5 1/2" x 7", loggerhead key lighthouse, watercolor

(Ok, I finished this up this morning and I personally 

think it looks great. I am getting the hang of the 

watercolors and perfecting the lighthouse structures. It does 

look better in person. Unfortunately I'm not set up properly 

in the studio to get a real accurate photo. Not sure which 

lighthouse I will paint next so it will be a surprise.)

(I'm in the middle of this piece. This area is part of

the dry tortugas national park. I've decided I'm going 

to paint the top half the original black. Over the years the

paint chipped away and became worn so that the 

red brick started to show through and create this reddish 

brown color, which I kind of like. But, it has been

painted black, again, so I'm going to touch it up tomorrow

with black.)

 

I made a few touch ups especially around the iron work on

top of the lighthouse. I think it works.

(The iron work on the top of the lighthouse has

been a real challenge. I might experiment a bit 

with the micron pens for more accuracy & leverage.

You'll have to pardon my photography skills, 

this painting looks a lot better in person, & that

is the case with all the other watercolors I've done.)

 And, I will always be here for you no matter what!!!!!!

Had some difficulties with the architecture, but will keep practicing.
