All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy, for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter into another.

Well, I have gotten around to adding the final touches to this little painting of a lighthouse.  I decided to brighten the bushes right up against the lighthouse even though my source photo didn't show the sun shining so brightly on that particular spot.  I think it helps to make the lighthouse stand out even more from the dark bushes.  Yep, still working on those darks and lights!
