"OLDE LIGHTHOUSE POINT"

"When I was a little girl, I have memories of painting a little tiny lighthouse for my Father .
It was for Father's Day. I have always been enchanted by the mystery of lighthouses.
So many have been relocated and used as museums or other tourist attractions..no longer
shining their beacons for sailors who had been at sea... who had been through a voyage
longing to come home again.. to friends.. family .. a warm meal.. and to tell the stories of their journies.The lighthouse beacons were welcome sights for them. It is
also rather fascinating to me ...to think of the life of the lighthouse keeper.. living in the
simple close quarters of these beckoning structures. As our sons were growing up , we
spent a good deal of time on the waters of the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland.. This tiny
little painting is a simple memory of those times. "
