The marsh in this painting is what first draws in the viewer's eye, as it is glowing in the warm colors of gold and orange as the sun drops lower in the sky. In contrast, you will notice the grass in the foreground has only a few splashes of sunlight, while the rest of the area is in the shadows.
Visual interest is added where you see movement in the water and the colorful kayaks secured on the floating dock. If you are lucky enough to have visited this special spot on Bald Head Island, you may recall the lone bush to the right that has withstood hurricanes and tornadoes and everything else nature has thrown its way. If only it could talk!
