Stinson Marshes by Gregory Dalton (Original Painting)

Stinson Marshes depicts the wetlands near Stinson Beach, where narrow channels of water wind through low coastal vegetation. Bands of blue, green, and ochre stretch across the painting, following the tidal patterns that continually reshape the boundary between water and land. Beyond the marsh, rounded hills rise in overlapping layers, their dark ridges softened by the coastal light.

Painted in oil on canvas, the landscape moves between broad passages of sky and water and the more closely worked plants in the foreground. Long, horizontal brushstrokes establish the openness of the marsh, while clustered leaves and branching forms give the shoreline density and texture. The repeated bands of cloud, hillside, and tidal water lend the scene a quiet rhythm, holding a moment in a landscape that is always changing.
