Lighthouse Inspiration

As an artist, I'm always looking for new imagry. One wayto get fresh inspiration is through travel. In February I stayed in the Assistant Lighthouse Keeper's Cottage at Point Cabrillo. It was magical. We could watch whale spouts from the dining room table, and at night the beams from the lighthouse would sweep past our windows. 

I love lighthouses but am cautious to avoid cliches. I hope in these paintings I've been able to embrace the metaphor without easy answers or platitudes.

I am excited to be entering a new stage of life in which I have the flexibity to explore places for new ideas.
