Edisto Dunes


Edisto Dunes
4x5
oil on canvas panel


This is one of the smalls in Palmeto Moon Gallery.

The shadow at the top of the photo is cast by the frame.  I just
cropped it out for this post.


For the oil painting artists who read this blog(by the way, thank you):  I have been experimenting
with a folded paper towel, slightly wet, put in the middle of my palette before closing it up.
I have one of those "tupperware-like" palettes. 

I find that it is working.  Even the earth colors which dry the fastest are still moist after 2 days.

Edisto Island


Day, Edisto Island
6x8
oil on canvas panel
sold




I was fortunate enough to be invited to stay in a vacation house
at Edisto Island--close to Charleston, SC.

There were 2 other painters there and we painted and we painted and
we painted!  Great fun.

The weather was dreary except for one day.  On that morning I took
176 photos--wish I had taken more.

I also have a new gallery--Palmetto Moon Gallery--the only gallery on the island.

I meant to post this on Valentine's Day, but......I"m sure you know how it is, so many chores and
appointments.  I wish I could just stay home and paint all day.

Work in progress--2 paintings



I've been painting on larger canvases all week, but have finished nothing.
Tomorrow is a good painting day for me (meaning no other things I have to do) and
I hope to tackle them both.
