September Sunset

5 x 7 

palette knife oil painting on panel

The sky just lights up in the fall and even though it is still summer in September, 

the sky is showing it's beautiful colors already. 

My friend, Anne took a photo for me from our dock since I didn't have my phone with me. 

The sky was awesome with pinks and light purples and the water was alive with the sky colors. 

Many of my small paintings are palette knife paintings on panels which is what this one is

and I often use these smaller paintings as studies for 

larger brush or palette

knife paintings.

Here is the reference photo I painted from.

The marsh greens were vibrant and the trees were

a deep green on this mid summer day.

The clouds were building quickly as they do

in the summer storm season.

Within a few moments of this,

that purple cloud burst into a 

refreshing

summer storm!

This is one I did about a year ago and I decided to update the sky.

Prior to the "sky redo", the clouds were a bit grayer.

I do like the softer clouds.

It's a gray, rainy day in the lowcountry! 

The sky is gray and the dark summer greens of the trees are obscurred by the rain. 

The dock across the creek sits in low tide with the floating dock in the mud. 

You would think the marsh would fill up with all this rain!

The last pier at the marina is Pier I. 
These sailboats are all lined up. 

This version is a palette knife painting and I simplified the background 

a bit to give more emphasis on just the sail boats!

The sunrise this morning was vibrant yellow, red and purple 

and the creek water glowed with the same colors. 

I painted this from a photo I took at 6:42 AM!

I was not quite awake enough at that hour to actually paint!

Charleston is such a charming city! If you get a chance to walk

around downtown, you will notice the great architecture, iron gates

and the charming shuttered windows and flower boxes.

They are especially spectacular in the spring and summer 

but many homes decorate year round.

Recently, I was walking around and even though this is a window

I have painted before, it always looks different....

depending on the time of year and flowers in bloom.

Today, the flowers were lush and colorful!

Summer Storm, July 22, 2015

The summer storms come every afternoon right now. They come fast, rain hard, thunder and lightening and then it is beautiful afterwards. Today, the dark clouds hovered behind the tree line... must have been storming in Seabrook! Not a drop here! But the sun was starting to set and the afternoon sun glow was on the marsh.

Today is a typical hot summer day in Charleston, though there was a great breeze on the dock! I sat out there and painted my neighbor' dock. I titled it Bobby's Dock though it's owned by 2 families. It was about noon and the sky was a light hazy blue and it was close to high tide.
