Yesterday afternoon at north head lighthouse, an 18 x 24 that I returned too several afternoons, the light shifts so frequently here im finding I typically can only work on a painting for an hour or so before having to start a new one.

Yesterday efforts in the am and into the early afternoon, 3 11 x 14s, scroll right to see the weather change from foggy to partially sunny. I included the informational displays in the foregrounds of the first two paintings, they have a very bright cerulean blue and magenta representation of the lighthouse. Not sure if it works but I liked the idea of including a representation and reality. They’re twofers. Many historical sites include displays like this, they’re so anti-aesthetic imho and I don’t understand the appeal or design, it seems like the info would be better delivered in a pamphlet, but different strokes for different folks I guess.

The lighthouse keepers home at North Head Lighthouse. In between serious paintings I’ve been doing small 9 x 12s, I allow myself only an hour to complete each one. I set the timer on my phone. Not sure why but I have rules too, don’t fuss with proportions and perspective, don’t give a damn, don’t slow down, no careful details, mash the paint around, and savor the color. They’re fun. I remember years ago Neil Riley came to the academy and gave a talk, he said “art is what you do on your way to make art.” These feel a bit like that, I have so little invested that interesting things sometimes happen.

The weather held out this am and I was able to wrap up this painting. I got absolutely dumped on in the pm, umbrellas didn’t help. My first session on this painting was full sun and today there were clouds so there was less ambient light and the shadows were deeper. I like the added contrast. I realize it’s odd to cut off the tip of the tower when that’s the part everyone wants in a lighthouse painting, no double entendre intended, but I’ve painted all the iconic views I can muster for the moment. I typically enjoy chatting with passersby but have grown tired of all the same comments over and over, not sure what’s going on with me, but I feel like it’s Groundhog Day all over again. Nice painting. Thanks. Nice painting. Thanks. Is that oil or acrylic. Did you go to art school? Is this a hobby or a career. Or the landscape painter who thinks he knows something about something and wants to offer me unsolicited tips. And it’s usually a he. Dude, let’s have a paint off. Seriously. Then picture the dad posing in a hilarious way and saying paint me in. It’s usually a big guy. I’ve got the perfect response to that one. It took me years to fine tune. “Hey, I only do nudes, so….” They’re always embarrassed. Painters don’t steal my line. Will be back to my chipper self soon, probably. At Yaquina Head Lighthouse.
