"Old Overseer" SOLD
Another gorgeous Wednesday to paint. This view is from the top of the Sullivan's Island Mound. I have painted it before and I liked it so much I thought I'd paint it in a different season. Perhaps I'll try a Monet project. This is also for November's theme for the Charleston Artist Collective's "Old Soul."
"Ancient Soul" SOLD
For November's theme: Old Soul. these timeless ancient trees could tell some stories, I'm sure!
"Belle Journee" Re-photographed
The colors just weren't accurate as I would have liked in my original post of this painting. Voila!
"Old Sage" SOLD
Stella Maris was our painting spot this particular sunny day. Because the theme for November's Charleston Artist Collective is "Old Soul" I thought that this historic structure was an appropriate subject.

"Artist's Self Portrait Sketch"
When no model is available, paint a self portrait! Ok, Ok, this isn't a good representation of me, I noticed that I made my nose too short (could it be an unconscious wish? Ha!) But it is a good exercise for painting the portrait. I will do it again to keep those "portrait muscles" warm.
"Sketch of Contemplation"
Casadei modeled again. . . I can't believe how beautiful she is! I only hope to capture half the beauty she exudes!
"Belle Journee" SOLD
It truly was a beautiful day. The tides were higher than we've ever seen!

"Tidal Pools beyond the Dunes"
The influence of friends' painting styles is showing up in this painting. I am blessed by and love my painting friends because of their artistic experience and wisdom.
"Balcony Beach Views" SOLD
I was treated to a lovely spot on Sullivan's Island near Station 19 at which to paint. I stood up on a shady porch with views of lush dunes and palms and the sound of the crashing nearby waves!
"Bountiful Harvest"
My kids and I went to the local Farmer's Market and saw such beautiful produce! The colors were delicious and I thought that before I eat them, I'll paint them!
"Misty Mountain Morning" GIFTED
I touched up the painting just a tiny bit. . . what do you think?
"A Charleston Wedding" Final SOLD
The final painting awaits its home with the New Bride and Groom

"Misty Mountain Morning" GIFTED
I think this one is finished as well. I need to get my eyes off of it for a time so I can look at it again with a fresh, objective viewpoint. I welcome comments!! Thanks!
"A Charleston Wedding"
I think this one if complete. . . just waiting a response from the Bride and Groom and a wink and a smile ;)

"Island Boardwalk" adjusted
Here it is again, the same painting as the earlier post but the "sky holes" in the distant trees have been "calmed-down."
"Cistern Archway" SOLD
The following day (after painting the wedding event) Christopher Murphy and I were asked to represent The Charleston Artist Collective at the Open Arts Festival which took place at the College of Charleston Cistern field (the movie, The Patriot staring Mel Gibson was also filmed here). I set up my easel and started this little painting of the entryway into the historical yard. I may need to re-shoot the image to get the correct color. But I wanted to post to show in any case.
