Cupcakes are a theme (and cookies) in my realistic painting journey. I love them! To me, cupcakes are celebrations, fun times, and happy family get togethers. So, here's to the lovely cupcake! 

sunset oil painting

Sunset on Edisto Beach, SC

5" x 7"   oil on board

For several years my sisters and I (and various other family members) have traveled down to SC to an 'other world' place called Edisto Island. We started going there because of family history as we were do family research. When we visited this remote sea island, we fell in love and started coming each October for vacations. 

This is a sunset on the Edisto River Inlet. We would come here at sunset to take pictures and see an amazing light show. Each day was very different, depending on clouds. The more clouds, the better the sunset!  Anyway, this is the view. The wonderful thing about Edisto is that it is an island, so there is a sunrise over the ocean and a sunset. The best of both worlds!

Very moody and dark...I used a very limited color palette. I hope this is the first of many. I put on Pandora and just painted. It's out of my head. I was just on Edisto Island last month for a time after my husband passed away and so I have visions of the low country in my head. It is a dark and dreary day and it fits my current mood of loss.
