Peter's Island miniature

Today's piece is a small painting of Peter's Island lighthouse. It was done in watercolour and coloured pencil on gessoed 300 lb W&N watercolour paper. It is from a photo by Laura Titus, and you can see the original photo here (Thanks, Laura!). Check out her site for some great local photos. This painting is for a gift... I'm working on a series of these 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" paintings with my mom, who is a beginning stained glass artist. The plan is to sandwich the mini paintings between two panes of glass, and then foil and solder aroung the edges. Add a hook and a piece of ribbon et voila... ornament. (That's the plan, anyway... I'll post photos of the finished project.

Tonight is the school Christmas concert. My son is going to be Santa in an underwater Christmas story. I can't wait to watch all those freshly scrubbed faces so excited to be reciting their lines that they've been practicing. And fidgeting and pulling faces.
