Owens-Thomas Balcony

The Revolutionary war hero Marquis de Lafayette spoke from this lovely cast-iron balcony at the Owens-Thomas House in Savannah in 1825. This house was designed by the Englishman William Jay. It is such a delicate lacy structure on the south side of the house.

Blessings to the white virgin flowers-
a serene lady with purest colors and form-
White upon green-
Rounded upon pointed
with parallel prickles-
Keep that soft touch
Keep that innocence at any age
Keep thyself pure

Savannah watercolors

This is a recent work I painted on Isle Of Hope, Savannah, Ga. The neighborhood is located on a bluff and many of the houses are beautiful and surrounded by these picket fences. There is a serene, cozy atmosphere of well-loved homes, old oaks with Spanish Moss, and little dirt road lanes interspersed with modern paved roads.

Ode to Los Robles' inspiration

This painting was inspired by this lily's blooms as it stood so poetically in the dining room of my friends at Los Robles in Savannah. They have a gift for gathering kindred spirits as well as creating surroundings that have offered numerous inspirations for my watercolors. Thank you, dear friends.
