Portland Head Lighthouse Drawing


This is my new colored pencil drawing that I have just finished recently of the Portland Head Lighthouse in Portland, Maine. I will soon be adding this drawing to my Maine box of Lighthouse Cards. It was a very nice experience photographing scenes in Maine. It is such a beautiful state and the coast line is spectacular!
