I had an old piece of beadboard paneling that I wanted to use for a base for a painting. First, I cut it to fit an old frame that I had. It took me a while to figure out a subject to use. At first, I was going to do corbels from a nola house. It occurred to me that the bead board had a nautical quality and the lighthouse inspiration hit me. This is a view of the Madisonville lighthouse. It's a view from before Katrina because most of the trees and vegetation are gone now. The frame was originally red. A customer at Clayton House Marketplace wanted the frame in the cream color. Too bad they never came back for it.
