Analysis of My New Painting, Lighthouse Landscape

Lighthouse Landscape
Original Fine Art Painting
Acrylic on canvas mounted on wood stretcher bars
20.4 by 25.5 cm, 8 by 10 inches

This is my most recent painting. The focal point is the lighthouse and particularly the top of the lighthouse. It has the darkest dark and the lightest light. It is almost one third from the right side of the canvas. The lighthouse and main activity are in right horizontal rabatment (the right square of rectangle). The lighthouse has a vertical thrust to show strength. There are horizontal edges, i.e. the horizon line, to provide contrast. Most of the large shapes move towards the lighthouse. In this painting, I have again almost merged the sky and water.

I have not yet posted this painting on my Etsy internet shop. I have posted posters, prints, cards and postcards on my Zazzle shop. Zazzle’s 60% off prints and posters sale continues. Bags are 30% off. See my shop announcement. I bought the budget bag, “After the Dance” at an earlier sale. My friends and I all admire this bag. I will make a new bag with the painting, Lighthouse Landscape, so people can take advantage of the sale. http://www.zazzle.com/arlenebabadartist*
