"Deep South" A glimpse into the marshland of the Low Country

"Deep South"

10 x 10", oil on canvas

Available for purchase. $250 click here.

A combination of palette knife and brushes were used to create this high energy landscape. You can imagine all the life scurrying beneath the grassy marsh and the gurgling water as the tide rises. I created this painting by means of using only my memory to explore light, color, composition and subject. Usually I use photos that I take for reference, I think these photos are important in my process but it is encouraging to know that my memory is strong and able to create. If you love to paint you may also enjoy art classes from online colleges.

Just behind this grassy dune is the Atlantic Ocean. I love the dunes of Seabrook Island, SC they are full of thick vegetation and wildlife it is a spectacular site before stepping over to the ocean.

Indian Paintbrush on the Missouri by Marissa Vogl

I live in South Carolina but my heart will always be Montana. This painting is a view of the Missouri River and the highway that runs through the steep canyon walls. I added red flowers in honor of the Indian Paintbrush found all over Montana. It once was an endangered flower, it still might be I am not sure. It is one of my favorite wildflowers of Montana.

These small daily paintings are many things to me. They push me to "just paint", they are a way for me to study color combination and the way the stroke of the pallete knife or brush affects the painting dynamic. This particular painting started out with a Red Oxide wash which is a translucent paint color that allows for a lot of depth when I allow the oxide to show thru the paint. I then mix the majority of my colors I plan on using before I begin painting. This way I can study the affects of the colors together on my pallete before applying to the actual painting. Using only a pallete knife to apply color I am able to get a lot of texture and movement in the paint that adds to the interest of my work.
