These pelicans are here to welcome you all to Charleston and

a special shout out to SEWE visitors!

These pelicans were on a boat at Shem Creek

as they waited for the fishermen to cast off their tidbits (pelican appetizers)

for their own happy hour!

This painting is also featured in the Winter issue, recently released of

The Charleston Style and Design magazine!

This little gull is just having a wonderful lunch 

at the oyster bar!

Lunch special today is oysters, minnows and just about any type of great fresh seafood.

Just so happens to be her favorite spot to reflect on her day!

Great Blue Heron, Hiding in Plain Sight

oil on canvas

ok,ok,ok.... 3rd time is a charm. Right?

Back to the easel this guy went. I enhanced some of his feathers 

and the water ripples around him.

I am leaving him alone and even though he 

thinks he is hiding from me, he's not!

I've got him!

Great Blue Heron in Flight

Great Blue Heron... In Flight

6 x 6 oil on cradled birch panel

This is the same bird from the previous 3 paintings. 

He tried his hardest to get away from us. Bruce was able to catch

him in flight from his perch to his "hiding place". 

He was so majestic in flight

I loved how his wings just showed all the blues, grays and even some pinks!

This was painted on a birch panel that is cradled and doesn't even need a frame! 

Great on the wall as is or on an easel.

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!
