"EDISTO BEACH"

5 X 7 palette knife oil painting on panel

framed 3" gold frame

Edisto Beach is very close to our home south of Charleston.

It is our favorite beach to walk at.

Quite often, we are the only ones there! Of course, in the summer... it s packed!

On this day, the clouds were big and boisterous with the threat of a summer shower. 

The tide was going out and the cloud reflections on the wet sand were magnificent.

This is the second painting of Girl On The Beach.

The first one I did on a 5 x 7 panel

using a palette knife.

This one is on a linen panel and I used my brushes.

So the image is the same but the texture and finish have completely different looks.

Here is the other version.

Which do you like?

This one is also framed in a 3" gold frame though it's not shown.

I had so much fun painting this guy!

Throwing a cast net is definitely a 

"lowcountry" thing

and by the looks of it....

he's got the throwing thing down!

May his net always be full of the bounty the sea has to offer!

oil on panel, framed

What a glorious day it is when I get to walk on the beach.

The clouds, the water, the sand are always, always a 

different story.... or a different painting waiting to be!

And as always, there is the artist's interpretation.

Soft billowy clouds full of color just 

bouncing around the waves.

A little gem! I snapped a photo of this couple walking on the beach with 

their 2 dogs but felt that only 1 dog fit the scene.

A peaceful setting, a walk on the beach.

One of my most favorite things to do!

One of the pleasures of living close to the beach.

Another coastal treasure. When I saw this boat buoys hanging off 

a tree, I had to paint them. I did years ago, in watercolor, which you can visit on my website.

But I wanted to do them again! With oils in my palette knife technique.

A fun, vibrant painting!

These little birds have so much character, I just love painting them!

These adorable little birds have such an attitude! 

I can just imagine what they have to say to one on the left.

The little birds are so colorful with their bright orange beaks and "bald" heads. Love them!

This painting is a great little companion for

Royal Terns.

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.

Painting in Hawaii

Pin It
We had a wonderful trip to the islands of Molokaii and to the big island of Hawaii. I was lucky in that we had planned a lot of "down" time which meant tons of reading, walking on the beach and yes, painting! I was more organized with painting supplies this trip and took a minimal packet and lo and behold, it was my most successful painting time while on a trip! Goes to show you, that I didn't really need all that "stuff"!
I painted several beach scenes and practiced with skies and water and sand...... and on Hawaii, near Kona, this historical cottage was on the beach and was just calling me to paint! I did a couple of plein air versions there and once at home, I took my sketches and made a final one.
This is the Eva Parker Woods cottage on the grounds of the Mauna Lani Resort near Kona.
