Light House No.2 - 2009

Continuing the lighthouse theme and exploring more shapes and architectural styles of lighthouse construction, this light house painting depicts an early attempt at building a lighthouse using wood to form a precarious tower which sways in the wind!

Early lighthouse construction saw many structures made from wood but the relentless seas quickly demolished those searly structures.

The title of this painting is Light House No.2 - presumable No. 1 was demolished by the sea!

This humorous look at the life of a lighthouse keeper shows the perfectly mown green grass lawn and the general clutter around the lovely whitewashed house, the garden shed and the old caravan just add to the fun that I try to put into my paintings.

The washing line is an element that always features in my paintings and adds interest and a human touch to the painting.

I hope you enjoy this new light house painting for 2009 as much as I enjoyed creating it.

About the Artist

Peter Bowen R.G.D., BA, an accomplished graphic designer and professional watercolour artist.

His unique style of painting architectural subjects with humorous situations has earned him an international reputation during the last 25 years with much of his work in private collections in Canada, the United States and Great Britain.

Ideas for pictures often start as a collection of sketches of things that I have seen. I then create a composition in my mind that I think would work. "Often I start sketching directly on to watercolour paper with a fine pen, letting the lines do the work and form the framework of the picture". Colour elements follow and start to bring life to the painting. Shading and tonal colour adds dimension to the framework of shapes.
