A Portrait of A "Charleston Child"

I've use a light touch and high key palette of colors in this portrait of a fair haired "Charleston Child."

The subject of the portrait, Miss Ella comes from a family of many southern beauties. I'm glad to have painted her in this stage of life.

"Hazy, Lazy Day" A painting of a Charleston Marsh Creek

This painting of Palmetto Islands County Park in Charleston shows a popular spot for fishing, crabbing, and relaxing.

This day the humidity in the air over the marsh made the trees seem to shimmer in a silver haze. It was a good day to "wet a line", paint a painting, or enjoy the beautiful scenery. It was a "Hazy, Lazy Day" in Charleston.
