Dunes Creek at the Indiana Dunes State Park Copyright 2015 Hirschten Oil on Canvas 11" x 14" |
A few minutes before I did this painting a muskrat swam up the center of the creek, nibbled on some grass then kept on swimming. It was a delightfully rich place! I am so glad this marshland is being preserved.
"We are still each others only hope. If love is the way we have of communicating
personally in the deepest way, then what art can do is to extend this
communication, magnify it, and carry it to vastly greater numbers of
people. Therefore art is valid for the warmth and love it carries within
it, even if it be the lightest entertainment, or the bitterest satire,
or the most shattering tragedy."
-James Baldwin
