"From the Top"

As I have been focusing on the inside of the lighthouse, I thought I ought to do at least one from the outside as well. I took this photo early in the day, so the sun was still low and was positioned right behind the lighthouse. This angle created a really beautiful halo of light around the tower.

"Golden View"

It is interesting to me how my attitude towards a piece changes over the course of creating it. I never like my paintings until I am close to finishing them. I think it is because when I first start, all I see is what else needs to be done, and the things that need to be changed of adjusted. This piece was no exception. But, over a period of just a few hours, I can go from really hating to really loving a piece.

Another view from inside the Tybee Island lighthouse. I enjoy how the whole piece seems to swirl around a center point- the curve of the stairs, the bricks, the line of the handrail. And in the midst of it all is that golden glint of sunshine.

"Stopping for the View"

In the way up the Tybee Island lighthouse, I stopped on each floor to take pictures of the various windows. We were there just as the sun was going down, so the windows were flooded with beautiful golden light. I plan to do a few more of these.
