Comment by Carolyn Brunsdon on November 25, 2013 at 13:03: hmmm, what little man?? I was referring to, well look again but at the right-upper section. You crack me up, little girl!

Comment by Dorian Aronson on November 25, 2013 at 12:35: Whoa! My glasses are working

I knew it was a lighthouse the other day! But did not see the little man until I viewed full size! Thank you and smiles: ))

Comment by Carolyn Brunsdon on November 25, 2013 at 11:49: I do have a thing about the lady in a red dress as my "Waiting_1" shows, but she wouldn't even be a blip that far in the distance, I'm afraid. I have found it interesting that no one saw it as a lighthouse considering this an oceanscape and the dot on a far hill! Funny, we all create our own stories...and that is what art is about so thank you! On the two whites: Zinc is also a warmer white, and while the foam is showing more yellow than is true, it is warmer than Titanium would appear. (View in Full Size, and you might find another little surprise!)

Comment by Maria Woolrich on November 25, 2013 at 11:32: Hey, this is great Carolyn. Yes, I too was drawn to the little orange,what my imagination thought was a figure. Maybe a lady in a red dress. Love your colours and composition. I was going to ask you why you used the two whites but read your answer at the bottom of the page.

Comment by Carolyn Brunsdon on November 25, 2013 at 4:00: Appreciate your comments, Julia and Jessica!

Comment by Jessica Futerman on November 24, 2013 at 21:58: Beautifully done, Carolyn! All that movement in the water & the light sparkling on the waves is wonderful!

Comment by Julia Childers on November 24, 2013 at 16:37: Powerful wave action!

Comment by Carolyn Brunsdon on November 24, 2013 at 8:33: Thanks to you both for your comments and "liking" this. Laughing here, Laura...that is a teeny, tiny lighthouse!
