This is positive news from Casey. Congratulations! The N’oreaster That Walked Me onto a Netflix Set In the 10/28/2026 edition:  By casey on Oct 23, 2026 03:02 pm Jumbo Advancing Wave 48 x 72 oil/canvas by Casey Chalem Anderson View From The Bridge, Oil on wood, 24in x 24in When Shannon Wiley of Sea Green Designs phoned and asked, “Would you want to have your paintings in a film?” my first response was, “Well, what kind of film?” My mind raced through the possibilities: student film, porn film. I needed a little more information before picturing my paintings on the big screen. The connection began with a six-by-four-foot ocean wave. Shannon had selected it for above the fireplace at the Hamptons Design House, and images of that installation were on her website. That’s where the set designers found it. Which is how they found me. I’ve been focusing on larger canvases. At that scale, a painting can shift the atmosphere of a whole room. The project turned out to be “Women Like Us,” the upcoming Netflix film starring Whoopi Goldberg, Vivica A. Fox, Vanessa Williams, and Jennifer Lewis, with Michelle Obama as an executive producer. When I spoke with the set designer, she asked if I had other paintings. I sent images, and she said, “I think we want to take all of them.” Ultimately, they rented nine of my paintings for the production at the Pridwin Hotel on Shelter Island. Renting work for a film was entirely new to me. A few days later I was invited to come check out the set. A man with an earpiece directed me to park at the bottom of the hill, parallel to the raging steel-grey water churned up with whitecaps.  A nor’easter was brewing and the evidence was here. I held on to my hat as I made my way to the hotel entrance. The first thing I saw was one of my large wave paintings against a forest green wall. Inside, a hubbub of activity filled the air. People were opening boxes, unpacking, taping things. Everyone seemed to know their job, working together in a coordinated and focused way. I was surprised by how many people it took to bring the set together. None of the stars were there during my visit. I met the set designer and an art director, both welcoming and genuinely enthusiastic about the paintings. Hearing that felt wonderful. My contact told me to wander, so I spent about forty-five minutes soaking it in. Some of my paintings were already hanging, but at one point I looked up and saw that “View from the Bridge”, had been moved to a wall while I was there. That Towd Point view, salt marshes, and water took its place in a new setting. It became part of someone else’s story. What struck me was the care; nothing felt casual. Everything within the camera’s view seemed chosen to help tell the story. It was a thrill to see my work shape the feeling of being by the sea.  I can’t wait to see the finished film and discover how the paintings appear on screen. These paintings carry the sea indoors, its shifting light and quiet force. They hold a sense of presence that draws us back to the shoreline again and again. Warmly, Casey     Read in browser »

Nor’easter at Towd Point

Towd Point Nor’easter
photo

There is something so homespun and “aw shucks” about the name Nor’easter. It is as if it is just an innocent visit from some relatives from some small town that you’ve barely heard of. It’s so familiar and friendly with that apostrophe that allows the drop of the “th”, almost cute. And it happens every Fall that I can recall. But it packs a wallop of water. Sometimes not too intense, but this time it just happened to coincide with the Harvest Moon, the full moon. The moon at its most powerful, pulling at the tides and making the sea spill over anything that attempted to contain it.

But look at what you can see.

Color was rung out of the skies, as if the sun just forgot to wake up. In the sky was a barely there breath of yellow that made the overall grayness heavier, like a curtain drawn across the entire horizon. Look just below where the sky meets the water, and bright silver-white marks move across the horizon in abbreviated dashes. And just under the bright whiteness is gray green, a color that reminds me of a dirty 20-dollar bill; you really don’t want to touch it. If you’re smart, you keep a safe distance.

The waters rush in, pushing past every boundary where sand used to be. A sandbar planted with griege -colored salt grass holds on in the mid-distance. Where I stand, blades of olive-green salt marsh, tipped with orange, poke up through the calmer water closer in. Here the grasses blow over, all bending to the left, to the west. These yellow-green grasses glisten and sparkle against the bleached-out, whipped-up scene. The grasses are sturdy, deeply planted in the sand with their deep brown roots exposed beneath them. They will hold on.

Putting up a photo is unusual for me here, but I didn’t have time to paint this. I’d like to soon, before I forget what it all felt like.

Hope all is well after the storm,

Casey

The Spark Before the First Brushstroke

In the 07/29/2026 edition: 
By casey on Jul 28, 2026 05:45 pm

Sharing the beginning of an oil painting……………

Most people imagine that a painting begins when the brush first touches the canvas. For me, it begins much earlier.

