One of the perks of being an artist is that I can do some pretty great bartering from time to time.
This summer was my best score ever. I traded a week in this great beach house on Pawleys Island, SC in exchange for a three commissioned oil paintings of various sizes.
We’re still finalizing the details and narrowing down the concepts, but once school starts back up again in a few short weeks, this will be the first project I work on. Seeing the photos of this special place has me anxious to get back to work and start creating paintings that capture the magic of the island.
But until then, I’m going to enjoy making some more summer memories, and hopefully capture some more painting inspiration to last me through the winter months of 2012.
This slide show contains just a fraction of all the amazing photos I took while vacation in Pawleys Island, South Carolina during June. How will they ever decide on just three??
HEY… if you own a beach house and want to trade, don’t be afraid to ask! We’re always look for new and beautiful places to visit.
How indeed! There are so many great shots that suit your style so beautifully. I just know which one my boychild would pick without a doubt. That dinosaur door would be calling to him. 🙂 Now if only I had a beach house…
LOL! I never thought about the dinosaur for a boy’s room…. good idea! I’m sure he would have loved the dinosaur art within the house too. 🙂
