Sweet Gullah Country - SOLD
Sweet Gullah Country
10" x 10". Oil on Canvas Board
Sold
Back from our three week excursion, having spent time in the Blue Ridge mountains, the Smokies, and finally at the beach in South Carolina, where we heard about the Gullah culture. What a sweet part of the country, with it's marshes and islands, just beautiful. My clever sil made a dish with fresh shrimp called "low country boil" or Frogmore Stew, which has its origins in this area. This little painting is a representation of the views you see when driving around in the "low country". For a bit of information about the Gullah culture, look here: http://www.yale.edu/glc/gullah/index.htm Thanks for looking.
Beautiful!
