Carolyn Caldwell, Pemaquid Light, pastel, 11" x 14"

Today is Open Lighthouse Day in Maine. All over the state, a bunch of lighthouses are open to the public, and accessible through boat tours. We chose not to do a special show, but I wanted to get some  lighthouse-oriented work in the gallery. Carolyn Caldwell just brought by this pastel, which she did on location at Pemaquid Light.

Whether or not Lighthouse Day brings hordes of lighthouse-seekers to the island, the Chamber of Commerce has published a new Lighthouse Trail brochure, pointing visitors to eight lighthouses that aren't too far from here. Not wanting to miss-out on any potential hordes, we put an ad in the brochure, so now we'll need to always have a lighthouse department. I began a couple of  (somewhat crude) block prints, but they're not quite there yet. Maybe some day.
