Artist Commentary: I would love to live with an estuary in my front or backyard. If you've ever spent a morning watching the sun rise or set on an estuary, you know the music that emanates from within. Birds, insects, horseshoe crabs, the tide coming and going. There is just so much activity to absorb and it's one of my favorite places to spend a day. My favorite part of this painting is the water...the strokes, the color. It just all came together in this painting.
