Storm over Bluffton
Posted: March 27, 2018 Filed under: Uncategorized 30 CommentsLast week during a workshop demo, we were gathered on a wide screened porch, watching the swirling clouds over Bluffton. It was the opportune moment to paint skies. But as I painted, the storm got closer and closer. I continued to paint — a bit too absorbed in painting the palms to realize that it was getting darker and darker — until I could barely see my paper or the colours on my palette. I have a good chuckle when I look at this now, remembering the clever student who discreetly slipped away and came back moments later with a tiny flashlight that she held over my head so I could finish the demo. I am very grateful for her resourcefulness.
beautiful result and glad you are safe )
Thanks!
I like the soft, loose sky behind the crisp solid foreground.
Wonderful as usual.
Many thanks Tim.
Beautiful picture!
Thanks Denise.
Shari, I have been a fan of your work since I found you on-line. I think your work is PHENOMENAL! What a fantastic sky. You captured the mood so well. I could see myself running for cover as the storm is approaching. Great sketch.
Many thanks!!
You perfectly captured the drama of a storm approaching. It is gorgeous!
Thanks Bernadette.
Whoa! This is awesome Shari! Beautiful painting!
Thanks so much Linda.
Love the dramatic highlights, in both the sky and water, where the sun rays are filtering through!
It was a dramatic day Gayle. Those are the most fun to paint. A perfect blue sky is rather boring.
It’s gorgeous Shari…absolutely gorgeous! Marylin Smith
Many thanks Marylin.
Wonderful painting and especially the sky. Your writing brings it all to life.
I love the writing part too Judy. And when I paint, it gives me something to think about.
The sky …and the sparkle on the water! Wonderful
Thanks so much Anne.
Going to send the link to our beach freinds from Blufton..So nice Shari!
Of course Monique. I’m sure they know the area well.

This is a beauty!!! I like your purples and blues in the storm clouds.
Thanks so much Joan.
So glad it wasn’t a tornado on the way. Lovely sky.
Me too Gerri.
Love your dramatic sky!! Beautiful! Sorry I had to miss this workshop but hope you return again soon. I’ll be on the lookout next time for workshops close by so hopefully I can plan ahead to attend. Enjoying your Craftsy classes!