A few days ago, I was driving through Sag Harbor on my way to Southampton. As I passed Long Beach, something caught my eye. Along the edge of the bay, wildflowers had appeared as if overnight. Tall Queen Anne’s lace rose above the grasses, surrounded by delicate lavender blossoms that seemed to have volunteered their way into the landscape. Behind them was the bay, an extraordinary teal blue, deep and luminous, almost jewel-like in the morning light.

I pulled over.

I carefully walked into the grasses, taking photographs from every angle. Not because I intended to copy what I saw, but because I didn’t want to lose the feeling of that place. I knew immediately that this wasn’t simply a beautiful view; it was the beginning of a painting.

I still had to get to my errands, so the drive ahead became part of the creative process. I turned off the radio.

When an idea takes hold, I don’t want anything competing with it. My mind becomes completely absorbed. I begin asking myself questions. What size canvas wants to hold this scene? Should the flowers dominate, or should the sweep of the bay carry the painting? How much sky? What colors will capture that impossible blue-green water? Which greens will make the grasses glow?

It’s one of the greatest pleasures I know.

There is an excitement that comes before a painting exists, when everything is still possible. I don’t know exactly what the finished painting will look like. In fact, I never do. The reference photographs are only the starting point. The painting grows from memory, emotion, and intuition as much as observation.

That uncertainty is part of the magic. By the time I arrived back at my studio, I wasn’t thinking about the errands I had planned that day. I was thinking about pulling out a canvas, laying out paint, and searching for the right mixtures to capture the colors I had just witnessed and the feeling they left behind.

The painting now sits on my easel, still unfinished.

Its composition continues to evolve. Some flowers will disappear. Others will become more prominent. The grasses will shift. The light will find its way across the canvas in ways I can’t yet predict.

That is what I love most about painting. The finished work is never simply a record of a place. It is a record of being moved by a place.

Until next time,

Casey

Casey Chalem Anderson didn't like Basket Ball! So painting became her thing.

How I Turned My Teenage Frustration into Art Casey Painting Large “Towd Point” Canvas in Oil I never liked basketball. I spent countless hours in the schoolyard watching the guys play basketball. I resented it; why wasn’t I doing something I wanted to do? Instead, all the girls waited around in our bell-bottom jeans and hugapoo shirts.  I was frustrated. It appeared that the important people were the guys. I’m sure this is part of what propelled me to be an artist. Being a painter is self-directed. You set up your space, grab your supplies, and get started. You don’t need a team; you get to enjoy a moment with yourself experimenting. That is not to say there aren’t times when I’m painting of complete frustration. I wouldn’t say that painting is relaxing, not for me anyway. On the contrary, it is intense; I’m driven to make all the parts of the painting work to make it a success. What defines a successful painting? Balance of the shapes across the canvas, luscious color, and new color combinations. My mixtures are recipes that I devise and improvise on. Every color I use is a combination of colors, very rarely straight out of the tube. Don’t get me started on the possibilities of green. You might think, ok, so mix up some yellow and blue. With all the blue paints available and yellows like Naples, Cadmium Lemon, Cadmium Medium, Yellow Ochre, and Radiant Yellow, you could spend a lifetime figuring out what effect you want to create when layers of colors are spread across the canvas. I use my recall of how I felt at a place. I have a lifelong commitment to thinking about the spaces we inhabit at the beach. I try out colors that parallel my memory of the pleasure I experience by the water. The colors must strike a delicious chord, like falling in love. It invigorates my entire body, and I can’t stop painting while I ride that wave. Now that’s a complete turnaround from my teen years waiting around for something to happen. There’s no waiting for anyone or anything. It’s all up to me. These days, as long as I get my painting time in, I’ve even started to appreciate basketball. Until next time!

“Ocean Flow” 24″ x 60″ oil/canvas by Casey Chalem Anderson

I couldn’t wait a moment longer. When the newly finished wood floors were dry, I removed my shoes at the door and entered in socks only. In a glance, I devoured the entire living room; the place looked fantastic. It was spare, open, soft, and gentle, exactly how I had envisioned it. But when I looked over at the space above the fireplace, I knew what was missing. I had to create the perfect painting for the room, and it had to be a five-foot-wide ocean wave.

