I have been out for the past two weeks exploring parts of the east coast that I haven't seen. First, I went to Charleston, SC to see the
American Impressionists Society show at the M Gallery there. It was a spectacular show in a beautiful gallery. I had never been in Charleston before and it was as fabulous as everyone had told me. Southern hospitality at its finest. I think I gained a few pounds but loved every minute of it. I also made a new friend...and award winner,
Za Vue, a wonderful artist. I liked her even before she won the Presidents Award! Even though I had an 8 hour drive the next morning to drive back up to Virginia, Za convinced me to go to the paint out in the morning...at 7 am. I was glad I did. There were dozens of potential paintings all the way to our meeting spot. This is at the Shem Creek preserve before the sun got very high. It's a bit scuffed because it rode in the car for 10 days.
