"Spring Marsh" SOLD
At this time of year the fresh new Oak tree leaves and wispy strands of Spanish Moss dip down into the Lowcountry's salty creeks, marshes and outlets.
"Gardens of the Old Village" SOLD
One of the most charming neighborhoods I've ever seen is located right here in Charleston South Carolina and is aptly named the "Old Village." Here, the sometimes centuries-old homes and their well manicured properties have hosted film productions, catalog model shoots and has been the muse of many books and poems.
"Ocean Family Holiday" SOLD
One way to experience a "Rebirth" of sorts is to refresh with loved ones on the ocean shores of South Carolina!
"Another Day" SOLD
One of the Themed paintings "Rebirth" for May's Charleston Artist Collective's online gallery.

"Shem Creek Outlet" SOLD
I wanted to name this something like "Sideways" or "Little Shem Creek" . . . but that sounded weird.. my Wednesday painting friends and I showed up at Shem Creek Park and walked half-way down the long pier and stopped at the side of Shem Creek at this tiny outlet. It was a beautiful day! No humidity, Loads of Sunshine and friendly faces passing by.
"Magnolia View of the Ashley" SOLD
5"x7" Oil on Linen mounted Birch Board panel SOLD
another one of the small series from my stroll throughout Magnolia Plantation. I thought a view of the Ashley River should be added.

"Sunny Magnolia Oak" SOLD
A very impressionistic expression of a very large Oak Tree at Magnolia Plantation.
"A Stroll Beside The Ashley" SOLD
Another one for the series of small paintings I am doing based on snapshots I took at Magnolia Plantation. I loved this path and the large Oak Trees hanging out over the Ashley River. This might be a fun one to repaint on a larger scale.

"Welcoming Oak" SOLD
Just before the road opens to the main house in Magnolia Plantation you'll see this large, grande Oak Tree. The fence below it running across the canvas is about 3.5 feet high to offer you perspective on the tree's enormous size!
"Red Bridge" SOLD
On one of our recent sunny, warm Spring days my daughter and I walked Magnolia Plantation and I snapped a bunch of photos.
"Little Cherub" SOLD
7"x5" Oil on Linen Birch Board Panel
This little Cherub & Fish Fountain can be found in one of the meditating gardens at Magnolia Plantation in Charleston, SC.

"Dainty Nibbles" SOLD
Another beautiful pony from the CATR Farms on Johns Island. They will be hosting a fundraiser on April 27th 2014 it'll be great fun for the whole family!
"Magnificence" SOLD
"Grandeur, Majesty, Stateliness, Nobleness, Glory, Radiance, Grace, Beauty, Style, Splendor," are just among some of the words synonymous with "Magnificence." I thought that all of these words summed up this stately beauty.

"Red Barn" SOLD
Despite the chilly, damp 40-degree weather, the Wednesday painters showed up to paint the glorious beauty of CATR Farms Therapeutic Riding Stables on Johns Island. What a joy to meet with the team of ladies who assist and work with children learning to break through their own disabilities riding the precious horses boarded here.
I look forward to coming back out to paint some more! If you are in the area on April 27th, come out to Johns Island, 2669 Hamilton Road off of River Road, for their fun Fundraiser. Food, Music and of course Horses! The grounds are gorgeous and the horses are sweet!

"Hay Fields" SOLD
Go ahead, say it. I am being way too literal for the Charleston Artist Collective's Theme next month: "Fields." But won't you agree that there is something about rolled up Hay Bales that makes for a gorgeous painting composition?
"Eating Out With a Friend" SOLD
I love these guys. They live around the way from my neighborhood. I pass by their farm as I head out and back from home and many times I'll stop and pat a nose or rub their necks. They are the sweetest!

My sweet husband came home from a long day at work with this bouquet of roses in his hands, . . Just because!

"Sea Oats on Sullivan's" SOLD
I may have "pushed" the colors on this image a bit too much. . . so I may re-take, but this is from a photo I took on one of the last days of the swimming season as school started late last year. . . I've been desiring to paint this image for quite some time. The day was glorious and it was one I was able to enjoy with both my children as we all played in the surf of Sullivan's Island.
"Pitcher of Sun"
Yesterday was my designated plein air day and it was rainy and cold! So I set up a still life of my own sunshine. Sunflowers always make me happy (especially on a gloomy day).
"Beach Around The Bend"
It was the first sunny and somewhat warm day of the year and I was blessed to be out painting with one of my painting buddies. . . I simply "played" in that fact and allowed myself to enjoy the color, shapes of shadows and light as I painted this.
"Beach Dune Patterns" SOLD
The shapes and patterns of the dunes' shadows led me out to the distant beach.
"Gnarled Oak Patterns" SOLD
The patterns of the shadows and the branches themselves intrigue me. They must be painted!
Tea Bouquet SOLD
The cold, wet weather as of late has limited my plein air outings but has provided plenteous opportunity to exercise my still-life muscles!
Fragrant Blooms SOLD
This one is headed to the Columbus Museum of Art in Georgia for their annual "Let There Be Art!" Exhibit and sale. 2014 marks my third year participating in this fundraising event in which sales benefit the Beautiful, ongoing Art exhibits of this exquisite Museum.

"Fragrant Early Blooms"
This month's theme for The Charleston Artist Collective is "Intoxicating" and that is exactly my reaction to one of my favorite spring flowers, Hyacinths. To my surprise, I found these sprouting where I had set the pots aside last fall after cutting them down, thinking they were only a season away from the trash! They look so pretty that I put them by my front porch. Along side my watering can, they made a pretty little display that I had to paint it! Happy Springtime everyone!
"Belle Journee Deux" SOLD
A "re-do" of the original "Belle Journee" which was destroyed en transit to its new home. Although it is not an exact copy of the original (in part to maintain their originality), it is my hope that this might provide happiness to that buyer or anyone else who desires it. Have a beautiful day, "Belle Journee!"

"American Shrimpers" SOLD
"Evening Stroll" SOLD
This is a bit colorful compared to my other Shore Bird paintings, but the evening light here on the coast shows off brilliant color!

"Top Three (Well, Look At That!)"
I continue to receive requests to paint more for my Shore Birds series. . . here is another. . .
Charleston Gas Lamp SOLD
7"x5" Oil on Linen/Birch Board Panel SOLDWords to live by
I hope the artist from whom I copied this doesn't mind. I think this is a brilliant quote!

"Temple Bar Dublin" Ooops! I need a better image! SOLD
16"x20" Oil on Canvas
SOLD
This is a commissioned piece
for a lovely couple from their daughters for Christmas. The girls visited this popular historic site. Their parents are taking dance lessons and wanted me to paint their parents dancing within the image.
I was in such a hurry to get this shipped out that I neglected to take a quality photo of it.
But this is what I have so far. . . hopefully, soon, I'll have a better image to show.
