This was fun to paint. Inspired by coastal marshes in the lowcountry. The richly saturated jewel tones stand out nicely against the dark grass making for a dramatic scene. I hope you enjoy the results! TIDAL WETLANDS, 16x16”, Acrylic ©2025 Jim Musil

Apparently, it's good for your mental health to look at plants. At this rate, I'll carry a plant around with me everywhere. + a cute little jumping spider joined me during lunch :)
