Trailing Ahead
Original Oil on Canvas | 18 x 36 wide
 
The Knob in Falmouth, Massachusetts is one of Cape Cod’s distinctive coastal landscapes, where a narrow stretch of land reaches into Buzzards Bay at the entrance to Quissett Harbor. This original oil painting captures the character of The Knob through the changing light, open water, rocky shoreline, and quiet atmosphere in this corner of Cape Cod.
 
The area is known for its rocky shoreline, sandy beaches, coastal vegetation, and expansive views across Buzzards Bay.
The Knob is also an important part of Falmouth’s history. The surrounding Quissett area was historically associated with saltworks and shipbuilding, while the Quissett Harbor House later became a popular summer resort.
 
This Beach painting is part of an ongoing series documenting the beaches of Cape Cod capturing each location’s unique light, atmosphere, and character.
