Local Artist, Joe Gyurcsak, adorns our cover with an acrylic on panel entitled, “Ocean Pathway.“ He states, “Ocean Pathway was painted right on the spot in Ocean Grove, NJ, one of my favorite places to paint. I have frequented this town with my family over many summers. This painting was inspired by the early morning light that just brought the perfect shadows and the light on the pathway looking towards the ocean. The whole scene just invites the viewer to explore down the path and see what is beyond.” Joe’s work tends to express a sense of light, atmosphere and mood. He likes to capture the fleeting moments in life as can be seen in all his paintings. Please read his impressive bio on page 8.
