Hugs & Kisses: Afterglow

There’s something about this sky that stops you in your tracks. In Hugs & Kisses: Afterglow, Jeanne O’Neal captures that fleeting moment just after sunset, when the entire marsh seems to glow from within. Layers of soft coral, peach, and lavender stretch across the horizon, reflected in the winding water below, while the darker silhouettes of marsh grasses and live oaks ground the scene in that unmistakable Lowcountry landscape we know and love.

Part of her Hugs & Kisses series, this piece leans into a softer, more romantic palette—playful, luminous, and full of warmth—while still carrying the confident brushwork and sense of place that define Jeanne’s work. The sky feels expansive and alive, almost abstract in its movement, while the marsh below anchors it in something familiar and deeply rooted in the coastal South.

This original oil painting is gallery-wrapped and ready to hang, finished with hand-painted gold edges that give it a refined, collected feel—no frame needed. The gold detail quietly picks up the warmth in the sky, adding just enough richness to make the entire piece feel intentional, elevated, and complete.

Whether it reminds you of an evening on the creek, a quiet moment at the end of the day, or simply the magic of a Lowcountry sky, this is one of those pieces that feels personal the second you see it.
