Ocracoke Lighthouse" March 23,2007

My brother and his wife honeymooned on Ocracoke Island and have returned there almost every year since. They introduced us to it's idyllic beauty. We've been there in August a few times through the years to enjoy the miles of National seashore and quaint little village. Our sons rode one speed bicycles safely all though town, played in the ocean to complete exhaustion, and ate fresh seafood like they had never tasted before.
When we ran across Duane Keiser's idea of "a painting a day", one of my first thoughts was, "I can paint lighthouses now!" I never felt like I could spend the weeks or months involved in painting a large lighthouse canvas when there were so many Adirondack paintings to be taken care of. This historic tower, built in 1823, is the second oldest operating lighthouse in the nation, but to me is a reminder of relaxing hot summer days with my family.
