more about turnberry

so here's some more about turnberry - i don't know if i made it clear that the lighthouse was built on the remains of the castle of robert the bruce. the lighthouse itself was built by robert louis stevenson's father!! - wow!! - and after looking at my first painting of the lighthouse i want to subdue it a bit - i think it just stands out too much - especially for the weather in scotland. as for today's painting...my son spent the night and this morning we were watching the open and i asked.."what should i paint today?" -without a beat he said" tom watson" - and so i've found a good visual image to work from - but i didn't get it accomplished today - we had our annual "clifty cup" golf tounrament and a family gathering so i'll try and finish tom tomorrow before we leave for the lake...happy saturday everyone!
