Plein Air Art Show
Laura McGowan 

Laura McGowan lives and works on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. She is inspired by the beauty of her surroundings to paint the Shore's creeks, salt marshes, and farm fields, as well as moody skies and joyful ocean waves. Whatever her subject, she strives to capture the emotion of a moment in time, created by light.

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.

A view from the wildlife loop on Assateague Island on a hot humid afternoon. I love the subtle variations in color in the marsh vegetation, the lone tree, and the marsh mallow in bloom.

I enjoyed painting this scene in a rural part of Chincoteague Island. Luckily the ponies that were grazing nearby didn’t decide to crowd around until I was finished!
