Sullivan's Island Beach Path 8x10 oil on gatorboard

soldThis is another one of my favorite places on Sullivan's Island. I can't tell you how many times I've walked this path. Its beauty never fails to captivate. Available on http://www.charlestonartistcollective.org/

Heirloom Tomatoes 6x8 oil on gatorborad

SOLD
 This little painting was a joy to paint. I felt like I was in the zone and really just paid down color in a very deliberate way. It ended up looking much more realistic thatn I thought it woild or even intended!

Better Days 16x16 oil on board

I just had to try my luck at an Airstream. I loved the way the light was hitting the scene and tried to capture it from a photo. I was pretty happy with it overall.

St. Michael's Church 16x16 oil on board

SOLD
I have an courious and inexplicable attraction to churches. This one is in the heart of downtown Charleston. The bells were chiming and the sun was hitting the side of the steeple in such a striking way on the afternoon I painted it. It was a lovely site to see and hear.

Wellfleet Dune 16x16 oil on board

SOLD
 This is one of my favorite places in the world. It is in Wellfleet Mass. at the Beachcomber Restaurant
  and bar which overlooks this fantastic beach. We have spent many a summer day climbing up and down this monstrous dune.

Rocks, Sand, Water 8x16 oil on board

SOLD
This is what I see every morning when I walk my much loved dog Stewey. I thought it deserved to be honored with a painting. I like the straightforward simplicity of it. It was purchased by one of my favorite yoga buddies.

Jaguar XKE and Flower 8x16 oil on board

What can I say? Still lifes can get boring. You have to mix it up and have fun.
price: 275.00

Ashem Plantation; Color Reflections 8x16 oil on board

SOLD
Another painting from the Ashem property. This was so much fun to paint. I really just looked at shapes and color and laid them in and did not olook back. It was purchased by a dear friend. Thanks Janny

Ashem Plantation; Upriver 11x14 oil on Gatorboard

SOLD
What a magical place this was to paint. Ashem Plantation is in Charleston SC and is now owned by Charleston County Parks. The Lowcountry Open Land Trust held the property and sold it to the county -- a deal that had the blessing of its former longtime owner, the late Emily Ravenel Farrow. Thanks you Elizabeth, for inviting us to paint here. It was unforgettable!

My Pool 8x16 oil on board

SOLD
This painting was bought by a friend at the Charlestonartistcollective.org live show. He said it reminded him of David Hockney. Thanks Rob. That is high praise! I ended up taking the ladder out and it actually really improved the painting (thanks Ian). I dont have a photo of the improved version though.

Dreaming 16x16

SOLD
 This idea for a painting actually came to me in a dream. The style is much tighter that I usually paint. Its more like I painted 15 years ago. I think its about feeling your limits and accepting them but still wondering about the possibilities. price 550.00 unframed.
