"The Long & Winding Road" SOLD

Another gorgeous day in the Lowcountry!
This is one of the Sullivans Island Plein Air Painters' (SIPP) favorite painting spots.

and it was good to be back.

"Like Under The Tuscan Sun"
I am participating in an upcoming Art Exhibit with our group, The Charleston Artist Collective, and this will be one of my paintings available I plan to show.
The Tuscan Urn, the Straw Sun hat and the Sunflowers make me think of European countrysides like Southern France or the Tuscan region of Italy.

"High Tide Waterway" SOLD
8"x16" Oil on Gessoed Board Sold
First painting today.
Hmmmm, am I finished with this? Not sure.
But since I treat my blog as my journal of sorts, I am logging it as an example of my journey through this artistic process.
"Afternoon Flight" SOLD
8"x16" Oil on Gessoed Board SOLD
My second painting today. . . I just couldn't resist painting a most glorious sight. . . as I painted, a flock of Ibis "floated" by. It was poetry in motion.
"The Hazards of Plein Air Painting"
My only painting of the day . . . . I worked diligently and with great enthusiasm on this rather "large" plein air painting. I called it a day and started to pack it all up when this wet painting caught a gust and fell over face down in the sand, dirt and grass! All I could do was laugh.
"Approaching Storm Irene Over Charleston" SOLD
All cleaned up and saved from its fall! I was standing on Fort Moultrie on Sullivan's Island looking back toward Charleston Harbor and the Downtown area.
The heavy clouds were the first indicators of Hurricane Irene coming our way. Thankfully she blew on past us but sadly had other plans for our northeast neighbors who have our prayers.

"View From The Oar House at Shem Creek Bar & Grill" SOLD
The Shem Creek Bar and Grill graciously allowed us to paint from their oar house and dock. This view is looking westward up the creek.
September's Charleston Artist Collective them is "Water."
"Two Cats in the Grass" SOLD
Looking down the beach southward, the sun was getting low and the clouds were clearing.
September's Charleston Artist Collective's theme is "Water."
"Storm Warning" at the Sullivan's Island Light House SOLD
A very unique lighthouse indeed, but it was the clouds moving in fast that fascinated me. Located on Sullivan's Island at Station 18 is this iconic lighthouse. The wind was blowing so hard that it moved my hand as I painted! It was tough to make a "strong" and "deliberate" brush stroke. But it was a glorious day to be at work!
"Eva" SOLD
This is an updated or cleaned-up version of the earlier post by the same name. Check out the Charleston Artist Collective for September. The next theme is "Water."
"Charleston Shrimp Boat" SOLD
8"x10" Oil on Linen Panel SOLD
Next month's Theme for the Collective: "Water"
Another view from one of our favorite spots in which to paint: Shem Creek at the Wreck Restaurant. You can see the city of Charleston in the far distance.

"A View For Two II" SOLD
This was painted out at a property next to Fort Moultrie on Sullivan's Island. That is Fort Sumter out in the middle of the Charleston Harbour. The distant land mass is James Island.
