Sunday Sketches - The Lighthouse

I was inspired by the clean lines of a photo I saw in the travel section of the newspaper of  Boston Lighthouse in Boston.  It's the oldest lighthouse in America built in 1716 apparently.
Acrylic on cardstock (6" x 6").

Linking to Sunday Sketches.

Wow that is an interesting fact. I wonder what the oldest standing light is and where. This is a charming painting. I like the movement in the sky.

Interesting that the lighthouse is still up considering how old it is. My in-laws live in Boston. I have been there just once.

Love your painting Christine. A lot of lighthouses here have been closed, or changed to automatic. Gone are the days when there was a Lighthouse Keeper on sight :)

This is great and you've reminded me that I was going to paint a card for my granddaughter again. I did one for her last week and she loved getting something in the snail mail.
