“Under the Pier”

I am proud to say I finished this watercolor painting, a massive endeavor because it is so large. It is satisfying to work hard on a project and feel good about that effort when it is complete. I won the Betty Montcastle Memorial Award with this painting in the 2024 annual exhibit of the Watercolor Society of NC.

This scene is the underside of one of the beach piers in Myrtle Beach, SC, looking out at the Atlantic Ocean.

“Under the Pier” in process

My nephew shared a photo he had taken of the underside of an ocean-front pier. The details and weathering were fascinating to me! I am working on an oversized painting of this image that is so large, I had to begin work on the floor because it is too large to manage in my usual work space.
