and a new painting. Leaving the flat farms of the mid west I decided to visit some of the landscapes from my home state of New Jersey. This painting was inspired by the marshes and tide water inlets in southern NJ. I have deliberately left out the many dead tree trunks that frequently stick up out of the marshes. (in keeping with my "no barns no trees" policy I established for my last several paintings.) I was also looking for a different atmospheric mood in this piece.
