Lighthouse # 3

A 16x20, Oil. My third attempt at a lighthouse. I decided to do the trees a little more realistic this time. Used darker blues and lavenders for a more dramatic look. Had fun with it. Thanks for looking.

1 Corinthians 10:23-24
"I have the right to do anything, you say - but not everything is beneficial. I have the right to do anything - but not everything is constructive. No one should seek their own good, but the good of others."

Basketball

An 8x10, Oil I have done in honor of our son, Charles Ramsdell. He is a professional basketball player in Spain. He still loves the game. He has been in Spain for 6 years and having the time of his life. Quite an adventurer! He has met his soul-mate ..another adventurer, his fiance', and is getting married this summer. We are so happy for Charles. This painting was fun to do. I treated the basketball floor a little on the abstract side. Used a palette knife to achieve this look. Thank you for looking.

Philippians 4:8
"And now dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise."
