Well it's not really pink, it just reflects light as the sun goes down!
This is a little postcard sized painting that I did for a swap. My blogging friend Anne in Scotland organised a 'postcard' swap and people from all over the world took part. You could make a postcard in anyway you liked so I painted this postcard using sketches and photos I made on location. The light house is somewhere I often go and the making sketches imprints many things on your mind like the light and atmosphere.
My swap partner was Anne herself and she sent me a beautiful postcard that she made by needle felting.
Anne is very talented with textiles, she makes beautiful quilts and can knit so many different things.

Love how you painted the surface of the lighthouse. Did you do it wet-in-wet?
Thank you Shirley, I glazed most of the colours.
What is needle felting?
Melissa - I'm not an expert but I gather it's a process of fusing wool fibers together with a special needle, sculpting small objects or flat pictures.
I love your lighthouse and thanks for showing us another blog, love the picture and what a lovely thing to do swapping things
It's a very sweet pink lighthouse.
I love the tender colours of this lighthouse, it's a kind of subject that sometimes may appear a little melanchonic but in this case it gives me a sense of joy!
What a joyful lighthouse! It makes me wish I was near the Mediterranean Sea, especially when I look at my backyard covered in slush... Thank you for sopping by and comment.
Now I think all lighthouses should be pink - what a lovely postcard to swap! x
Gillian - If only we could paint boring concrete the colours we like, what a beautiful place the world would be!
