Girls Just Wanna Paint Show!

"Spanish Moss, Darien, Georgia" 6x6
SOLD

It's transition time for Don and me and the girls. After my fabulous week on St Simon's Island with my painter girlfriends I returned to Naples to pack up our house for the drive home to Marshfield. No small feat for a woman who likes her 'stuff'. So, this morning after days of cleaning and packing and farewelling we hit the road.  
My last painting from SSI is this cottage in charming Darien, Georgia. The local Art Association/historic society there is housed in the old Jail, where I read some incredible stories about Darien's dramatic Civil War years. Fascinating. 
I'm the last one to give up the gang here and name names ;) Here we are after hitting golf balls on the beach coached by Kathy Cousart. 

Kathy, Carol, Me, Kelley & Laurel

Lastly, I will not be home in time to attend the opening of our Girls Just Wanna Paint show at the Helen Bumpus Library in Duxbury but please go and support my homies from 2-4 tomorrow. The show runs through June.

Jekyll Island

Jekyll Island 6x6 oil on board

We arrived on Jekyll Island to humidity and high puffy white clouds which soon gave way to a breeze (thank Heaven) and a sort of overcast sky. 
The result was this minimalist work, photographed with the dust embedded ;) 
If you like this kind of painting check out Stuart Shils website. Click on Irish Oils and then click on the number 4 which is the period I'm referring to. He's since become more abstract, (which I like)  but these early 90's paintings are the first works I saw of his, in a gallery in Boston.
