Original Creation

Night Light by Day

Caylakas 05 Dec 2022

I’m not sure if this would be considered an original painting or not. It’s the lighthouse from “Night Light” but has the sky from “Ebb Tide” and the water is modeled after “Stormy Seas”. I was trying to go for something like the lighthouse in Portland, Maine.

Very pretty!

Beautiful! I love the combination

Gorgeous!

Finally I can see how the lighthouse and the houses really looks, marvelous painting!

Thanks for the nice comments. I don’t know if it is SUPPOSED to look like this, but it’s one way it COULD.

A definite original! I enjoy changing up some of Bob's paintings as well. By picking the parts of different compositions that you really like and putting them together, it really becomes yours. I think that is a terrific sky for the daytime lighthouse!

This is gorgeous Brian! Everything is to a T. I like the fact that you picked different elements from different paintings of Bob’s.

Thanks! It’s funny, if you watch Bob’s early seascapes, the techniques are different than his later ones. Night Light is one of the early ones and he talked about putting curved white lines up the front of the waves. In his later seascapes, he talked about running the white lines down the back of the waves and leaving the front dark. That’s what I tried to do on this one. I think it looks better. I think it just goes to show that even the master, Bob Ross, has a learning curve and adapts his style as he learned and got better over the years.

🤩 😯 beautiful I love it, I will try taking 3 different paintings and combine to see out come
