I just painted this in acrylic with mostly a palette knife. I’ve painted with that tool before, and I always enjoy the textures it brings out (can’t see them very well here). This is for a friend of mine and her husband, who have had a really rough time of it the last couple of years (though their marriage still stands strong)! They love lighthouses and live just outside the Outer Banks, so I thought I’d surprise them with this somewhat abstract little piece…
