"In The Spotlight"

10"x8" Plein Air Oil on Linen Panel

I arrived at Shem Creek ready to paint as the sun was rising and found that the sun only cast its light on this little white boat putting all else around it in shadow.  

I love how it seemed to be "picked out" to shine, hence, the title.

"Shem Creek Studio"

8"x6" Oil on Linen Panel board, painted en plein air, alla prima, while on location

One of my dear artist friends with whom I paint is lucky enough to call this little red-roofed cottage her Artist's Studio.  The invitation to paint this sweet, quirky iconic Shem Creek shack produced this little guy.

"Geechie Dock"

8"x10" Oil on Canvas painted en plein air on location at Shem Creek in Mount Pleasant, SC.  The morning we all met out here to paint was one of the first sunny days we've experienced here the Lowcountry and I actually got a little bit of sunburn on my neck (yes, even with sunscreen)!  And we had an addition to our group: a most talented, visiting Canadian Artist.  So great to know you, Sara Jane!!!

"Shem Creek Shack"

8"x10" Oil on Canvas

Last week's plein air painting was a bit on the chilly side. Here is a little painting I did from a completely different vantage point. . . a fun, new discovery.

This will be available as part of the Charleston Artist Collective's "Pluff Mud" Theme in April.
