Marsh Islands

In the marsh there are these little high ground places that are not constantly bathed by the rising tide like the grass and trees can gain a foothold. These islands were laid out in a row like this with these wonderful mauve shadows. I did this with a red ground and worked and worked and finally gave up. I visited my friend, James Melvin, who said, oh, if it is oil keep working on it. You'll get it. And I finally got to where I wanted to be. 12 x 9, oil on a panel, framed, $175
