History of a Painting -
Set of 4 - Florida Lighthouses.
Acrylic Paintings by Larry Johnston©
Since I spent my Winter months in the southern States, much of it in Florida, I painted a number of Florida Lighthouses. They became popular in the areas of each lighthouse and as I painted more, I sold other lighthouse prints. Eventually, I combined them into a set of 4, which became a big seller.
I was able to change the mat colors to dark blue, light blue, green, burgundy, black and red. The frames were a choice of black, white, light oak, and burgundy. Most of the light house sets were done in the light blue with the natural oak frame.
I put the sets together while they either waited or shopped. They came complete, ready to hang, with glass and hangers included.
The horizontal image above includes, (From left to right), St. Augustine, Jupiter, Cape Canaveral and Key Biscayne.
The Key Biscayne light house was originally white, but with decades of wind and rain, the paint wore off, giving it the natural brick color. Since I painted it, they have restored the color back to the original white.
