Inspired by the beach at Seabrook Island in Charleston where the ocean bends and meets the tree line. I tried to capture the warmth of the sun and the cool breeze of the ocean in the fall. I paint with emotion and feeling, this painting is all about the sounds I hear of the ocean.

I am back on track and painting pieces that I enjoy looking at! Whoo Hooo!

Perhaps my dear friend Harold played a significant role in reigning in my painting skills today. Harold was my grandmothers partner and boyfriend who past away this week. Harold was in his 90's and as life  goes on so did Harold. He was not one to complain or feel badly. Harold was battling cancer and made a choice to not have chemo treatments as he did not like how the chemo made him feel. I can only imagine that he was pleasantly pleased with his life and all his accomplishments. For Harold "Father Time" was a part of life that he was willing to accept. I can only hope and pray to be so strong! Harold lived his life as many hope, he picked up his first golf club in his 80's so he could spend time with my Grandmother on the course. I only know bits and pieces of Harold's life but if he were to tell us his story it would be an engaging and amazing novel. I know enough to tell you that I admire, respect and love Harold very much. He is in good hands and great company now.

Part of this challenge is to really explore color within my paintings. I am preparing for my next series titled "Spirit Places" and want to make sure I stay consistent in color when it comes time to paint these landscapes larger. I am focusing on a more neutral color palette which allows me to bring in many different grays. What may look gray and blah on my palette appears purple and warm in a painting. This is by far the hardest part of painting is creating color and knowing when and where to use it. There are things I love about these paintings and things I cannot wait to change once painting on a larger scale. It will be fun to see the comparison in the end.
