![]() SUNRISE ACROSS THE MARSH Laura McGowan $425 Oil Painting - 8" H, 10" W Framed - Total: 14.5" H x 16.5" W I woke up before 5 am, intending to get to Assateague beach to paint the sunrise. When I was driving up to the park entrance, I saw the sign: Refuge closed 5-12 am for "pony health check"! Who knew? Luckily I was able to capture this view instead. I think it might have been even better. Questions? Email lmcgowan1997@gmail.com Click to purchase |
