South Carolina Low Country Marsh

'Another Quiet Morning' 8x10 pastel
I am anxious to paint a larger marsh painting or to try one in oils. Maybe Sunday will be a good day to try one. This is the painting I did for the demo at our open studio sale last weekend. It is on Pastelbord which I am really enjoying. I am also enjoying the new computer I got this week! My computer was older and so slow sometimes and my monitor had to be at least 10 years old...a big old dinosaur. But I didn't want to get a flat panel because my cat Ceara liked to lay on top of it. But I finally gave in. She did try to jump up on the new monitor but I caught her mid-jump. I hope she forgives me but I am loving this 22 inch widescreen!

This is such a beautiful landscape. I thought it was oils till I read up the description. You are really a master of pastels.

This is absolutely beautiful! I'm love your palette here. It's not often that I'm drawn to landscape paintings since I'm a still life artist, but this one really captured my interest! The looseness of the strokes and subtle textures add to its beauty! Excellent! Jeanne
