Schneider Painting On Location "En Plein Air" in the SC Lowcountry 2014<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><i><b>"Painting from life (plein air) is not copying the subject. It is realizing one's sensations" </b></i></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"> Paul Cezanne 19th cen. french painter</span><br />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 15px;">Paul Cezanne states a reason I choose to work from life "en plein air" as the french called this method of painting. In addition to being surrounded with the sights and sounds of the location, when I'm painting plein air, changing conditions of light and weather force me to work quickly, producing a more direct and I think interesting statement of my subject. </span></span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 15px;">Come join me in the following photos as I paint on location in the Lowcountry of South Carolina.</span></span></h2>

Beautiful weather made for a wonderful afternoon at <a href="http://www.southcarolinaparks.com/hampton/introduction.aspx">Hampton Plantation</a>.<br />
<br />
As I worked on my <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charcoal_(art)">charcoal</a> drawing, the afternoon sun filtering through the ancient <a href="http://paintcharlestondaily.blogspot.com/2009/07/evening-light-at-hampton-plantation-new.html">Washington Oak</a> cast soft shadows on the Spanish moss as it swayed in the afternoon breeze.<br />

<br />
The property is composed of Murphy Island, Cedar Island, The Cape, Washo Reserve and adjacent upland habitats. Murphy Island, Cedar Island and The Cape are former rice fields managed for the benefit of breeding migratory and wintering waterfowl, shorebirds and wading birds.

The <a href="https://www.dnr.sc.gov/mlands/managedland?p_id=61">Santee Coastal Wildlife Management Area</a> of the SC Dept. of Natural Resources is a great place to visit this time of year. The weather is cooler, the bugs are more manageable, and with the deciduous leaves down for winter, more expansive vistas are visable in the hardwood forests. I'm continuing to explore the many inspirational locations this diverse ecosystem provides... Here are a couple of areas I've been inspired to paint out in recently</div>

Charcoal is a good medium to use in developing artistic ideas on location and in the studio. I like the easy way drawing with vine charcoal enables me to adjust values and compositional elements when I'm doing field studies. </div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here are two charcoal drawings I've recently completed. Although I'm using them to develop the subjects into larger paintings, charcoal drawings such as these are often valued as collectable artworks on their own merit. </div>

Angela D. Mack, Executive Director of the Gibbs Museum of Art has this to say about the book <b>: </b>"<i>Art Is a Powerful Language </i>is a much-overdue account of Willard Hirsch. His sculptures have long been part of the artistic landscape of this region, but until now little has been written about his training, career, and influence. Along with William Halsey and Corrie McCallum, Hirsch dominated artistic production in Charleston after World War II. He Became part of a long tradition of area art instruction that has led to what many refer to today as a second Charleston renaissance."<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: garamond, 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 19px;">I've always admired the way sunlight and shadows move in the branches of ancient live oak trees. Lately I've been sketching these light effects and the movement of moss blowing in the summer breeze through the trees. I'm hoping to be able to evoke the spirit of these graceful trees in an upcoming series of paintings. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: garamond, 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 19px;">Here's a recent sketch I did of a moss covered branch of a live oak in the evening breeze. Love these old oak trees - so strong, enduring, and graceful in all types of weather... </span><div class="blogger-post-footer">Katherine M Schneider Artist-Paint Charleston Daily.blogspot.com</div>Katherine Muschick Schneiderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09326709786215862656noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4928140380497602867.post-43765009627505342332012-07-02T12:53:00.000-07:002012-10-24T06:56:16.155-07:00"The Dolphing Watchers" an oil painting by Katherine M.

My painting, " The Dolphin Watchers" captures a moment when three women on the beach near Fort Moultrie spot wild dolphins in Charleston Harbor.</div>

As they shield their eyes from the afternoon sun, one girl points to the spot she's just seen the dolphins surface, another strains to see these beautiful, playful creatures, as a third tries to capture the memorable moment with her camera. The energy and excitement of their encounter with the dolphins is conveyed in my painting by their body positions and the use of bright colors in the summer sunshine. </div>

This month the moon has been rising early in the eastern sky. It's already ascended high above the horizon by twilight-the time between sundown and full darkness in the evening.<br />
<br />
My painting "Twilight Moon Rising" catches the brief time when the moon shines softly as it rises through the fading light over the marsh.<div class="blogger-post-footer">Katherine M Schneider Artist-Paint Charleston Daily.blogspot.com</div>Katherine Muschick Schneiderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09326709786215862656noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4928140380497602867.post-48368671136578996692012-04-27T06:58:00.000-07:002012-10-24T06:57:59.320-07:00National Arbor Day 2012<br />
Happy National Arbor Day 2012. "Lowcountry Morning Glow" is my plein air painting of a SC Lowcountry marsh hummock with the state tree - the Palmetto. What a great day to get outside and celebrate the beauty of trees.<br />
