The Glow 12 x 16″ oil on panel, framed by the artist

The Glow depicts that moment when the sun aligns low in the sky, just before dusk. It is the golden hour on Charleston’s Waterfront Park. The live oak lined walkway invites us into The Glow, attracting us like a rainbow. But here there is gold at the end. This was one of three plein air paintings I made during the first annual Charleston Plein Air Competition, sponsored by the Mary Martin Gallery, featuring 100 artists from all over the U.S. It was a glorious time to be in Charleston.  I started this on location and finished it in studio. Here is a lovely remembrance for those enchanted by this beautiful city. I invite you to bask in The Glow.
