| 'Back to the Marsh' 8x10 pastel ©Karen Margulis sold
I can always retreat to the marsh. It always inspires me. The many moods and colors. The wide open views. The sounds. The smells. And of course the birds. Painting the marsh gets me excited. If I am not in the mood to paint (rare) looking through my reference photos of the marshes I have visited always lights the fire. The marsh is an old friend but I look for ways to interpret it in new ways.

I am passionate about the marsh and I embrace that passion. It is the most important consideration for me when choosing a subject to paint. If I am passionate about a subject I will do a better job.

This is so cool. Thank you for another great article.
I look over what I choose to paint, over years. Some things predominate.
Wild places, ancient places, tropical places. Any subject with local colors that fall in the pure saturated hues I love - flowers, fish, birds, holiday decorations. Cats large or small and sometimes prehistoric life.
These paintings are all about time off and lack of stress.
