A Plein air oil Painting painted on stretched linen canvas from the wetland series painting from the Chesapeake Bay.  Capturing this area at its prime. It is unfortunate that the climate change and salinity change of the bay is killing off the wetlands.  “I painted this piece on location as a series of Chesapeake wetland pieces to decide the perfect location and the perfect time to paint.
