Fort Trumbull Beach | Original Oil on Canvas | Milford, CT
Under Changing Skies
Original Oil Painting on Canvas | 24 x 30 wide
 
Fort Trumbull Beach in Milford, Connecticut is captured in this original oil painting, which is part of a larger ongoing collection of works exploring the New England coastline. The painting captures the atmosphere of the Connecticut shoreline as the sky shifts and clears following a storm moving across Long Island Sound.
 
Fort Trumbull Beach is located along the Long Island Sound near Milford Harbor, the beach stretches for approximately 3,500 feet toward the harbor entrance. The area is part of a long sequence of residential beaches that have developed along Milford’s shoreline.
 
The name connects the beach with Fort Trumbull, a Revolutionary War era defensive battery established at the mouth of Milford Harbor. The shoreline subsequently became known as Fort Trumbull Beach, linking this contemporary coastal neighborhood with an important chapter in Milford’s history.
 
This Beach painting is part of an ongoing series documenting the beaches of Connecticut capturing each location’s unique light, atmosphere, and character.
