"Beacon of Light"

Moonlight Lighthouse

In The Dark Lighthouse

 

"Guiding Light"

Lighthouse paintings have become my consuming passion. Much like the metaphor they symbolize, their cylindrical form exerts a magnetic pull, as if guiding my path forward.

"Lighthouse"

Lighthouse:

This is one of my favorites. Why? It is captivating. I could feel this painting, literally. 

I had to stop what I was doing as this tingly feeling washed over me. My feet seem to disappear, sand cascading over them. A warmth radiates over me. Sweet-salty flavor fills my breath. My long dark locks, take flight, swirling, whirling from my face into space. Seagulls clattering way above, where my eyes roam across the sky. White billowy shapes form and groove, shaking up the sky as if taking on a life of their own. Is it a lion or a horse? 

Roaring, whooshing, gurgling, and fizzing. Echoes in my head. Look out, rogue wave in coming. Inhale. Freshness. Exhale. Calmness. Eyes open. Home again.

This piece is not one of my original designs. It is a copy of another artist who's identity is unknown. I loved the layout and the colors of this piece. Since I had no official art training I learned by copying artwork from other artist. Most times, I would discover inspiration online or from books. Then challenging myself to recreate the artwork. If my painting turned out with similar likeness then I knew I was getting it. I was satisfied with the end result of this piece and gifted to a very close friend.

Holy Cow! Nine years since my last post.

Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin into the future.

Life is full of so many ups and downs but painting helps keep me grounded and inspired.

"The most exquisite moments often feel fleeting, slipping away just as we yearn to savor them for eternity."

Preserve those moments by photographing, painting, journaling-blogging. 

Capture life as it happens!
