MOON LIGHT SERENADE

I felt like painting it to portray a more romantic mood!

PAINT ALONG WITH KAREN

It was a beautiful Autumn day in the Low Country where Karen, Jayne and I went to paint the beautiful colors of the marsh.
We both admire Karen's painting techniques so we asked if we could paint along with her. This is the result of that wonderful and fun experience. Thank you , Karen, it was fantastic!

FISHING ON THE TALLULAH RIVER

Sand dune at Harbor Island

no bugs!

LOW COUNTRY MARSH

As my friends and I sadly left Harbor Island to
return home, we pulled off the road by a fish camp
to take just a few more photos. This is a painting
of the marsh before we went across the bridge
to Beaufort, S.C.

THE GONDOLA RIDE, VENICE, ITALY

JACK IN THE PULPIT

SERENITY IN BLUE

"If you see a tree that is blue, paint it blue."
Paul Gauguin

I thought I would take Gaugin up on his quote and painted this
landscape using mostly shades of blue. I found that the color blue gave the painting a beautifully serene feeling and by using a touch of warm colors in the foreground the painting took on a warmer feeling.
