Long Island Marshes


Oil on canvas
16X20
This is a synthesis of some ideas that I got from:
- a pastel I saw on Facebook (The sky and the water)
- a landscape painting by a German painter from the 1950's (the light and the marshes)
- memories of riding a horse as a teenager through marshes that have been overlayed by what are now the runways of JFK airport in Queens, NY (the colors)
Thanks to all for the ideas and inspiration!
