Corner of Church And Broad Streets

is still on display at 

South State Bank's

2104 People's Choice Exhibit

Occasionally.... I photograph my progress in a painting

and do so successfully enough to create a video.

This is a short 2 minute plus video of my progress on this painting

including my trials, tribulations, mistakes and successes!

Sometimes, paintings just flow from my fingers.

Other times... well let's just say that 

it can be quite an effort!

Enjoy!

Great Blue Heron

Great Blue Heron

oil on gallery wrap canvas, unframed

4 x 12

While I was contemplating the larger heron painting

I decided to tackle a smaller version without trees.

This little gem of a painting is great for that little spot on the wall as it is only 4" wide.

But in doing this painting, it helped me to get my composition right

for the larger version with trees. 

This is the blue heron that was trying to hide from us!

Little did he know, that we shot him!

With the camera that is and he has made some great inspirations for me.

He was in flight a few seconds before this little stop in the shallows

so I'm hoping to capture his flight on canvas soon!

To "watermark" paintings on the web.... or not?

Purchase Info

Part of our marketing process is posting images of our artwork. But many artists are worried 

about their art being "stolen". It happens a lot and hopefully not so that someone can print off 

a print and pirate it. I would think it's ok to copy an image if you (an artist) would like to keep a sample of other artists work for reference or as a learning tool.  We, as artists are generally very sharing about that. That can be done watermarked or not. 

So.....the question remains. 

Do we, as artists, plant a watermarked notice on our image so that it

can't be copied for printing purposes or do we just hope that the image

is poor enough quality that it just won't work? 

 

What are your thoughts? As an artist? As an art collector?

Ocean Sunset

Still on the acrylic kick but just for a bit! After my last work with Wild Flowers, I really liked the colors and movement so I decided to work a bit with the same color scheme but with a sunset over water look. 

Ocean Sunset is acrylic on canvas, size 9.6 x 7 inches.

This painting is on view at Studio 151 Fine Art Gallery in Charleston.

Lowcountry Sunset, SC

Pin It

My latest painting, Lowcountry Sunset, SC is my version of the fabulous view of the Toogoodoo Creek and marsh across the way from where I live. The sun changes, then the water colors change, the birds fly and the marsh glows in the late afternoon sun. This version was created from the colors that magically appear in the late afternoons during late fall! I painted this scene with a limited palette of Cobalt Blue, Permanent Rose, Hansa Yellow, Hookers Green and Quinacridone Burnt Orange and on Arches 140lb watercolor paper.
Here is a photo though this does NOT do the actual view justice! But it is one of my inspirations for Lowcountry Sunset, SC.
