| Carrot Island Marsh Looking North Copyright 2014 Addie Hirschten Oil on Canvas 12" x 24" |
This is a spot on Carrot Island, North Carolina where you can look over the flat marshland to see the Beaufort houses just beyond the scrubby coastal brush. As the sun was setting the two layers of clouds took on a rich variety of color. This preserve is named after Rachel Carson.
"To stand at the edge of the sea, to sense the ebb and flow of the tides, to feel the breath of a mist moving over a great salt marsh,
to watch the flight of shore birds that have swept up and down the surf
lines of the continents for untold thousands of year, to see the
running of the old eels and the young shad to the sea, is to have
knowledge of things that are as nearly eternal as any earthly life can
be."
-Rachel Carson
Sky and clouds are used with great effect - really capturing the time and mood.
