On Saturday, I had a chance to drive down to St. Simon's Island to do a little "ON LOCATION" drawing and painting.
I took state road # 17 down to avoid the traffic on I-95 South. My first stop was Darien. Fort King George was erected in 1721 to ward off the Spanish to the South and the French to the West.
I have always been curious about the fort, as the drove through on other occasions. This time I stopped and took the grand tour (self-guided) through the Museum, the video presentations and the fort, itself.
It must have been a hard life- on a cool morning- I still deluged by clouds of mosquitoes...so the tour, though informative was accomplished at a rather quick pace. It was very good- it was an exercise in decisiveness for my photographic choices!!!
I continued to St. Simon's Island, GA. and spent a wonderful day there drawing, painting, taking photos and videos.
All this and I was back home by 3:15 pm having spent a VERY full "art day"!
