"From Sullivan's Station 18"
Today's painting! It was another glorious day in paradise. My 5-year old son accompanied me as I painted; he played in the surf and communed with all the dogs that walked by. . . we had a blast!
I literally bungee-corded my easel to the station 18 post to keep my set-up from blowing away!! HA!
"Une Autre Belle Journee" Sold
My computer crashed which explains the large jump in posts. . . so I am doing all of this via my phone. I hope that the editing (ie: cropping) I am doing through my phone shows up on this post. Advanced apologies if it isn't and looks sloppy. Hang tight as I get another computer :)

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."

"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

"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?

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!
