The Belle of the Ball, Charleston, South Carolina
It is with a full heart that I blog in tribute to the city I always consider to be home, Charleston, SC. I swing between tears for their loss and tears of pride and joy at their unity in the wake of the violence that took nine precious lives as they held a prayer meeting in church.
The photo reference for my painting Charleston Red Shutters was one that I took when my husband and I celebrated the release of my first novel and my birthday in February, 2015. The novel series, Painter Place, is set on a fictional island about an hour north of Charleston, with family interactions in the city. Some scenes occur at Middleton Place and on the Battery in White Point Gardens. My husband surprised me with a long weekend at Two Meeting Street Inn, just across the street, and we walked around town to map out an important scene on Church Street for the third novel in the series. I also photographed the rough cobblestones of Adger's Wharf, mentioned in the second novel, Hugo.
If you've ever visited Charleston and strolled the cobblestone streets, peeking into gates that beckon with curled iron fingers to look into quaint gardens, you know that Charleston Red Shutters is a typical example of the charm of Charleston. Among all cities in the entire world, she is the Belle of the Ball, the shining example of courtesy and kindness in a world spinning in a maelstrom of confusion.
