I’m currently in Charleston, South Carolina painting for my exhibition on the 27th at Ann Long Fine Art. Here are some of the paintings from the first week.
After the Rain, Broad Street. 12 x 8 in., oil on linen.
Charleston is one of the most beautiful cities in the US. The food is great and the people are all very friendly. It’s a great place to visit and to paint.
White Point Gardens. 8 x 12 in., oil on linen.
Broad Street. 11 x 14 in., oil on linen.
Many of the streets down where I’m working run close to east to west. Combined with the position of the sun this time of year, the north-facing shadows barely change length for the greater part of the day. Which means I have much longer to work on any north-facing subject.
Garden in Charleston. 8 x 12 in., oil on linen.
Sidewalk, Meeting Street. 8 x 12 in., oil on linen.
Longitude Lane. 11 x 14 in., oil on linen.
The weather has been great, very Californian with the cool breeze and warm sun. It has been windy though so many of my paintings are on smaller linen-on-panel boards.
Afternoon Break. 8 x 12 in., oil on linen.
Evening Light. 12 x 8 in., oil on linen.
Church Street Palms. 12 x 8 in., oil on linen.
I have some larger work still in progress and I’ll update when they’re finished. I’m off to the countryside this morning to paint more of the Lowcountry.
Fantastic work Marc, always a treat to see your new paintings. I wish you much joy in your work!