I think art sets the tone in a room. It’s a focal point and one of the most vital elements to create the desired mood in a space. A painting gives heart and warmth to a room. It is the ultimate accessory. When a painting of the glorious color of a breaking wave vibrates and the shimmering foam seems to vanish into the sand, the meditative perception of the ocean is recreated right in your living room.

“Questioning the Sky”

“Questioning the Sky” 24 x 36 inches oil/canvas

I was losing energy toward the end of the day. A long one that dragged on. The entire day was drab. All along the road, the tree branches were a colorless taupe. The grass was squeezed out of any possibility of green; it looked like straw. The sky remained solid gray and icy. As I drove, I thought about how desperately I needed a cup of coffee.

And then a flash of light lit up in my rearview mirror. Ahead of me, the sky was a darker blue and oddly foreboding. I knew what was happening. The sun had just dipped below the cloud cover, and the colors were dancing. I made a complete 180 and headed toward the water to catch the show. The golds, peaches, pinks, and intense blues pulsated in the sky and the water. I was so thrilled I completely forgot I wanted coffee.

Warmly, Casey

(This painting is part of my ongoing series, “36 Views of Towd Point”)

When the Sky Floats

“When the Sky Floats” 30 x 40 inches oil/canvas by Casey Chalem Anderson

Living in the Hamptons after the official season has enormous benefits. Not only is the traffic thinner, but the skies put on a show of intense color not seen in the summer months. One of the many reasons I love Towd Point so much is the opportunity to witness how courageously a thin strip of land can hold ground. Surrounded by water that could engulf it at any moment, it reminds us of the delicate edge we all live on.

The sky floods with colored light, and the sea reflects all the action above. You could stand on your head to see the view upside down, and the sensation would be the same. This completed painting will be included in my ongoing “36 Views of Towd Point” series.

You can see other paintings of mine at Seagreen Designs at 68 Jobs Lane in Southampton https://www.seagreendesignsllc.com/about-us/, open every day through the season. I’m in Sag Harbor, working in my first-time officially heated studio; if you have any questions. Yay!

Expanse at Towd Point 24″ x36″ oil on canvas By Casey Chalem Anderson

This is that moment right before we lose the light that allows us to see color. The day is turning into night but not before a spectacular show where the sky lights up and reflects all its glory into the water. There’s a thin and fragile dark strip of land running parallel to the sunlit line of bay water.

This is the first painting of my current project “36 Views of Towd Point”. I truly love to go down there and observe the water and sky as it is always different. Lately, I’ve been listening to some mellow jazz like John Coletrain, Ben Webster (one of my Dad’s favorites), and Dexter Gordon. The mood is rhythmic and upbeat but at the same time soft. The visual and the sound together make me feel just the way I want to feel.

Don’t forget the East End Hospice Cigar Box Auction is this Saturday. See my box “Swept Away” below.  Click here for all the info:https://caseyart.com/events/ 

Until next time,

Casey

Casey Chalem Anderson: Back to the Easel August, 9,2022.

Back to the Easel In the 08/10/2022 edition:  By casey on Aug 09, 2022 06:40 pm “Spectacular Towd Point ” Oil on canvas 24″ x 36″ by Casey Chalem Anderson It feels so good to be back painting in my studio where it’s cool and contained I can paint at a sustained pace. When I saw this sunset I was stunned. My spirit soared, and I experienced a sense of peace. When the sky is the water and the water the sky, you can turn the painting upside down and not be sure which way is up. I love when that happens, it is otherworldly. I’m still working on this, it’s not complete. In fact, if you look closely, a couple of areas are untouched by the brush. I know what I must do next, but I wanted to share it. I posted a time-lapse video of me painting this on Instagram click here: IMG_6729  and check it out if you haven’t seen it yet- it’s quick and funny. (it will download, then you can play it) While I’ve painted Towd Point many times over the years I’m embarking on a project I’m calling, “36 Views of Towd Point”. It’s an homage to Hokusai, the famous Japanese woodblock printmaker who created “36 Views of Mount Fuji”. I’m sure you are familiar with one of them, The Great Wave off Kanagawa. If you look closely you will see Mt Fuji in the distance. Towd Pointmay be my Mt Fuji. All my best, Casey P.S. Let me know if you want to stop by and visit the studio. *I also have paintings to see in the design shop at Seagreen Designs, 68 Job’s Lane, Southampton, NY (An inspiring place to experience elegant yet relaxed coastal design-check it out if you are in Southampton Village)  https://www.seagreendesignsllc.com/     #caseyandersonart#fineartmagazine#summerartfun
