Oil on Canvas
As sea level rises, more and more saltwater encroaches on the land. Along the Delaware coast as in other coastal areas and estuaries, the invading sea water advances and overtakes the fresh water that deciduous trees rely on, slowly poisoning the living trees and leaving a haunted ghost forest of dead and dying timber. This painting is of a small section of the ghost forest at the Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge in Delaware.
