Marsh-a Marsh-a Marsh-a

I love to be in the marsh landscape. I have enjoyed painting marshes for as long as I’ve been painting.

The above marsh is an amalgam from the Great Salt Marsh in Newbury on the Rowley line of Massachusetts. It has a long history in fine art paintings, and when I paint it I enjoy feeling the connection to other artists in assorted time.

What is it about a marsh that makes folks enjoy paintings of them?

And is there a place you connect with? If you’re a painter, is there a spot you love to paint again and again?

My guy Tim has been known to call me Marsha for obvious reasons ;)
