Pointes Des Monts Lighthouse, Quebec
Third time lucky! I have tried to post this painting twice today and when I have loaded it, I noticed that the image was blurred - camera fault perhaps? Anyway, this is taken from a photo off the Paint My Photo site, which is proving to be a useful source of copyright free photos to paint from. I would have liked to pop over to Quebec and paint the lighthouse on site - but alas - not within the budget. The photo was actually taken on a very calm day, but I decided to change that and give it a more coastal and blustery feel by having the flag flying and a livelier sky. The rocks were tricky for me as I didn't want them just to be shades of brown and grey, so I went for a more colourful look using colours that were then echoed in the rest of the painting. Watercolour on Fabriano Artistico White.
