brandywine light

 (9x12)
I bought a set of Cheap Joe's soft-sided sketchbooks, thinking I'd devote each one to a different subject/experience: one for travels, one for boating, etc.
I promptly got some sort of oily stain on the cover of the one I'd designated for boating, so I glued some watercolor paper over it and painted this picture of the Brandywine Shoal Lighthouse, which I think is the prettiest lighthouse in the Delaware Bay.

Lilies blooming in my yard, photographed in a rare moment of sunshine.

What a lovely painting of a lighthouse. Make me want to go there!

If the lighthouse isn't the prettiest, it definitely is the way you've painted it - such fresh color! Have a great weekend and let me know what you think about David's DVD on the Portrait in Payne's Gray.
