The tidal marshes separating beach resort towns (such as Ocean City) from the inland coast of New Jersey are rich in biodiversity and in need of preservation, so painting here is a special experience. As I was painting there were horseshoe crabs at my feet, the smells of fish and salt water in the air and the cries of shore birds feeding in the marshes a few feet away. I tried to capture the vibrant glowing colors of the marsh.
