Palmetto Sky won a Merit Award at the Pearls Before Swine Art Show last night!
This watercolor is done on Yupo paper - a synthetic, plastic type paper which presents its own challenges for painting.
The palmetto tree was the subject of a photograph that I took in South Carolina and it was fun painting it from this perspective.
It was a PIG -TASTIC fun time in downtown Elgin!
The show will be open today and Saturday from 10 am to 6 pm in downtown Elgin at the corner of 2nd and Main Street - 201 N Main Street.

Special thanks to my sweet sister-in-law from Austin, Callie, and our special friends from Round Rock, Beverly and Bret, who traveled out to Elgin last night especially for this opening!
