I Found My Parallel Artist in Charleston

Marmot with Cape, painting on exhibit at the Vendue Hotel, is highly similar to my Earnest the Sea Otter painting. We apparently live parallel lives.

Charleston and Carolyne Roehm

No one that I have ever met has more exquisite taste than Carolyne Roehm, ex-wife of the billionaire Henry Kravis. This private home has such neoclassical grace. It is located in Historic Charleston, SC, at One Rutledge Avenue.

Lewis Ginter Gardens in Richmond

Cherry blossoms in bloom at Lewis GInter in Richmond, Virginia, do my soul good. Additionally, heavenly-scented hyacinths are blooming in the splendid conservatory, alongside tulips, clivia, orchids, and bougainvillea. 

The charming thatched roof cottage has numerous fairy houses inside. 

These pictures were taken late March, at a time when the state of Virginia has just about threatened to throw in the towel because of Spring's slow arrival. 

Flowers, BLOOM!
