"Charleston Waterfront Park, East Bay St" - oil - 8x10 - © Marc R. Hanson '09
It's really cold here again so I'm posting a memory from November of a beautiful warm day in Charleston, SC.
This is the only painting that I did while there for the New Orleans Show at Coleman Fine Art. Well, this one and the one that I painted in the park paint out that was auctioned for to benefit the Charleston Public School Arts programs. This one was on my own inbetween events.

you are such a light catcher marc!
BEAUTIFUL painting, Marc! So calm and peaceful.
Very nice work Marc. The composition, light and colours are thrilling. I love it.
Hi Rob. "Light Catcher".. I like that. It's sort of like "Painter of Light" but probably wouldn't get me sued.
Thanks for your comments Rob.
Thank you Ed. Very cool place to paint.
Fawzan... I appreciate it. It was a nice light to paint, one that did sparkle. In fact, this is funny, one painter I know doesn't believe me that I didn't use "sparkle" paint, what ever that is? I think that they meant iridescent paint. Might be worth a try.
Thanks.
So beautiful. I love the way you painted the shaded side of the building against that sky. In a few days my husband and i are leaving our homestate of Nebraska and moving to Greenville, SC. I'm excited about all the new scenes to paint there.
Thank you Jacki. Wow! What a change that will be for you two. A warm one too!!! Nice. Good luck with the move and your 'new' subject matter. I love the color in the SE.
I agree with rob ijbema - a light-catcher! What a great nickname!
Marc,
Received my Feb. Southwest Art magazine. You have a nice nocturnal painting included with the other artists.
I think i have mentioned this before, but once again, I like your use of purple in the shadow areas. It really makes a big difference. It is refreshing to see a nice sunny water-side painting. It seems like it is going to be awhile before we see that around here. Great work.
*comes out of lurking*
Hi Marc,
I still have(and treasure) the signed issue of "Plein Air" magazine you sent me in...2005!
One of these days I'm going to have to rustle up some dollars to buy one of your paintings before they get beyond my means. I've coveted your work for as long as I've seen it. lol
Speaking of "sparkle paint" you might like to try the "optical white" paint and other products found here... http://store.studioproducts.com/Paints-p-1-c-257.html
You wont find anything better anywhere.

Darn, spelt Chameleon wrong. lol

Hi Anonymous... Thank you for stopping in and mentioning the SW Art feature. I just got mine a few days ago. They did a nice job.
Robin... Thanks. It is getting warmer, but not that warm! Good to hear from you. How's the painting coming along?
Eugene!!! There you are... Nice to hear from you, been some time.
Just to let you know, I'll email you too, I've removed the block.
For those wondering what we're talking about, I've been getting spammed here by a commercial shoe sales business. I've spent many late hours trashing their comments, an ad, on almost all of my blog posts. So I decided to eliminate the ability of anyone without a google account from posting. However, several of the posters don't want to have to sign on to google, I call them g'oops'le, I understand that. It can be a hassle.
Then I realized that the spammer has a goopsle account...oh well.
What an amazing painting! Reminds me a little of Edward Hopper's style. It's really lovely.
