I had alot of fun completing this image while attending a plein air workshop that Karen White Chambers taught and hosted at Folly Beach, SC, near Charleston. 

Karen has a 2009 mountain air workshop planned for this year and I highly recommend it; there is something about immersing yourself outside in the elements that studio work cannot give you.

“PALE BLUE MARSH”  above is a really soft image and a fragile symbol of our landscape. It reminds me of calm, light and sunshine –all warm words and images that are evoked via the pastel medium– even with the use of chalky cool colors used in the foreground, meandering through the sloughs and leading to the marshmallow sky. This image not only finds water for me – it holds water, just like the trough depression does for the little critters that live there.

    This is a lovely painting. I live in Mt. Pleasant and paint marsh scenes also. There is something so soothing about the marsh and unlike rivers and streams the water is still.

    I love Blowing Rock and Boone also, you are connected to the two locations I love best.
