Peach Light at Shem Creek

Original watercolor painting of a shrimp boat at sunset on Shem Creek in Charleston, South Carolina, featuring peach and golden light reflected on calm water.

Framed 12x16 original watercolor of a shrimp boat at sunset on Shem Creek in Charleston, South Carolina, shown matted in a black frame.

Peach Light at Shem Creek captures a quiet Lowcountry evening as the last warmth of the day settles over the harbor. A lone shrimp boat rests in still water while soft peach and golden light spill across the sky and reflect in gentle ripples below. Cool blue tones above balance the glow of the setting sun, creating a calm dialogue between warmth and shadow. Painted in watercolor on textured paper, this piece embraces atmosphere and light rather than detail, allowing the moment to feel suspended and unhurried. Inspired by Charleston’s coastal rhythm, it reflects the stillness that arrives just before nightfall along Shem Creek.
