Algoma Lighthouse

8x10 inches, oil on Crescent Board

Yesterday was our 43rd wedding anniversary, seems impossible we've been married so many years.  Anyway, we had a nice evening out at a local supper club, and enjoyed ourselves very much.

Earlier in the day I decided to take a stab at painting the very familiar lighthouse in Kewaunee county, where my dear aunt lives.  I've taken dozens of pictures of it over the years, but never tried painting it.  I was sure I had some 8x10 inch canvases in the closet, but no, I did not.  So I used a scrap of Crescent Board, and worked quickly with thinned down oil paint.  

Not so bad.
