Happy Hour and Giving Thanks

Happy Hour

Pelicans sitting on the swim platform 

of a boat waiting for the fishermen to

throw them a bite from the day's catch.

At the end of a fishing trip offshore with my husband and friends,

we returned to the dock at Shem Creek where the restaurants offer

a happy hour for the clientele after a day's work or fishing,

the pelicans also gathered for their day's end treat!

I would like to wish you all a very
Happy Thanksgiving
May you be with family, friends
or even someplace special by yourself,
this is a time to reflect and give thanks.
I have many things to be grateful for.... my family FIRST
....my ART and the pleasure it gives me and to my collectors
.... and for the many times ahead of us.
Like the pelicans waiting on the platform above,
may your days be filled with the things that give you pleasure
and may you be ready to catch the next thing thrown your way!
Happy Thanksgiving

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!

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!

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?

A typical scene from Tuscany! Along the roads, there will be hill

after hill with farm houses after farm houses and

vineyards after vineyards!

Rolling hills, vineyards and wild flowers....

all for good wine! 

And cheese!

And breads!

And 5 lbs!

I just love these little birds. Royal Terns.

And they do have a royal attitude!

I've painted several scenes similar to this before

but this composition is one of my favorites!
