BID ON "MORNING FOG CHROMA" AT THE SAVANNAH UNCORKED! FUNDRAISER

"MORNING FOG CHROMA" 6" X 6" ORIGINAL OIL ON CANVAS
JUST BEFORE THE TURNER'S CREEK BRIDGE THERE IS THIS MARSH SHOW GOING ON ALL THE TIME.  IT IS MORE DISTRACTING THAN TEXT MESSAGING FOR ME.  I AM MESMERIZED BY ITS' MAGNIFICENT CHROMA AND LIGHT. EACH MORNING WHEN I TAKE MY HUSBAND TO WORK I SEE THIS EVER CHANGING VIEW.  I LOVE IT WHEN THE FOG IS JUST HANGING OVER THE MARSH AND IS PATCHY IN AREAS.


I DONATED THIS PAINTING TO BE AUCTIONED ON JUNE 15TH AT A BENEFIT TO SUPPORT THE LIFE SAVING SERVICES AT MEMORIAL HOSPITAL

IN THE MARKET FOR SUNFLOWERS?

IN THE  MARKET FOR SUNFLOWERS?

WHO WOULDN'T LOVE PAINTING THESE HAPPY FLOWERS!

ART IN THE PARK - SUCCESSFUL ENDEAVOR



WHAT FUN!

I have to admit, I was a little skeptical about doing an outdoor show.  I have bad memories of selling watercolors in outdoor shows where the weather was treacherous and my art got ruined.  This show changed my faith in exhibiting outdoors.  It was a lovely group of people.  I sold 9 paintings which always makes it worthwhile.  They had an awesome antique car and motorcycle show at the same venue.  Look for me next year in the Landing Art Association Art in the Park show.

REESE SAYS - ENOUGH ABOUT PAINTING

 
DON'T EXCLUDE ME IN THE CONVERSATION!


REALLY, CAN'T WE TALK ABOUT SOMETHING BESIDES ART!
I KNOW IT'S BEEN A COLD SPRING BUT IT'S TIME TO GO SWIM IN THE LAKE AND PLAY BALL

SADIE AND I LOVE TO SWIM TOGETHER
Reese thinks he can be on my blog now that I told him that Dreama Tolle Perry has Eddie Pierre on her blog all the time.  Even though Eddie has a tail I won't hold it against Reese. Now Reese is nagging me all the time about getting his portrait done.

RED WING ON MARSH

RED WING ON MARSH - ORIGINAL OIL 6 X 12


LUCKY ENOUGH TO SEE THE LIGHT OF THE MARSH BUT LUCKIER TO HAVE A RED WING BLACKBIRD LAND ON IT.  WE HAVE LOTS OF THESE BIRDS IN THE SOUTH AND I LOVE TO SEE THEIR BRIGHT RED FLASH OF COLOR IN THE COASTAL LANDSCAPES.

A PILE OF PELICANS


HAPPY BIRTHDAY RHONDA

This painting was purchased by Rhonda's husband Terry (my first cousin) for her birthday.

The inspiration




The story

Olin and I were in the motor boat passing under the Turner's Creek bridge and there were all these pelicans lined up on the bridge pilings.  Of course I made Olin ride by about 20 times to take hundreds of photos just for good measure.  I got this from my dad.  Each time we rode by their heads followed us.  It was such a site.  I painted the painting from several of the photos.  I am very proud to have the painting in their home.
