Randaberg Lighthouse

This has worked well - the buildings losing none of their presence by being 'looked down upon'.

A great landscape painting enhanced by the use of the drone. Gives it a 3-D effect which is very pleasant.

The lighthouse and outbuildings on the Tungenes peninsula are much loved by local Norwegian people and visitors alike. Perhaps unconventionally, reference images were taken by piloting a small drone, this is a very different approach to the usual en plein air painting or watercolour reference sketches and gives the viewer an alternative birds eye perspective on this beautiful place.
