Oil/Digital 24" x 20"
This is my first entry for the http://www.IllustrationFriday.com. This is my Sea theme. Most of my stuff is realistic and highly detailed so it's usually impossible (with other paying work to do) a new piece every week for free. This lighthouse piece was originally done for some marketing materials for North American Mission Board (NAMB). They wanted to portray a blue night scene stormy sea with a guiding light from the lighthouse. They wanted it to be a generic lighthouse but I wanted it to be a specific lighthouse. Splitrock Lighthouse, Duluth, MN. So I created what they wanted and later digitally made it specific. Everything but the lighthouse and light were painted with oils. I added the lighthouse and transparent light in photoshop. It was fun painting the angry sea and clouds. If you have read this far please feel free to make a comment.
