This watercolor painting depicts the famous Jones Beach Water Tower, often referred to locally as “the Pencil”. Throughout my childhood, the sight of the tower in the distance on Ocean Parkway meant that the beach day had started. The tower was designed in 1930 to resemble the bell tower of St Mark’s basilica in Venice, and at 188 feet, remains one of the most distinctive and beloved structures on Long Island.
