"Intercoastal Wonder"
This is the latest plein air painting with the SIPP group and is the location looking back toward the Ben Sawyer Bridge to Sullivan's Island.
The clouds were magnificent and warm. So was the day! This shot is a little shiney, hope you can make it out.

"Sails & Shrimp" SOLD
Shem Creek is one of our painting group's favorite spots to paint and this day was a spectacular day to be down there. "Sails & Shrimp" wasn't 24 hours in from the framer's to the gallery before it had a "red dot!" Thanks to Karen Hagan of Hagan Fine Art & Studio for finding its new home!

"Spring in the Old Village" SOLD
This Old Village property is a favorite destination that our painting group derives heaps of inspiration. Sally's home and gardens always promise to deliver on beauty and color with each passing season!
I may go in to this a bit more and if I do I will repost so you can see the progress.
"Charleston Bridal Boutique" SOLD
This was painted en Plein Air on location on Church Street of one of the finest Bridal Boutiques downtown; Fabulous Frocks. Its location is so picturesque it begged to be painted.
SOLD at the Hagan Fine Art Gallery & Studio

"All in a Line"
This was the first of two paintings I did while at this location. The tide was higher when I painted this one than in the second painting revealing the tops of the skinny sand bars and oyster beds neatly lined up together.
"Oyster Beds"
Another beautiful day to paint with friends on the creeks of Sullivan's Island. The outgoing tide revealed these "tiny island" oyster beds and I loved the texture it added to the water's surface.
"Cloud Parade" SOLD
The clouds often "show off" for you on coast of the Lowcountry. And this day did not disappoint. The colors were vibrant. The little oyster beds lined up to watch as the clouds passed by with the wind.
"Shem Creek Studio"
One of my dear artist friends with whom I paint is lucky enough to call this little red-roofed cottage her Artist's Studio. The invitation to paint this sweet, quirky iconic Shem Creek shack produced this little guy.
"Beach to Bridge"
This was a quick little plein air painting I did while on the beach at Fort Moultrie on Sullivan's Island. The view reaches across the beach stretching down toward the point of Sullivan's Island facing downtown. Way off in the distance one can see the new Ravenel Bridge.
This was such a quick little "sketch" that I feel it is a bit unfinished. . . if I do anything else to this, I will be sure to repost its image.
SOLD "While on Vacation. . . "
While visiting my husband's childhood home on vacation we stopped to play on the beach and I snapped a few pictures and this one inspired me to paint!

Playing Catch Up! New & Old Paintings
My apologies that I haven't posted my Plein Air Paintings lately. . . 2016 is proving to be a very busy year so far!
The following images are paintings I have painted in various locations around Charleston, SC. One painting is an (unfinished) interior painting from a cold day in February of my friend's beautiful new home. In fact, all of these are "sketches" that are each "unfinished" and those I plan to go back into to finish up. I'll repost as I complete each one.
Thanks for your continued faithful following of my blog and painting posts.
"Creek's Low Tide" 9"x12" Oil on Linen Panel, painted en Plein Air, Alla Prima, on site at the boat landing at Station 26 on Sullivan's Island, SC
I can't wait to finish the lower right corner of this piece. . . I really enjoyed painting this one. It is titled, "New Sanctuary" 9"x12" Oil on Linen Panel, painted on location and all at once (Alla Prima) in my dear friend's new home. . . the sweet peace that you feel in here is so evident and it was my hope that I captured the atmosphere here. The interior's cool, fresh, calm tones against the warm sunlight coming in through the windows captured me! I'll be sure to repost when I complete this painting!

"Portrait of Pepper" NFS
This little one-year-old is such a cutie. . . I asked if I could take her picture so that I might try to paint her pookie little lips and bright, big eyes. This was such a joy for me to work on!

"Symphony of Silence"
Painted from one of my favorite plein air painting sites on Sullivan's Island, SC. It is so calm and so serene at this location. The silence is almost deafening.

"Blaze's Blue Ribbon"
Family pets are precious and important parts of our lives, . . . Blaze gives back with his blue ribbon!
"Together"
These little shorebirds are so cute (and so quick making it difficult to catch on camera!). Each time I visit the beach, I remember to keep the camera or iPhone handy just in case!

"Rascal"
This was a commissioned painting I did of a beloved pet whose health was declining quickly toward the end of 2015. This painting was presented to the dog's "boy" for Christmas and Rascal held on through the New Year but sadly passed shortly after the beginning of 2016. It is comforting to know he was dearly loved and is enjoying "doggie heaven," even now.
