As I open the digital canvas on my screen, I can't help but feel a surge of excitement as I embark on the journey of recreating one of my cherished photos from the Charleston, Oregon fishermen marina. With the click of a button, I select my virtual watercolor brush, ready to bring this scene to life with vibrant autumn colors and shimmering water reflections.
I start by carefully selecting the perfect palette of warm hues. Rich shades of burnt sienna, deep ochre, and fiery red sit harmoniously alongside hints of golden yellows and earthy browns. With each stroke, I aim to capture the essence of the autumnal charm that fills the air.
Using broad, sweeping motions, I recreate the expansive sky. The fading sun casts its golden rays upon the clouds, which are painted with soft touches of rose pink and apricot. As the light gradually diminishes, the sky takes on a mesmerizing blend of purples and blues, creating a tranquil backdrop for the rest of the scene.
Next, I focus on the marina itself, paying close attention to the intricate details of the boats and their reflections in the water. With precision and patience, I depict the weathered wooden vessels, their forms gracefully outlined against the backdrop of the marina. The autumnal colors transform the scene, as each boat becomes a palette of warm hues, adorned with rustic accents.
To recreate the water's reflection, I delicately add gentle, fluid strokes of paint. The ripples on the water's surface become a captivating dance of colors, mirroring the marina and sky above. Shades of blues and purples intermingle with golden highlights, creating a sense of depth and movement within the painting.
As I step back and observe the digitally painted masterpiece taking shape before my eyes, I can't help but feel a sense of accomplishment. The beauty of the Charleston, Oregon fishermen marina, with its autumn colors and serene water reflections, is now preserved on the digital canvas, ready to be admired and cherished for years to come.

Lovely and intricate light green wrought iron staircase railing at the Market Place in Charleston, South Carolina
Called the Miniature Niagara, having the same rock strata as Niagara Falls, this beautiful falls cascades 37'. It's fed by a spring located 7 miles to the east. Located in southwest Ohio, it's the centerpiece of Charleston Falls Preserve, 216 acres of forest and prairie. We visit this park every Christmas Holiday. Often the waterfall is an icy sculpture but little ice this year.
Falling 37', the waterfall is called Ohio's Little Niagara. Both falls having the same rock strata. The water comes from a spring several miles to the east. Beautiful 216 acre well maintained park with 4 miles of hiking trails.
The ambient light from Charleston, the docks and the bridge put on quite the show with the cloud cover...

Unfortunately he died at the end of last year but he had a very distinctive broken tooth as a result of a giraffe kick which dangled from the side of his mouth for the rest of his life.

Located about 10 miles north of Dayton, Ohio, the little known (at least outside the Dayton Area) 37 ft. Charleston Falls is fed by an underground springs several miles to the west and is obviously well worth a visit after some significant rain. Unfortunately the spray off the falls made shooting directly in front of it impossible. Out of view to the right is a second and much smaller falls.

CHARLESTON SC: Charleston is one of the most pleasant cities to stroll and take shots of front doors.
Built circa 1800 in the Neoclassical style for Francis Simmons, a planter from Edisto Island, this Charleston Single House features a notable fence and gate with ornate details, added by George Edwards during his ownership of the house between 1816 and 1835. The house was also occupied after being sold in 1879 by James Adger Smyth, mayor of Charleston between 1895 and 1903. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1973. The house presently has the distinction of holding several recent (now-broken) records for being the most expensive residential property on the Downtown Charleston Peninsula, as it sits in one of the most desirable locations within the city, and is a large, well-kept historic home.
