"Family Tree II" sold

"Family Tree II" 20"x24" Oil on Belgian Linen Panel  sold

This is a specific commission of the larger version for one of the children 

whose family owned this farm and this tree.  

She requested that I include the plank of wood that the children used to climb up into the tree and remembers the trepidation she had traversing it way up over the marsh below.

As the owner of this reminisced, she recalled working the farm with her siblings long before the sun awoke. When midday made it too hot to work, 

her father would allow them a break to play and be shaded in these branches.  

During times when the tide was high, they would jump into the cool 

water to be refreshed until work had to resume. 

In the evenings, after the hard work was ended, the 9 children would climb back into the arms of this tree to watch the last display of color and light as the sun dipped below the horizon.

"Rockville Oak" sold

30"x24" Oil on Belgian Linen Canvas  sold

Rockville South Carolina is a charming coastal town that leaves you feeling as if you've stepped back in time.  Many of the roads are not yet paved and the homes are over a century old.  

This sleepy, quiet community is dreamy and has yet to be discovered by progress. 

Just as the residents would have it.

This particular road leads back to one of the small local churches; a white clapboard structure which can be found beyond and to the right of this ancient oak tree.
