Sunrise, Sunset. . .

Over an hour and a half before sunrise, I drove down to Edisto Island's beach to capture 

(plein air paint) the rising sun.

One more time I drove down to Edisto Island to paint the glorious sky but this time it was to paint the setting sun.  The colors were simply sublime!

Wedding Event Paintings - Love is in the Air!

 It is always Wedding Season! 

 This is a beautiful wedding (unfinished, but well on its way) which took place at a very exclusive property on the Ashley River called Runnymead.  Neighboring the historical plantations and gardens up and down the Ashley River in West Ashley SC, this site boasts historical ruins of its own with river views and grand oaks that can shade up to an acre of land!  

This is a stunning location for a wedding.

Another beautiful location to capture a wedding on canvas, and this one is truly exclusive; is the back yard of the Groom's parents home!  This stunning location also has river views behind which the sun sets in glorious technicolor!!  I just love my job!!  

"Portrait of Richard" (being very patient!)

27"x25" Black & White Conte on Grey Canson MiTentes Paper

As an example for a Basic Drawing Class I am currently teaching, 

I needed a model to pose for me. . . Richard willingly sat and did so very well.
