As the oldest city in South Carolina, Charleston is known for its rich history, well-preserved and colorful architecture, vast restaurant community, and friendly people. Charleston's unique culture, which blends traditional Southern U.S., English, French, and West African elements, is evidenced in the unique accent of it's citizens. Known as the Holy City because of it's early toleration of all Protestant religions, Charleston's horizon is full of church steeples, as are seen in this painting. Depicted with a glowing sunset over the Ashley River, Southern warmth and charm come alive in this colorful piece of art.
