No Rush Café — Public Collection
I’m delighted to invite you to explore a stunning series of plein air paintings by the talented Brian Testa, now on view at No Rush Cafe in Freeport, NY. These works, painted directly from observations of the natural world, capture the essence of our community’s vibrant surroundings, from the golden light over the nautical mile to the rich textures of sandy beaches. Testa’s keen eye for the subtleties of nature and his command of color bring a fresh, contemporary sensibility to the timeless tradition of plein air painting. It’s more than a cafe—it’s a celebration of our local landscape through the eyes of an exceptional artist. I encourage you to visit the public collection and immerse yourself in the beauty of these works. #LocalArt #NoRush
