16x20" Palette Knife Daily Painting, "Coastal Collision"

A few years ago, I was in the low country of South Carolina, when I did a photo shoot on the marshes.  I love the look of the marsh when a big storm moves in on it's way to the coast.

595.
When the cool ocean breezes collide with the hot air over the interior of the state,  it produces monster rains.  Usually they are fierce, but short, dropping their rain and moving on quickly.


I like to build up layers of thick paint, with plenty of texture and colors.



When the rains come, you know the long hot summer days are here again.
