When I had my workshop here in November there where so many nice people to meet and works with as painters. We had a cold day for the south and enjoyed painting behind the Bluffton Oyster Company, on Wharf Street. 
It was a painters dream. Instructing the Plein-Air Workshop I chose the huge mound of oyster shells with the boats behind and the gear in front.
Lighting is everything, and you especially learn so much about color and how it changes at different places in the hemisphere when you do plein-air. At this time of year you could see how the blue of the sky permeated everything and how the golden colors of the landscape tried to compete with this.
Here is the final painting I painted back in my studio based on my plein-air observations and studies.
11 x 14 inches, oil on panel
