“Yucca at Topsail”
6x8" oil on panel

The lighthouse paintings, I’ll resume tomorrow. My neighbor, Barbara, has a condo at Topsail Beach, a community on Topsail Island just north of Wilmington, North Carolina. Even though my lighthouses are a priority, I couldn’t resist her invitation to join her for a weekend at the beach. Lots of long walks, beautiful sunsets, and painting between thunderstorms kept me entertained. I took 452 photos. I’m mesmerized by the sea, the sand, and all its visitors; [I] always have been.
