Highlands Art Exhibit at the Morris Museum

I'm happy to say that I have 2 paintings in this year's Highlands Art Exhibit, a show that celebrates the natural beauty of the Highlands Region, which stretches from Connecticut through New York and New Jersey, to Pennsylvania.  My 2 paintings are from places I've hiked in northern New Jersey.

The show is:

The 10th Annual Highlands Art Exhibit
organized by the New Jersey Highlands Coalition
October 20 – November 26, 2023
at
The Morris Museum, a Smithsonian Affiliate
6 Normandy Park Rd, Morristown, NJ


This first panting is a view from Bowling Green Mountain near Jefferson, NJ.  It's overlooking Mahlon Dickerson Reservation, a Morris County park.  This scene is pretty typical of the ridge-top views on many hiking trails in north Jersey.

My other painting in the show is from a winter hike around Merrill Creek Reservoir in Warren County.  It's not a difficult hike but it's pretty interesting and I've seen eagles over the lake on occasion.
