I never liked paintings of light houses. Now that I have painted a few, I see the attraction. You can have dramatic skies plus reflections in water. The actual building is also interesting. This was from a picture of a light house in Maryland, which I greatly modified. There is no such light house except in my head. What fun.
This watercolor was done in the afternoon and nobody bothered me except the bugs. It was a beautiful day in Davis, CA and not too hot. The silos are quite tall and I simplified them. The road in and the posts were added as directional tools and to give some idea of depth and size.
