Feeling Grateful

We are on a month long trip to Colorado and Montana in our motorhome- visiting friends and family. Ted’s son is living in Bozeman now and it was great to connect with him-we even went up to Glacier National Park for three days. A spectacular place-even with the crowds. I met a plein air artist perched and painting over the river for an upcoming event in Kalispell. It made my day to chat with her!

I received an email that these 2 had sold from Spring Bull Gallery, which was really great news. One is a gift to a couple getting married at the Castle Hill Inn, where this lighthouse is located, the other to a collector- especially grateful for someone who has more than one of my paintings.

Collecting original art shows you are a person who takes their time to find a painting that speaks to them, who appreciates the artists hand, eye, and training to produce something that evokes emotion, recalling a memory or anticipating something new.

Plum Beach Light


 This lighthouse stands in Narragansett Bay in North Kingstown- built in 1899 and now on the National Register of Historic Places. It was deactivated after the first Jamestown bridge was built in 1941, and was sorely neglected until 1999 when the Friends of Plum Beach Lighthouse took over and totally restored it. Also, it is now licensed by the Coast Guard as a navigational aid. It has always caught my fancy, and it’s been depicted by many artists and photographers. This painting is 8x8 on a cradled panel.
