"Morning Coffee" 2000 On
warm fragrant mornings, not long after the sun rises out of the Atlantic,
guests at the Two Meeting Street Inn in Charleston, can sit at one of the wrought
iron tables on the veranda and drink coffee while the birds and butterflies
help usher in a new day. In the
painting, a butterfly tasting the petunias, draws the eye to a beautiful half
round stained glass window. You can sense the chorus of songbirds just beyond
the double-columned arches in the twisted old live oak tree which dominates
the grounds. A brick sidewalk leads the eye through an arched gate in the
wrought iron fence that defines the property, and across the famous
Charleston Battery at the confluence of the Ashley and Cooper Rivers is
visible through the trees draped with Spanish moss. 1099

"Afternoon Tea" 2001 Ambience is the word that crops up often in conversations
about the antebellum city of It is a summer afternoon and a cool glass
of tea has been set out on the west end of the veranda for the thirsty
sightseer in from touring the old city. Except for the muted sound of motor
cars on Meeting and Battery Streets, the scene could have easily been lifted
from the nineteenth century. 2001 1099

" 2003
Occasionally an artist will find a subject so compelling that he
simply must return, perhaps more than once, to display all its facets. For
Dempsey Essick, the Carrington-Carr House at After
doing three paintings at the location (View from the Veranda, Morning Coffee,
and Afternoon Tea) from a point of view looking outward from the arched
veranda, Dempsey has figuratively stepped off of the veranda and walked out
to the street for a look back a the magnificent building. 1019 prints Image

" The
" A
giclee (pronounced gee-clay) is a recognized fine art print category like
lithographs and serigraphs. Giclee is considered among the world's best
technique for reproducing original works of art as it allows the print to be
reproduced on the same quality paper as the original is painted. In our case, your giclee is printed on
paper much like the watercolor paper Dempsey uses. Because of how the ink
adheres to this better quality paper, giclees look
very much like original art. However because of the cost of the paper, the
fact that they are produced individually by state of the art equipment, the
giclee is a more expensive print. The image permanence of giclees
lasts up to 200 years when proper museum lighting is used. Edition:
100 total giclee prints available in a choice of sizes Image
size A: 23 1/2 x 39 ¼ $450,
unframed Image
size B: 20 x 34 $400, unframed Image
size C: 17 x 32 $300,unframed Hidden Hummingbird |

" 2005 For
Fall 2005, Dempsey Essick has returned once more to his favorite city, The
scene before him did not take his attention until the walk back, when the
morning sun lit up the
white bay window. With
the fresh blooming flowers framed by the brickwork and wrought iron, Dempsey
knew it had to be painted. Now you too, can enjoy the beauty of this Print owners will delight in the fact
that Dempsey, at no charge, will retouch the mortar of the slate sidewalk by
adding a name, initials, or a special date. Please note that there is an
obvious hummingbird in the painting, but there is also a hidden hummingbird
as well. 999 prints Image
