I just returned from a wonderful week-long plein air painting trip to Hilton Head, South Carolina. We immersed ourselves (somewhat literally---my first kayaking experience) in an attempt to learn about the marshes' plants and sea life. I found it to be fascinating. The wildlife, the terrain, and the landscape are all so very different from anything we have here in the Midwest. Painting the marshes was a challenge because they change so frequently with the tide and the light. It took some getting used to. I will continue to practice now that I am home.
