Operation Fundstorm: Hurricane Michael relief fund for the Forgotten Coast

A group of 175+ Artists, led by Artists extraordinaire, Larry Moore, Lisa Hale,  Cathleen Windham and Denise Rose are donating an original work to raise emergency funds for clean up and rebuilding the areas most in need along the panhandle coast.

Many of the artists donating have stood and painted in the spots decimated by the storm.

The monies raised will go to Franklin's Promise Coalition to address immediate needs there: clean up, food, shelter, water, and emergency crews to do the work.

Joe Taylor, from Plein Air South and The Forgotten Coast Plein Air Event, is on the ground clearing debris and helping along with the good folks of the Forgotten Coast area.

"Intercoastal Wonder II"

30"x40" Oil on Linen Canvas

This larger version is based on the little Plein Air Painting I did from Sullivan's Island. . . hhmmm, I may continue to work it out. . .

"All in a Line"

10"x10" oil on linen birch board panel, painted en plein air, alla prima on location.

This was the first of two paintings I did while at this location.  The tide was higher when I painted this one than in the second painting revealing the tops of the skinny sand bars and oyster beds neatly lined up together.

"Oyster Beds"

8"x8" Oil on Gessoed Cradled Wood, painted en plein air, alla prima, on site

Another beautiful day to paint with friends on the creeks of Sullivan's Island.  The outgoing tide revealed these "tiny island" oyster beds and I loved the texture it added to the water's surface.

"Cloud Parade" SOLD

6"x8" Oil on Linen Birch Board Panel, painted en plein air, alla prima on location  SOLD

The clouds often "show off" for you on coast of the Lowcountry. And this day did not disappoint. The colors were vibrant.  The little oyster beds lined up to watch as the clouds passed by with the wind.

Playing Catch Up! New & Old Paintings

My apologies that I haven't posted my Plein Air Paintings lately. . . 2016 is proving to be a very busy year so far!

The following images are paintings I have painted in various locations around Charleston, SC. One painting is an (unfinished) interior painting from a cold day in February of my friend's beautiful new home. In fact, all of these are "sketches" that are each "unfinished" and those I plan to go back into to finish up.  I'll repost as I complete each one.

Thanks for your continued faithful following of my blog and painting posts.

 "Creek's Low Tide" 9"x12" Oil on Linen Panel, painted en Plein Air, Alla Prima, on site at the boat landing at Station 26 on Sullivan's Island, SC

I can't wait to finish the lower right corner of this piece. . . I really enjoyed painting this one.  It is titled, "New Sanctuary" 9"x12" Oil on Linen Panel, painted on location and all at once (Alla Prima) in my dear friend's new home. . . the sweet peace that you feel in here is so evident and it was my hope that I captured the atmosphere here.  The interior's cool, fresh, calm tones against the warm sunlight coming in through the windows captured me! I'll be sure to repost when I complete this painting!

"Symphony of Silence"

30"x40" Oil on Linen Canvas

Painted from one of my favorite plein air painting sites on Sullivan's Island, SC.  It is so calm and so serene at this location. The silence is almost deafening.

"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"

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.
