"Barnegat Lighthouse"





















Color Study - NFS
8"x10" Oil on Canvas Panel
Plein Air of the Barnegat Lighthouse on a hot summer
morning in July.  I was happily painting this plein air
when the Coast Guard started practicing an ocean
rescue exercise. The low flying helicopter created a
hurricane-like spray of  water and sand. Luckily, I
was almost done with my painting.

    Dave, Carol and Hilda - thank you for visiting! I'm hoping to get back into daily painting and posting after taking a break from it this summer.
