Rainbow Row - Charleston, South Carolina

Hi Seth! Me too. It IS a beautiful place. Always thought I would love to live there. Thank you for such a special comment.

Thank you very much Blended. What a nice comment. I have always wanted to illustrate, but have never had the chance. Thank you so much for your support Dear.

Hello George, and thank you for that “superb” comment. Wow. Your visits are always so welcomed.

Oh, thank you Hidemi! First, I did a freehand ink drawing, then I scanned it into a software program called Corel PhotoPaint…..and then used the programs’ digital paintbrushes and color fills for the color.

Thank you Lore! I really appreciate your sweet comments. Thanks for taking a look at my work.

Hi Jim! Thank you for such a very lovely comment. I am sure your graphic art background is much grander than mine, but I have done some freelance graphic work for business friends and worked for a small design company for a short period. But my great love is fine art. Charleston IS a lovely city…….we are just two diehard Carolinians. Have a great arty day my friend

I do too Orla. I have a bunch of nibs ( old pen…old nibs ) which I have let get yucky,....haven’t used them in so long. But they are great. Ink flows beautifully. Thanks for the wonderful comment.

Have you been having that trouble too? Really, I think some works from my watchlist are falling through the cracks, or else I just haven’t gotten real used to the new format yet. PhotoPaint is a software program whereby you open up a file. photo or drawing and you can manipulate it in all sorts of artistic ways. It’s Corel’s version of Adobe PhotoShop. I just scanned in the basic freehand ink drawing and put the color in in PhotoPaint. You would enjoy it Lynda. It’s fun to “muck” around with. Did I use that word right? Thanks dear gal for the sweet comment. Hugs.

Thank you Michael for your really nice comment. Charleston is a beautiful city….lots of history. Was your brother living there when Hugo hit?Very sweet of you to give him a heads up on my drawing. You’re too kind. Take care my friend.

Thanks Colin. That is exactly the way I see it too. When I finished it, I looked at it, and it reminded me of my comic book days in the “fifties”. What a long long time ago.

Hi Bev! You are really sweet to say that. It takes some real math and ruler use to get things just right ( or do it in the computer )....but I sure didn’t do that with this one. The perspective is way off. I just did this quickly and didn’t bother to be exact. From our vantage point the buildings should really not be so squished as you see them here…..but as you can see, I didn’t worry myself too much with it. :) Is this a new painting you haven’t finished yet? I don’t want to miss it. Thanks Bev…Always look forward to your visits.

It’s the gal with the pretty name! Thank you Shanina for such a lovely comment….and yes, you must come. Just a hop, skip and a jump from the Gold Coast. Aren’t computers wonderful :O

Awwwww Colin, you are just a youngster! You are so sweet….thanks for the fav.

Uh-huhhhh….:)

uh-huh….been there….big change from Charleston. :)

Thank you so much Blended. You say the nicest things. Always appreciate your comments.

I know what you mean. I struggle with it too sometimes.The perspective is really way off in this drawing. The buildings should not look so close together from our view. But, thanks for your kind comment.
