May Flowers

Hummingbird says: out here on the North Fork, people take their gardening pretty seriously, much to the delight of all. Between the plantings and fields of vegetables, vineyards and fruit trees in all their glory, it’s beautiful. We entered the first weekend of June with a bit of a heatwave. Not a bad time to enjoy the sights, scents and sounds of our gardens. Sitting in a shady spot, perhaps a vase of fresh picked flowers on the table, sipping our favorite beverage, with a gentle breeze rustling the leaves. Alright, you get the picture.
Carrying the theme forward, here is Meryl Spiegel’s May Flowers, painted in watercolor.
P.S. Is this a metaphor?

Meryl Spiegel

Meryl Spiegel is a photographic artist, whose work reflects her relentless curiosity whether she is on the street, in the fields or by the water. A former journalist for The New York Times with an MFA in Creative Writing, she now focuses primarily on her artwork, but is thrilled to share her thoughts here about how her creative life continues to evolve and expand.

“I picked up a camera years ago thinking it was the only way I could render humanity and its wonders,” she recalls. “Then three years ago, I began to draw and ultimately paint, not knowing I could.”

Also an educator, Meryl teaches photography as well as yoga, a passion that fuels her creativity off the mat. Regularly, she conducts photographic workshops at East End Arts. Last year the Center Moriches Library was awarded a grant from the NY State Council on the Arts to fund a Composition class conducted by Meryl and offered free to its patrons. This summer and fall, she will be conducting more classes at the library.

Meryl lives with her husband, Steven, and her hound dog, Copper, in East Quogue —where she raised her two daughters, Lauren, a Westhampton real estate agent, and Jaclyn, a financial analyst in Manhattan.
