Marsh


Marsh

While there is much that needs improvement in this quickly done sketch and watercolor, I loved the scene and the memories it invokes of the Isle of Palms, SC, where I raised my children. I much preferred the calmness of the marsh and quiet of the waterway to the pounding surf of the beach.

Lovely use of colour - I can almost hear the grass rustling.

Oh yes, this is so much a scene of calm. I, like you, prefer calmer, quiet lakes and creeks to the crashing ocean. You've captured the sense of place beautifully.
Hugs,

This is a very sentimental sketch that portrays your feeling above. I’ve always lived in a city and know nothing about marsh or wetland, but your painting gives me an inkling of its quiet ambiance.

Lovely landscape. I especially like the clouds, sky and water.
