Plein Air Workshop & Art in Park Exhibition, Darien GA

Plein Air Painting in Darien GA - Daryl Urig National Workshop Tour

Everywhere I go I learn as much as much as I give away in my workshops and artistic experiences. Here in Darien Georgia during the week of the Blessing of the Fleet, the blessing of the shrimp boats before they go out for the season had much to share with me.

The fine people of this Georgia town, the friendly visitors from all over the country that would stop by my exhibit. To hear the comments they would make while they enjoyed my art. There is nothing like being in the trenches and learning from real life verses tucked away in a remote excluded studio far from the public. I hope to do more of these shows.

A beautiful line of shrimp boats and assorted boats and views along the waterline inspire me from Darien as does the surrounding area.

“Not all is fun, something’s seem painful as we learn and grow as artists. Like going through a gantlet, feeling like the foolishness is being knocked out from me leaving only what is pure and truth in me and my paintings”.

On returning to Bluffton SC from this trip my paintings where picked up by a very nice gallery on Hilton Head Island SC, The Karis Gallery. Currently on exhibition are two very large paintings, 18 x 55 inches depicting some of my southern experiences.
