I grew up in N.J. and lived in that area for a number of years.The light of that area in N.J. is as unique and lovely to paint as any in the world. If you travel a bit through the surrounding area you can still get a good taste of the history in those and small towns and villages that sit along the Delaware River.Check out the artist Michael Budden of N.J. http://www.mikebudden.com/ I think he captures N.J. light and atmosphere better than anyone since Daniel Garber.
