Situated on the Intercoastal Waterway the 21-mile Neusiok Trail meanders through cypress swamps, loblolly pines and vast bogs of thick vegetation.
Sally talks about the inspiration for this painting. "I run or walk a section of the lovely Neusiok trail in the Croatan
National Forest almost every day with my dog Theo.
Right now the
Oyster Point section of the trail is especially beautiful. They did a
controlled burn there earlier this year and everything was black. Now
spring is taking over and beautiful green ferns are growing up out the
dark black ground. Very striking. And now the marsh grasses are
appearing purple! Just breathtakingly beautiful... I'm trying to capture a glimpse of it in a few
paintings I'm working on. I hope I can convey some part of the beauty
that's there..."
