Racheting around the country, visiting family and friends. I hope to get some painting in, at the least, I will get to take a lot of source photos. You can follow our travel blog at http://trailingrichncyn.blogspot.com, if you wish.
A remnant of the rice culture which flourished along this river is pictured in this watercolor. It's what's left of a dike that was used to control the flow of water into and out of the rice fields. It is about 1/3 down the left side of the painting. The river proper is behind it. If you search Google Maps for the Cooper River, South Carolina, you can plainly see how extensive these dikes were.
