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.

PLEIN AIR WORKSHOP WITH ROBERT ISLEY

Last week I had the unique opportunity to take a plein air workshop from Robert Isley.  We painted for two days at Skidaway Island.  It was such a pleasure to take from such a humble kind and so very talented artist.  I have admired his work for years.  This was offered through the Landings Art Association.  They are a very talented group of artists and have so much to offer.  I encourage any artist to join this group.  You can view their website here:

Now if it would just quit raining here I could go out and paint!

DEEP SOUTH REGATTA

Well this is another act of love and labor.  Last weekend we went out on our sailboat and watched the Deep South Regatta. Found out it was much smoother to photograph from the sailboat than the motorboat. Each year for 57 years the International Lightning Class has held the Deep South Regatta at the Savannah Yacht Club.  It is the first of three races in the Southern Circuit.  My father in law helped start this regatta.  This is the boat my husband and his family grew up sailing.  My husband competed in the World's twice in this boat.  Many fond friends and memories.  Each year I photograph these great boats and the colorful show they put on.  I must have thousands of photos by now but I still can't resist taking them and painting them. You will see many paintings of mine with these boats.  It is rumor that this was their last trip to Savannah but I hope not.  

We will surely miss them.

We have discovered that although Reese is a great sport about boating, he will never be a hunting dog.  He heard the cannon fire from the race committee boat to start the races and he stayed below in the cabin most of the day. At this point he is venturing out from his hole.
