Adventures in Charleston.

A few weeks ago I took Winnie to the Charles Pinckney heritage site, which is located over by Boone Hall Plantation. It's a really beautiful little park with some interesting history thrown in - and best of all it's free. There's lots of gorgeous sprawling oaks, evergreens, and inspiration for new paintings.

I'm guessing that's a deer stand?

I also went and checked out the new art exhibit at the Charleston Library downtown. I appreciate what the artist was doing, but I feel like this is an example when color makes such a difference. (And something I desperately need work on) His colors seem so harsh to me...but maybe that's the point? When I think of Charleston landscapes I imagine soft, dreamy colors.
