I have several posts from the last trip with friends at Folly, so to catch up I will post 4. I paint with my senses from a feeling level so it is not always what my mind sees. Here goes. 
“Day I James Island Marsh”- soft pastel on Wallis paper
This was a beautiful day and we enjoyed using the backyard of the neighbor across the street from our house, which backed up to the marsh.
“Crimson Sky” was next so I will post it below; soft pastel on Canson paper.
“Lookin Within” is below. Soft pastel on Wallis.
And, “Charleston’s Bridge” finally. This day it was SO windy we stayed inside and could not go outside in plein air with our supplies. Used to this occurrence, we set up inside the house and enjoyed each other’s company and many books.
I have 2 more posts from the trip and one directly after but this is it for now- signing off.
I definitely found some energy on this trip. I should have a few more posts soon.
“Eco Art of the Carolinas:” Marshscapes and coastal estuaries pull at my heart so these images fuel my process. More images and information can be found on my website: www.rlistudios.com.
Studio location: 1517 Camden Road in Historic South End design district of Charlotte, NC- by appointment
Thanks for viewing!
Environmental wealth can be seen in my focus “ECO ART OF THE CAROLINAS.” Pastel marshscapes and my oil paintings I hope highlight the natural beauty of marsh views, ocean vistas and coastal estuaries that I am able to capture with a photograph, or recall from memory. I hope to raise the local consciousness about the importance of one of the planet’s most critical natural resources: our coastal marshes and the adjoining coastal waters. This series on the wetlands, what I call “ECO ART,” promotes awareness of the dynamics that thrive in these fragile ecosystems. Wetlands provide essential needs to humanity and it is this message I convey on my website and post on my blog: www.roselynnrlistudios.wordpress.com This energy provided by nature propels my art along. These vibrant ecosystems, the area between land and water support life itself- environmental health and humanitarian health are one and the same. I am grateful there is an abundance of land and special places which provides great fuel for a working artist. I never grow tired of images such as these to paint.
