This painting of Pemaquid Lighthouse in Maine is about the lighthouse and the keeper's house, not about the fence surrounding the buildings. Nothing was to be gained by painting each piece of the picket fence which would draw attention where I didn't want it to be. By losing the edges and only suggesting the fence, your eye stays out where I want it to be...on the lighthouse.
Today I will be a guest speaker at Carol Carter's watercolor class at Maryville College. A little biography, a little technique and a little travelogue. I'm really looking forward to it!
