The mystique of the lighthouse keeper and his domain is an intriguing idea for a painting. Whenever I see a lighthouse, I feel a strong connection to history. This piece required research — from the lightkeeper's uniform to the lighthouse and even the vintage schooner. I wanted to capture the energy of the ocean contrasting with the placidity of the land. I wanted the viewer to feel the ocean breezes and imagine the crunch of the pebbles under their feet. Lynn's description is beautifully written: "When turbulent feelings emerge, greet them with compassion. Don't struggle to swim against the tide, but use its power to help you find balance and buoyancy. “ Pictured are the actual card, the card art, the drawing, and a detail from the original watercolor painting. #lighthousekeeper #pastoraltarot #pastoral #kingofcups #blacklighthousekeepers #watercolorart #tarotdeck #tarotartist #lisahunt #lisahuntart #tarotcardoftheday #tarotcardsdaily #watercolor #watercolorartist #watercolorillustration #artistsofinstagram #fairytalecorners #usgamesinc #usgames #colorfulynn https://www.instagram.com/p/CloX1jGuHwA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
