Charleston East Battery

Once and awhile, an artist will paint a work of art based on one of my photographs. I can't think of anything more flattering especially when I really like the painting. In this case, Gina Brown painted a scene from East Battery that includes the William Ravenel House.  Isn't it lovely? Visit Gina's blog and her art web site.

I am always tickled when artist Gina Brown paints a picture from one of my photos. Cool, eh!

I mentioned some time ago how flattered I was that artist Gina Brown was using some of my photos as inspiration for her paintings. I loved the idea and was tickled to get a chance to meet her in person during the recent Spoleto Festival. Gina told me that she had left something for me at the Shelby Lee Gallery on Church St. and I walked down there last weekend to see what it was.

Isn't it beautiful? She left the folly beach sunset picture for me, framed and ready to hang. I can't believe my luck. It looks perfect in my living room. Thank you, Gina!

Folly Beach, S.C.

I am enjoying so much the idea that artists are finding inspiration in pictures I've taken. It's even better than being an artist myself!

This is a piece that Gina Brown painted of a sunset on Folly Beach. I remember it clearly because it was an evening last year when my Dad was visiting from Canada. We walked out on the pier after dinner and the colors on the water were incredible.
