The summer storms come every afternoon right now. They come fast, rain hard, thunder and lightening and then it is beautiful afterwards. Today, the dark clouds hovered behind the tree line... must have been storming in Seabrook! Not a drop here! But the sun was starting to set and the afternoon sun glow was on the marsh.

5 x 7 oil on canvas panel, painted en plein air, unframed
Today is a typical hot summer day in Charleston, though there was a great breeze on the dock! I sat out there and painted my neighbor' dock. I titled it Bobby's Dock though it's owned by 2 families. It was about noon and the sky was a light hazy blue and it was close to high tide.

July Sunset, Oil painting Charleston SC

Pin It
July Sunset July 15, 2015
One of my special studio paintings from the 
5 x 7 oil on panel, Framed. A special studio painting!
On this night, we kayaked out into the marsh at high tide. It was a beautiful and peaceful time. 
The summer nights are still long and the tide was perfect. 
When we got back to the dock, the clouds were glowing in pinks, purples, yellow and the marsh grass 
was aglow as well. I ran in to grab my camera. Definitely a Toogoodoo 365 painting but also a special studio one.  I have been struggling with a different painting and I was able to redeem myself with this one. 
Plus it was the first time I was able to use my new easel!


iPhoto image that I used as a reference.


My new wall easel! It gives me so much more room in my tiny studio. 
I've got NEW inspiration!

Hazy Morning

July 13, 2015, Hazy Morning

5 x 7 oil on canvas panel, unframed
This morning, there was a cloudy haze across the creek, almost fog like but not quite. But wait, there's no smog out here, so yes, it was fog. By the time I set up to paint en plein air, it was almost 10 AM and most of the foggy haze was gone except for the way back of the field. The summer greens were starting to brighten up and the birds came out.
