"Magnolia Bridge", 30" x 40", $700

I have vacationed in Charleston, SC for the past 40 years. I have a deep love for this city and surrounding areas. This is the iconic bridge at Magnolia Plantation. I have visited this place many times and it holds a special place in my heart. I like to think that comes through in my painting.
