"Grand Haven Lighthouse"

 

This was a rare commissioned piece I recently did. I really don't like painting from other people' photos, but in this case I had to. It was quite a dramatic sky, pretty close to the way I painted it. However, as you know, photographs tend to distort colors, so it isn't actually as bright in the flesh. On of the days, I should do a road trip around Michigan and photograph/paint all the lighthouses.
