"Beach Palms"

  This is the result of a day on the beach in Beaufort, SC with the wind blowing fine sand into everything.  There was a small spot of shade that I kept chasing during the day.  All in all, it was a fun day painting.

"Dancing Light"

This little one was done on site at High Falls, a state park not far from my home. The light moves very fast in the one little spot but I love how the sun hits those rocks.  There are usually fishermen in the area and there is a goose that will eat out of your hand (with a little extra peck).  Today there was a family with kids that put in two canoes it was a great shot but where is the camera when you need it.  Can you feel the peace here?

"Morning in St.James"

This is the second done in the same setting. Two paintings in two and a half hours. That a record for me. Again there is a glare on the right side this time.

'Sunrise after Rain in St.James"

This was so much fun to do!  I had done my homework, so to speak, the day earlier in the rain.  I found this spot at a cemetery on the island of St. James, SC.  Not being much of a morning person the odds of me making the sunrise were up for bets but I showed them and got this beautiful scene.  You have to work quickly to keep up with the sun, what a challenge and fun.  From here I move over a few yards and did another which I will post later.  Hope you can feel my excitement.  There is a bit of glare on the photo in the left upper sky area, I'm working on better photos.

"Gold and Scarlett"

I love fall colors so in the spring what do I paint??? Fall, go figure the workings of great minds. This is from a park in my area. Dauset Trails has these bold tree colors that I can't resist. Hope you enjoy.
