Last winter we visited Tybee Island, a barrier island between the Atlantic and Savannah, GA. We drove from New England to this winter adventure. Traveling by car means we bring the "stuff" that would not make the cut if flying was involved. For us, that meant our full complement of painting gear came along too.
I've procrastinated in posting these five paintings so I've decided to just share all the images in this one post, sparing you the details. Potentially I would be making things up about the paint outs - since I can't remember a lot of details now that it is months later.
The exception is the painting with the angry looking clouds which was done from a photo I took. We had taken a beach walk and we received alerts on our phones that there was a tornado watch (warning? see, I forget...the worser of the two). It was so dark and stormy looking, and being from New England, we didn't know if it was something to be alarmed about. I took a photo of the swirling clouds and dark water as we raced back to our VRBO - quite a vivid memory! I felt it was worthy of a painting as the photo shot captured the beach, the sky and the water in various "unnatural" shades of green and gray.
