Email Marie Doyon (mariemd@me.com) if you plan to attend.   Mary is a Lowcountry artist whose subjects are widely varied and where bold color and lights and shadows are a common element of her paintings. Mary most often works with a limited palette of primary colors and she paints quickly, wet-in-wet, leaving visual brushstrokes on the surface. Come and see Mary demonstrate her technique of painting with oils.
