Morning in Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge. Rapid 2hr study. I challenged myself to paint it entirely with filbert brushes, rather than my usual larger flat brush. View from behind the phragmites, looking east across the vast fields shortly after sunrise.

“Second Dam” on the White Clay Creek in Newark, DE. This dam is scheduled for removal, which is bittersweet. I will be sad to see this dam go, but also excited to see the Creek restored, and to watch the Shad make a comeback.
