I frequently travel between NJ and Pa and always pass through the Delaware Water Gap area. Just before the bridge, coming from NJ, is a cut off leading to a recreation area on the East side of Rt. 80. It offers a close up view of the Delaware River and Gap . During the past several years there has been severe flooding and the area has been renovated with a new welcome center. This painting represents the area before the new fence was installed, not that anyone would probably even notice, but just thought I'd make a notation on that for those who would remember. Oil on canvas 18x24. (Private Collection)
This is a beautiful painting of a beautiful place. I remember this fence well as it provided a romantic backdrop to the happiest days of my life. I haven't been back there in years and I'm hoping that the flood didn't destroy the beauty of this wonderful place.
ReplyDeleteI know this precise location well. It brings me back to time long ago when I was younger and madly in love. The youth is fading, but the love still remains. Thanks for creating this masterpiece and thanks even more for sharing.
