Creative Tuesdays - Lighthouse

Here is my 'Lighthouse' entry into the latest Creative Tuesdays theme. It's acrylic on cardstock (6.5" x 4.5").  I've seen beautiful photos with giant waves crashing around the lighthouse, but settled on a more simple sunset background.  I was going to do a red and white lighthouse then decided it looked better here in silhouette.

Please drop by the other participants, the theme runs until January 29th!

Beautiful. My wife and I saw some beautiful lighthouses when we went to Ireland several years ago.
I love them.

Love your choice of colors and the contrast of the black lighthouse is so cool. Black for a light house. Love it.

I totally love your lighthouse, Christine. So love the wave of colour in the sky. Clever and very desingey. The simplicity of your work betrays a well thought out layout. :)

I wish I was sitting and watching a real life sunset like this one! The lighthouse pops out very nicely against the vibrant background; great piece!
