Carolina Street Serenade

This street musician has appeared in many of my paintings from South Carolina. On my final day in town he was playing in the park across the street from my hotel. I put some money in his case and did a sketch of him and took a few photos. After I printed a photo of him I saw that his shirt had a "Crosby's Seafood" insignia on it. I was meant to paint him.

Dos Ducks

I love painting water and the reflections on it. Lake Cleone calms me. It has beautiful views, birds and the beach across the small parking area. On my most recent visit I really didn't want to lug around my camera. So I relied on my camera phone and onsite sketches. This painting is a result of the onsite sketches and my trusty camera phone photos.

Shoal Creek 2

A sketch completed on site inspired this painting. I worked on it during gallery duty last weekend. I showed it to Marilyn and told her I wasn't satisfied with it. She said add branches. Thanks Marilyn.

Another study of the ocean surface.
