Crum Creek
Acrylic on canvas – 16" x 20"

Crum Creek, which means “crooked creek” in Dutch, flows 24 miles from the Schuylkill. Delaware drainage ridgeline through Chester and Delaware Counties to its confluence with the Delaware River in Eddystone, Delaware County. The most important aspect of the 38 mile Crum Creek Watershed is that it supplies drinking water for more than 200,000 Delaware County residents. This important resource is being threatened by large scale development.

“This section of Crum Creek runs through Willistown Township and intersects with Grubb Mill Road at Whitehorse Road. Painting it in winter, I was able to conrast the snow with the earthy colors of the folliage and the barren trees that frame the rocks and frozen water.”
