THE LONGEST DAY
The Longest Day
Recently much of my work has been focused on depictions of the Susquehanna River, as viewed from various locales in Lancaster and York Counties, and focused on the season and the weather conditions. The Longest Day is my representation of dusk on the summer solstice, as experienced near the historic Veterans Memorial Bridge in Columbia, PA.

About the Susquehanna: Archaeology of the Lower Susquehanna River reveals that American Indians had utilized its resources for thousands of years. Around 1550 AD, the people we know as the Susquehannock moved from higher up the river to the Lower Susquehanna Valley. The Susquehannock were Iroquoian speakers and shared many similarities with the Iroquois in New York. Learn more here.
