Dusk on the Pier - Day 21

"Dusk on the Pier"

#21 of 30

6"x8" oil on canvas pad

$75.00

For this painting, we are still in Beaufort SC.  While we stayed in Beaufort, Steve and I walked all over the town and along its streets filled with shops, galleries and wonderful restaurants.  We drove out to the beaches, drove along the marshes and tried to soak up as much of the town as we could.  This scene was just outside of the main area of town and it was late in the day and shadows were very long.

Donated

     About 1 1/2 years ago, Steve and I spent a long weekend at the vacation home of a patron of mine who used to live in Charlotte but now lives in Beaufort SC.  She wanted a fall scene with the fabulous autumn colors hitting the marshes so we snapped about a hundred photos of various spots around Beaufort.  She loved her autumn marsh scene that I did for her and those photos have given me lots of subject matter for future paintings.

     "Beaufort Marsh" is from one of those many photos.  Recently I was asked by another patron here in Charlotte to donate a painting to a cause she is co-chairing and I have donated this painting to the 60th annual Room to Bloom Celebration which is an annual fundraiser for the Mint Museum of Charlotte.  The silent auction will be held April 17 at Charlotte Country Club.
