The Low Country
This painting is a commission i did for my friends Janie and Chogie. We went to high school together in Ky and Janie and I went to Nursing School, graduating with enough learning to make us dangerous. At the time, every disease we studied we developed.
Since 1967 we have only seen each other a few times. Two years ago Chogie contacted me and flew me to St Louis to attend Janie's 60th birthday party. Since then we have maintained contact and in March they came to St Pete to visit. Janie likes solitude.
This painting reflects her love of nature and quite places to contemplate.
It is of my memories of the Low Country in South Carolina, Beaufort and St Helena's Island. It is on watercolor paper.
