A painting of a local salt marsh from a few days ago. [View all]

I haven't posted my art here in quite a while, but I've still been painting and improving. This one is from this past weekend. It was a gorgeous afternoon/early evening to go out and paint. The late afternoon light made the salt marsh glow.
