Corbiere Lighthouse

Being a Jersey boy it was inevitable that I would draw Corbiere Lighthouse. The lighthouse was a friendly sight to Sailors and myself; for Sailors as it warded them off the nearby rocks that presented danger to boats at low tide; and for me as it signaled the end of the infamous Jersey Railway Walk and the imminent reward of ice cream for my hard work.

I have put my own spin replacing the Western Lighthouse style with a traditional Mid Century Japanese Lighthouse. The Japanese Lighthouse has the most wonderful Lampshade design, and I enjoyed drawing the village who maintains it.

Detail is important to me and in particular capturing the shape of the rocks, the shadows and plant life that surrounds them.
