36 x 48 stretched canvas. This is my mother's Christmas gift. She looooves lighthouses and water scenes so I chose Marblehead lighthouse (lake Erie Ohio) because I know she has been to visit there. I definitely used artistic license on this one. The sky and water were from an image I found online (an Alexander Dzigurski painting) that I painted in reverse. It is more of an ocean color than Lake Erie, but I feel like I adapted it well enough to be believable. The lighthouse is from a photo (it was easy to find many photos of Marblehead lighthouse). Overall it took me 9 full days of painting (about 60-70 hours). It is a deep canvas so I have painted the edges as well. I absolutely enjoyed painting on this large size! I wish I could do more huge paintings.
Super and super-sized! Very pretty Pam! You must have a huge almighty easel.
Holy cow - I swear, I thought it was a reference photo when I first looked at this. INCREDIBLE!!
Beautiful!
Really gorgeous! Not like a painting at all more like a picture! Love all your details...so good.
Wow this is beautiful! I’m sure she will love it. That is one majestic lighthouse!
Superpainting!
Thank you so much everyone!
And, Brian, I have a "regular" Bob Ross easel which I had to adapt to do this painting.
Lovely work Pam. Love the detail on the light house and the light through the waves.
Thank you Robert!
man the light house is 99% a photograph
Thank you so much mashoo!
Very strong painting the depth in this painting is incredible. You’re such a great realism artist.
I really appreciate your compliment, Charles. This is definitely in the top 5 of my favorite paintings I have ever done. Good thing it is hanging in my mother's house. So I can see it whenever I want!
