Living on the Charleston, South Carolina Peninsula was a very pleasant experience, especially because I love to walk and could get myself almost everywhere necessary on foot. Charleston City Hall is across from the downtown Post Office (another historic building) where I held a mail box so I looked at the pale pink marble edifice almost every day.
While I lived in Charleston, Carol Ezell-Gilson, a very dear friend and wonderful painter, managed the art gallery of historic paintings in the Council Chambers on the second floor of city hall so I often tromped up the exterior and interior flights of stairs to visit her. Just across the hall from the art gallery sat Mayor Riley in his office. Mayor Joseph P. Riley, Jr. has now been the elected mayor of Charleston for 33 years. Really, that must be the record in the U.S., if not the world! If you click on the link via his name, you can see a photo of City Hall, the interior of the gallery my friend managed and a photo of Mayor Riley.
Another pleasant feature of life in the Charleston was the weather. I stood outside and painted this in early January with no uncomfortable memories whatsoever.
Every Sunday I post a new painting and story behind the watercolors I made while touring as a singer songwriter. Follow the stories behind the paintings of these serialized posts by working your way up from the bottom.
