Charleston Revisited The French Hugenot Church Watercolor --Work-a-Day 10-26-06 This was sort of a "meet and greet" piece. It seemed like when I started painting this people started coming from across the street to see what I was doing. Some proceeded into the gallery after chatting with me. It's stimulating to be out in a "happening" city. This pushes me to work faster and more decisively--to say nothing of the brisk Autumn air. I did this piece in just over an hour. Again, I can't say enough about the jewel-like presence of this church. I will revisit this subject matter, no doubt.   Outside Web Link:  Click here to follow the external link Weblog Category:  Artwork • permalink | email to friend

From Mark, From Charleston Today's Work-a-Day is a piece I did in Charleston late last week. I went to the Hatfield II Fine Art Gallery at the corner of Queen and Church where I set up my easel outside. The weather was ideal. I made three drawings of the French Hugenot Church--a striking white and black, semi-gothic architecture. Before my first drawing was half finished, a lady from Ohio put a claim on it and came back to purchase it after a Ferry Tour of the harbor. The French Hugenots, after they were driven out of France in the late 1600s, established the French Quarter of Charleston even before there was a French community in New Orleans. The reason I I know this is by overhearing it repeatedly as horse drawn carriage tours passed by me while I painted. Although, it's not the largest or the tallest or the most impressive church in Charleston, I think it's the most exquisite.
