Discover Cape Cod Through Art: Featured Local Creations in Lost Horizons Homes

At Lost Horizons Cape Cod, our rental properties offer more than just a place to stay; they provide a gateway to experiencing the rich cultural tapestry of Cape Cod, particularly through the stunning local artwork displayed within our homes. This season, we are thrilled to highlight the beautiful Cape Cod-inspired artwork by local artist Laura Bedard, whose pieces not only decorate our homes but also capture the essence of Cape Cod life.

Laura Bedard: A Local Talent

Laura Bedard, a Dartmouth native and a passionate creator, has been capturing the spirit of the ocean and its inhabitants in her vivid artwork. Specializing in watercolor and acrylics, Laura brings to life the vibrant biodiversity of Cape Cod’s marine environment. From the playful spirals of seahorses to the dynamic swirls of octopuses, her work is a celebration of the sea.

Artwork in Our Homes

In several Lost Horizons rental homes, Laura’s artwork serves as a focal point that enhances the charm and ambiance of our spaces. Guests often express their admiration for the unique and colorful art pieces, which not only beautify the rooms but also create a connection to the local environment and its marine life.

One of the standout pieces, featured prominently in our properties, is the seahorse watercolor painting. This piece, with its delicate brushwork and soothing palette, encapsulates the calm and beauty of Cape Cod waters. Another favorite is the striking octopus painting, its tentacles flowing across the canvas, symbolizing the mystery and allure of the deep blue.

Bringing Cape Cod Home

For those who fall in love with the artwork during their stay, there’s good news. All of Laura Bedard’s pieces displayed in our homes are available for purchase. Guests can bring a piece of their Cape Cod experience back home by visiting LauraBedard.redbubble.com. Here, not only can you find prints of the artwork admired in our homes, but also a range of accessories from tote bags to apparel, all adorned with Laura’s distinctive art.
