“Unsettled Energy” and “Water Energy of the Marsh at Hampton Preserve” : A-painting-a-day in oil or pastel series by Charlotte Artist/ Eco Art Girl

#69 working towards the 100 mark and just another painting a day posts on this Mother’s Day. This is the result of experimenting over an old image I was not satisfied with so I entitled it “Unsettled Energy.” I could very well change it again- that is what often happens when painting with your intuition.

“Water Energy of the Marsh at Hampton Preserve, Georgia”

Using soft sennelier pastels on belgium linen museum grade wallis paper, this is an example of the art that keeps me going. Lots of blue and lots of water! I have included it on my website; www.rlistudios.com

Framed size is 22″ x 28″

 ECO ART OF THE CAROLINAS THEME born out of inspiration…..

 surfaced with my belief in preserving the beauty and health of the environment. My appreciation of the natural beauty in nature was born in my youth when I admired the mists rising off of the Appalachians and grew from my travels. I am drawn to paint landscapes, marshscapes, seascapes often of wild lands and often including water imagery. My primary interest is in the ecosystems that represent change between the land and sea, including marsh environments and mangrove forests. I hope via my website to promote awareness of the dynamics that thrive in these fragile ecosystems. I hope you like it so far. Art represents a vehicle of change for me and thus, my art will forever change. 

Thanks for viewing!

Environmental wealth is paramount 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 still is an abundance of land and special places which provides great fuel for a working artist, and we must be consciously diligent to protect that! Support the environmental group of your choice. I believe in the Natural Resources Defense Council and Audubon to name a few. I never grow tired of images such as these to paint.
