brandywine shoal light
(10x15)
A lighthouse in the Delaware Bay, one of the prettiest.
Now that I've photographed I see I need to darken the values in the foreground a bit.
As I did to Negotiator, below.
Absolutely beautiful, Laura. I just love how you handle watercolors. Always spot on perfect! I have always wished I could live in a lighthouse and your painting is exactly why; they are gorgeous!
THis looks gorgeous...the hues in the lighthouse and water...fabulous...with all these nautical themes you better be doing a show at the end of summer:)
deftly painted and beautiful, great value study examples too, really made the Negotiator pop by darkening the waterline. I second the comment about putting a show together! xo Robin
You really have such a way of keeping your colors clean, your strokes confident, and your overall paintings bright! The lighting on this lighthouse is fabulous.

The Negotiator is perfect and the Brandywine lighthouse deftly composed.
Love the play of light in the clouds and across the lighthouse. All nicely done. :)
Hi Laura, I love the way you paint these water scenes. Lighthouses, boats, etc. Your blues and whites are so crisp ..

Laura, your stuff just keeps getting better all the time! Love these!
This is just such pure, perfect watercolor. I would love to be able to paint like this.
Love the lighthouse and Negotiator.
Great work.

I love your use of light and shadow on the lighthouse.
Love these waterside paintings! I have a real fondness for lighthouses and this is beautiful.
Lovely work.
It has been delightful

Good Creations
