Thank you Barbara, Yes, This was painted en plein air in Greenpoint. I had just been splashed by a huge wave and had given up painting to chat to a friend when the mist rolled in again and this was my view of the lighthouse. The buildings behind it almost obliterated. The old and the new. I quickly unpacked and started painting all over again!!!

It's wonderful. You certainly captured the scene. I used to love listening to the fog horn on misty nights. Jean
The Courtyard Hotel was the venue for our painting out in the open for a while. The painting of Deveils Peak was painted at the same location. I need more practice with buildings! We are painting in the Company Gardens at the moment and I am getting lots of practice in. Strange how the window is not centred in this building, but that is the way it is.
We spent two Tuesday mornings in the Company Gardens in central Cape Town. The first day I tried to paint this and failed dismally. The next week I used charcoal in an attempt to capture the architectural beauty of the building. Now I must try to paint it again! I love charcoal!
