This is a third painting that I plan to bring to Rogers Gallery in Mattapoisett in June. It’s a picture of the ever-popular Ned’s Point Lighthouse. I painted it several years ago but never framed it and the picture got damaged. Decided to do it again on my new surface and I really like the way the colors blended in the sky and foliage. And the texture gives the stucco feel of the lighthouse surface as well.  I used Giraults exclusively, except for the bottom, where I added softer greens. The warm oranges and reds  are also Girault and Ludwig. I’m loving the more refined surface that I’m able to get by using Girault. I’m not using hard pastels at all. The picture is 15 x 22 — a half sheet of the Rives. It’s a nice size but will have to be matted.
