One of my special studio paintings from the 

Toogoodoo 365 Series

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!

Construction of a lowcountry angel!

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!

Through The Fog

Oil on canvas

I've been painting boats a lot lately. This one started out like some of the others 

BUT sometimes they just take on a life of their own!

As I was painting this sailboat, I envisioned an early morning mist or fog

with sailboats in the background and one beautiful red lady

stepping forward through the fog.

Row, Row, Row Your Boat!

Oil on panel

8 x 24

This is my latest painting and yes, am working on another.  Not too much painting going on this summer.  So I am ready to get back to work in my studio and start the painting frenzy again.

I do believe that when I am in a painting frenzy, I do paint better!

So I will be joining in the 30 day painting challenge to get me geared up and into a frenzy. 

Row, Row, Row Your Boat is from a photo I took many years ago while visiting a little seaside town. These lovely little boats all lined up right next to some huge yachts. Of course, these little cuties caught my eye. So, what took me so long to paint them?  Just found the photo again and said, 

"Oh yeah. I've wanted to paint this since we were there!"  

Someday finally came. 

This is a palette knife painting I did with a few little brush strokes here and there. 

Still working on adding it to the website so in the mean while, for more info, just email me!

Thanks and look for more new and exciting work from me while in my "frenzy"!
