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!

One evening, after leaving the gallery downtown, the sunset glow on the buildings

was just beautiful! So with my phone, I snapped a photo and knew 

that it would be a painting one day.

This is a large one for me, 24 x 30.  

It took me 2 days just to draw it out! And many more to paint.

Farm House

I started this painting with my friend James Pratt at Bacco Restaurant

here in Charleston last week. We had a group of us painting together and

enjoying a fabulous Italian lunch!

Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time to finish my Alla Prima

painting there so I brought it home and finished it in my studio. 

Made a few changes and gave it a little pop.

A simple scene yet so warm and inviting.

Don't you think?

I was looking at this painting while in the gallery the other day

and thought..... hmmm.....

The palm trees really are behind those buildings that really are just drab

and plain back side of the buildings that really are there.....

But I think that the painting will be more interesting if I move the palm trees!

So, I did. I uprooted the palms and replanted them to be in front of the buildings.

I like it much better. What do you think?

That is "artistic license"!

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.

While I was away in Italy, one of my little birdies has flown away to a new home.

This little gem of a painting shows him trying to hide from me

but he was captured in a photo lens 

and put on canvas.

Thank you!

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!

New (new to me!) easel for my studio!

Ok now, isn't this cool?

We like to frequent estate sales every now and then.

Recently we went to one where the seller was an artist and look what I found!

This was such a deal and so cool to have in my studio. I walked in and saw it and knew it 

would be great for me. It is the kind with a crank to raise or lower the easel. 

And it's on wheels! 

It does have paint on it and is old but it has such great character

and I'm thrilled to have it!
