I finished this colored pencil painting just before my vacation last week and needed to settle on it a while, you know like we all do with newly finished work. Set it aside, look at it, put it in a frame to check it out, look at it some more and then leave it for a week to see - is it really done. Well, I guess so as I photographed it today, and here it is. Done except for the 6 - 8 final coats of UV Varnish which I'll do tomorrow. I like to shoot it after I spray it with matte fixative but before the varnish as I think the added coats make it harder to photograph. It's done on Ampersand Pastel Board. So it can hang without glass, protected by the UV Varnish.
The lighthouse in lower Nags Head, NC is a familiar site for vacationers to the outer banks. And is one of the reference shots from our Trip at the end of May. The view is from the marsh lands looking back to the light from the deck platform. Catching the reflection in the marsh water was a unique shot of this often photographed lighthouse. One of the many pieces I will be working on for a gallery in the outer banks. I hope you enjoy my take on it.
