Text Box: I paint both studio and plein air, choosing the subject with emphasis on composition. I feel no need to paint literally but must be honest with the subject chosen to paint. My feelings for the subject (this is what makes the painting yours) need to be considered. In short, I try to make the painting attractive, balanced, and honest through the use of composition, color, value, and edge treatment, always keeping in mind that I will not return with the actual scene but with my interpretation of that scene. The painting then must stand on its own.

Seems Like Sunday

This is one of my favorite paintings because it feels so Southern. The scene is a trawler at Gay's Seafood on St. Helena Island, SC. not far from my brother-in-law's coastal retreat. The area has long been known as 'Frogmore' so I had a wealth of possible titles; but the scene languished in the afternoon warmth and looked so layed back with nothing happening; it just "Seems like Sunday.”  Collection of Mr. & Mrs. Walter Stovall.
