“We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won't need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don't fire cannons to call attention to their shining- they just shine.”
- Dwight L. Moody
I just got back home last night after a wonderful week delivering paintings to my gallery in Norfolk, VA. The entire trip was delightful, and high-lighted by getting together with friends for some painting, eating, talking....(repeat several times). I had the chance to meet up with fellow painters Barbara Mastaglio and Scott London early Wednesday morning to head over to Fort Story to the lighthouses. I used to live close by before we moved to CT, so this was a real treat for me! It was a bit blowy in the morning, I really had to hold on to my easel with one hand, paint with the other. But what a treat to be back in the warm sunshine...at last, warmed to the bones! It was a gorgeous day and exactly what I needed!

you really captured the windblown feeling. Love the knife work.
Thanks Kelley! I'm surprised I didn't have any sand in the painting...but I sure did in my back-pack!
love the way you did your grass/beach in the foreground!
Thanks Artist! Palette knives really are a great-fun tool!
