Peek at the Lighthouse



Out to the deck I went once again in order to try and capture a snippet of my view to the north. Pt. Cabrillo Lighthouse continually flashes and even helps me make my way to the bathroom in the dark of night! The coastal pines that adorn the edge of my neighbor's property always 'ask' to be painted as well, so don't be surprised if you continue to see this theme crop up over and over...............

Pt. Cabrillo Sundown



Similar to the chicken, this is another painting with a big, bold shape. I was working on a large commission today and using my palette knife, so decided to try it on a small piece too. This is our local lighthouse just as the sun is setting and the glass is gleaming with the last rays of sunlight. It's pretty much a silhouette save that dash of shiny glass and the red highlights on the roof and grasses, so it is simple indeed. Crazy yummy sky color too, kind of like split pea soup dontcha think?

Lust for Light



Running from pillar to post, now we're back to the coast! This is the Point Cabrillo Lighthouse, one of my favorite 'skylines' because of those cypress trees that have such personality. The sea is barely visible, but you can see the glimmers across the waves if you look in between the buildings and tree trunks. It's one of the most glorious half mile walks you'll ever do, so come for a visit and be sure to bring a picnic.
