The story
In August of 2022, when it was super hot and super humid in Japan, I left the island of Kyushu and travelled to the island of Shikoku.
They are next to one another.
This was my summer holiday painting trip and I was very excited.
I was staying on the island of Shikoku for several days and I would be traveling around the prefecture of Ehime.
The big highlight of the trip though would be the lighthouse that is situated at the end of a long narrow peninsula.
It is the narrowest peninsula in Japan.
The beginning of my trip was as exciting as I could have hoped.
The ferry ride over was amazing.
It was windy and as I arrived in Shikoku I got a very dramatic view of the lighthouse itself.
Then the drive along the peninsula was an adventure all in itself.
Although the lighthouse was not quite as amazing as I hoped, I was able to get some great shots of it.
I also used my drone. And later at home, with a lot of creativity, I produced some paintings of the lighthouse that I am really happy with.
In this first chapter you see my trip to the lighthouse as well as my painting of the lighthouse.
At the end of the video, I show several paintings that I have done of this lighthouse.
The originals are available to buy. Just contact me on discord.
