"GG's Pool" East Dennis, Cape Cod Bay (24x30)
My father-in-law, Stafford, commissioned me to paint a picture of a lighthouse. He specifically asked that it not be an existing lighthouse which someone could look at and say, "Oh, that's at Nantucket" or "I remember....that's the lighthouse we saw in Maine!" He wanted one that was unique for him. Well, at East Dennis Beach on Cape Cod (the favorite beach for he and my mother-in-law, Pat there is a peninsula on which someone had built a large house. Using my artist's liberty, I removed the house (so sorry to the folks that live there) and in its place.....the new "East Dennis Lighthouse"!! By the way, to my father-in-law's surprise, I took the liberty of putting the two them, Stafford and Pat, on the beach as well!
