I guess this is an art journal now

It occurred to me that the spatter effect from the last painting might work as snow, so I did another lighthouse, as you do.



I like that it came out looking like the illustration for an old book -- something from before 1950, if not actually To the Lighthouse or Elizabeth Taylor's A View of the Harbour. Some lesser-know contemporary with one brief scene of ambiguous magical or divine intervention towards the end. And somebody dies in an overturned rowboat, but not much is made of it.

This was my afternoon project. I spent the morning making a video about LaRose with J. and K for J's literature class.

An exciting new atmospheric river has arrived in the province. Just now the rain is like rice being shaken on a tin tray. The weather app is willing to commit to 100% chance of rain for the next 48 hours.

Your lighthouses are lovely! Great symbolism for these times, too. Good luck with the atmospheric river...

Thank you!

You know, I hadn't articulated it until you said it, but I do feel like the blogs and podcasts people put out right now are these small blinking lights in a storm.

Oh, it's so beautiful! It looks like it's throwing up its light with joy.
