Morning Watch

Oil on canvas panel - 12x9

When the morning is bright and the sea breeze is silent, it's as if the palm trees are standing guard - keeping watch - over the salt marsh.  These are fall colors for the marsh when the grasses turn golden before the other vegitation picks up their winter fashions.

This view of two palm trees alone in a hammock in the salt marsh is one of my favorite views, and I have painted various versions of it before.  Each time I do, I am drawn to new appreciation for the beauty of this place.
