Carroll Family Plantation

                                                                                         30"x40" $300 + s&h

With this piece I tried to imagine how Poplar Island, Maryland would have looked 40 years after the historical Carroll family's farm had been sacked by the British in 1812-14 and fields of cord grass and vines had taken over the once tilled land. The scene is something I have written about in my historical fiction novel I've been working on and I found it always helps to paint and write about the same thing. One informs the other.
