I paused my August Imagination Challenge a couple of weeks ago, so, even though this is the 30th of the month, this creation is for Week 3.
I wanted to “go” to a city, thinking maybe I’d head to the Big Apple or Atlanta. But even in my imagination, that just felt like too much. Isn’t it strange that your imagination can get overwhelmed just as if you are actually “there”, wherever that may be!
Instead of a big city, I decided to “go” to Charleston SC. It’s a pretty city with all kinds of good food, shopping, concerts, plays, sightseeing and even water excursions! Now, we all know one would never really visit Charleston in August! It’s just too hot and too humid- “miserable” comes to mind. But that’s the great thing about imaginary travel! I can pretend the weather is perfectly lovely. So it was- perfect!
This is a multi media creation on watercolor paper, 6″x6″.
Charleston is a really lovely city and generally pedestrian friendly, making it pleasant to walk from place to place. There are nice hotels, great galleries, lots of amazing food. It’s a place where one might wear a cute sundress and pretty sandals for shopping and lunch with friends. And of course we have friends there, it’s all in our imagination!
In the evening, put on your fancy gown and head to a concert, followed by a late dinner overlooking the river!
The next day, you can do a sightseeing tour either by boat or mule drawn carriage and then have tea on the veranda when the shadows lengthen. There are many ways to spend time in Charleston. I’ve been there and would love to return sometime- for real, not just in my imagination.
There’s nothing like a pretty Southern city for a variety of activities at a genteel pace.
I enjoyed my imaginary stay in Charleston. I feel pampered, relaxed and invigorated!
Tomorrow I’ll post the final week of the Challenge.
Can you guess where I “went” this past week?
Here’s a hint… Charleston is a good jumping off point.
Thanks for “joining” me! See you tomorrow!
