I have been playing with this image for a couple of paintings now.  This feels right to me.  Might be able to put it to rest – then again – one in purple might be next.  You never know!

This is an image from Beaufort, SC.  What a spectacular place.  Always vibrant and inviting.

Lake Murray, South Carolina was my home for 20 years.  I could never get tired of painting it’s colors, atmosphere, and quiet.

There is such pleasure in holding (or painting) a peacock feather.  So brilliantly colored.  The movement of each tendril is beyond compare.  Something so magnificent in such a small package.  It was delightful to paint.

Here’s another one from down home on Sullivan’s Island.  No place I feel more connected to the earth than on the marshes of South Carolina. (Click on image to enlarge.)

Time for some more lemons.  I was thinking of a patron that likes lemons and decided to paint some.  They are so much fun.  Bright color, beautiful form, and eager to receive the light.  Okay, artist off the deep end here – but you see it don’t you?
