"thankful" 9"x12" pastel on Pastel premier 400
sunrise…a new day begins…
There is something that draws me to the oceanside - no matter the season. It calms me. It slows me down and I take time to SEE and FEEL my surroundings. The crash of the waves, the sand and the shells, the low country marshes and the wildlife. The sky and atmosphere - soft and cool in the morning, warm and bright in the evening. The humidity in the air softens the edges of the shapes I see. There is so much there for me to paint and enjoy. I thought it would be good to gather all my paintings from the last few weeks after my recent trips to Edisto SC and St. Simons GA. Most are done from reference photos that I took. But photos don't always tell the truth. So with my memories, notes and reference photos - I painted from my heart.

The first day arrived……
Edisto GA
Botany Bay Plantation on Edisto SC
St. Simons and Jekyll Island GA
And I end with a sunset, that we watched most evenings…….
I hope you enjoy my paintings
