Postings of my various and sundry attempts at something like art
Following some advice, I’ve embarked on a study of lighthouses, because I love them so much as visual objects in interesting settings.
The lighthouse source image I found on Unsplash. Thanks to James Peacock @jimmyp9751 for making this photo available freely on Unsplash 🎁
Please see my notion project page for more information on this study.

Many macOS users will likely recognize the source for this painting as one or the background images provided in the recent past. Every time it would pop onto my background or go by in a screen saver, I’d just give a sigh and stare at it.
Jokingly naming the painting “Ellie Font” for no typographical reason, just the way my brain works.

We started a new painting class project in February. It’s a picture our teacher took while touring around near La Crescent / La Cross.
