Mark de Mos, local artist, adorns our cover
with a beautiful fall scene entitled “Fallen Giants.”
It is an oil painting which is the medium Mark is
focusing on in his newest works, this one inspired
by the beautiful fall colors of the current forest
and the resilience of nature. Mark’s friend showed
him this lovely stream that cut between the hills
of Montville, NJ called the Glen. He was so taken
with the beauty and the history of the giant Hem-
lock trees that he created this painting. Mark
states, “The fallen giants are giant Hemlock trees
that stood for centuries along the stream before
a blight killed all giant hemlocks around 30 years
ago. The trees are very resistant to insects so the
old trunks will still be a reminder about their for-
mer glory for many years to come.” Please read
Mark’s impressive bio on page 8.
