Lowcountry Angel

"Protector of Sand Dollars"

I had so much fun painting my angel. I had wanted to paint a Christmas card

again this year but time and indecision of what to paint got in my way!

I woke up in the middle of the night with the thought.... paint the angel!

The angel was in the box of older Christmas decorations that I had decided to donate and perhaps someone could put them to good use. She was in the box because the wreath she had been holding was long gone. She's been around for a while. 

But just before the drop off, I pulled her back, just couldn't do it. 

Then it occurred to me, glue one of fabulous, beautiful, big sand dollars that

I had picked up from Edisto Beach with my grand daughters.  I did and she has been resurrected in my home and is an angel once again. So just like an angel whispering in my ear, she said

paint me!

Every once in a while, I like to post the sequence of how I paint. It's always fun to see how it progresses and almost always, I feel that paintings go through a scary stage where I think, 

oh no, it's going to be a scrapper but if I just keep going, it usually comes together!

So, here she is beginning with a photo of her on my front porch. 

I saved an angel! How often can we say that!

Thinking of warm days and evenings!

Even though it is not as cold in Charleston SC

as the rest of the country or world, it is still colder than what I like!

So, in hopes of warming up

I look at the warm sunset glow and I feel all better and warm!

I had painted a similar palm and sunset about a year ago but I decided to break this one up onto 3 panels that are hung besides each other with a little space in between each panel. A Triptych!

Now, don't you feel warmer?

John Reynolds book “The Fight for Freedom” is John’s personal story that takes him from a plantation in rural Alabama in 1965 (at age 18) to one of the major movements in American history, Civil Rights.  John’s compelling story takes you into the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, SCLC, inner workings. John worked alongside all the key members of the SCLC including Martin Luther King to achieve the desired results of civil rights for all.
