dedicated to Joe Nathan

I loved this stamp from the first time I saw it when someone used it on a Technique Junkies technique. I had to have it so I ordered it from lasting impressions with panache. I am dedicating this piece to Joe Nathan who is extremely talented in designing scenes (especially lighthouse scenes) mainly with rubber stamps. I have learned a lot from just looking at his artwork. Looking at his work inspired this design.

I love masking and am kind of proud of this design. It incorporated six different stamps. This is my first attempt at creating scenes but certainly not my last. Coloring was done with PanPastels which is by far now my favorite way to color. I had worked on it fora couple of l hours and was getting pretty tired when I realized that I placed the birds in flight exactly where I had planned on putting the always and forever!! OOOPPPSSS! Oh well Plan B! Of course I had to play around in Photoshop so the frame is completely digital but the picture is 100% authentic. Hope you enjoyed your visit!
