SPA - LIGHTHOUSE

Pitt Pen and Inktense Pencils - Jez Eden
'Lighthouses' is the theme for Sunday Postcard Art this week, which makes this the second lighthouse I've painted in the last week or so.  The other one is a couple of posts back.

This was one of those drawings where I didn't know what I was going to do when I started.  I liked the idea of doing doodly waves crashing on the rocks, and it grew upwards bit by bit from there.  The grey sky spaces asked for something to be written there, so I made up this little poem about the lighthouse:

THE LIGHTHOUSE 

How many lives I've saved I cannot say,
From rocks and reefs along the way.
Who needed me I do not care:-
Enough to know that I was there.

Linking to Sunday Postcard Art,

  7. There is something very enticing about lighthouses, I would love to live in one, although the practicality of all those stairs would probably be a nuisance. still i can still dream the romantic vision :)
