            We’ll be visiting this area again in a couple of weeks and I can’t wait! When I see the colors of the reference photos I used for this painting, I always think of fall but this is the marsh in March, close to sunset. I love the way the setting sun makes the marsh glow with warmth; a nice contrast to the many grey and dreary days we’ve been experiencing lately.

            Hope your weekend is full of warmth and light!

A Place Worth Saving

            I have to admit that when I was growing up, I thought places like this were where you went to get up close and personal with snakes and alligators, not something I was eager to do. But because I’ve long been interested in preserving the natural environment, I’ve learned the value of wetlands in that they harbor countless species of fish, birds, and other wildlife. They offer protection from storms, and reduce flooding and erosion.  In addition, given the influence of my friend and gifted artist, Karen Margulis, I now see the great beauty in wetlands.

            Hope there’s beauty in your weekend!

            I saw this scene from the car as we reluctantly drove away from the Charleston area in the fall. In spite of the grey day, there was this beautiful stream and just a hint of color in the fields.

            Happy Weekend!
