#23 "The Lighthouse" 18x24 oil


My long time friends Dave and Diane Harrison were over for dinner a couple of weeks ago. Dave asked me why I didn't do more large paintings. I think because I was, and still am kinda new to this whole thing.... large paintings intimidated me somewhat. Well, after Dave's question to me, I decided to do an 18x24. After the first day of working on it... I was somewhat happy with the results but it needed some reworking. Went back in on 2/1/10 and worked a little on the sky, the rocks at water's edge and the ocean. Highlighted some of the cliffs with a few strokes of pure chroma! I think I'm done with lighthouses for awhile.... hope to start something entirely new this week!!!


Below is a short 30 sec video of the Pt. Vicente Lighthouse... great place to watch the gray whale migrate, dolphins play or simply enjoy the peace and tranquility.... I'll probably change the video from time to time.... today, 2/2/2010, kinda cloudy, cool... rain in the forecast.
