Port Clinton Lighthouse

purchase here

The lighthouse in Port Clinton was built in 1896 and placed at the entrance of the Portage River, where it remained active on Lake Erie for 56 years.  This is the river that runs through my parent's back yard. This winter, the ice jammed up, flooding the bottom acre, and was still there when I left town.  This lighthouse has been restored and one can climb the staircase for a wonderful view of the islands beyond.  Using my TWSBI Go fountain pen on this one!  Painting number 2246 in 2246 days.

Immaculate Conception Church

I've been through Port Clinton many times through the years, but I think this is the first time I've committed it to paint.  Full of fabulous vintage buildings, there are so many things to paint!  This jewel was across from the courthouse, and since I love historic old churches, it landed on my paper today!  I had my Watercolor Confections and a Pilot Varsity fountain pen on board today, so these are my tools for the special handmade cotton paper that I cannot be without!   Painting number 2225 in 2225 days.
