LIFE IS GOOD!

LUCKY ME!  LIFE IS GOOD!  I was awarded a South Carolina State Park Residency at Cheraw State Park.  In exchange, one of my paintings will be donated to the park.  Cheraw State Park is South Carolina's oldest park and largest park.  It is also home to the endangered cockcaded woodpecker.  Here are some pictures from the great trip.

This painting is dedicated to my friend Ellen Fishburne Triplett, who always encourages me to make each painting special.  We have a comfortable friendship that is nestled with love and encouragement.

A lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Challenges are posted weekly here.  Take a look at my entries for this week.

Both are 5x7 oils.
