    Bonsoir cher ami,

    En cette période de l'année je suis souvent très occupée et j'essaie aussi de profiter de la belle saison. Toutefois, je me suis octroyée un petit moment plaisir et je ne sais pas si ce sont vos phares qui m'ont guidée ! oh surement que oui !!... Je ne regrette pas ce joli détour. Quel artiste extraordinaire vous êtes !
    Je vous embrasse,

    Hi Michael, how wonderful that there is a special day to celebrate lighthouses! They deserve it! I love all your lighthouse paintings - the first and third particularly grab my attention. The light on the waves in the third painting are spectacular! They are all great!
    your "Happy to see you posting again" art buddy,
    Wendy

    Your lighthouse paintings are so appealing - and I can see your love for them shining through. Hope your shoulder is well enough to allow you to get back to the easel as your desire. You are meant to be a painter!

    Very Cool Michael. Leave it to you to celebrate the holidays most of us have not heard of and a good one you have chosen. It is in the spirit of Edward Hopper and so many other artists who have painted the venerable house of light, the beacon of many a seafarer!
    I like the view in the 5th down with the lighthouse tucked behind the hill. Love that you have painted so many. We have a couple here near me. I shall have to paint them too.
    Keep painting ('dem lights)... just keep painting...

      Hey David! I am constantly thinking of you and your hot dry and dangerous weather! I so hope things improve for everyone in California and most of the west now! I am so glad you mentioned Edward Hopper! One of my favorites! I am glad you like my work David. Means so much to me! I am eager to see you paint a lighthouse! I am sure it would be spectacular! Hope your show is going well!
      "Keep The Lights Burning Abby!" A great true children's book about a young and very brave lighthouse keeper!
