Barnegat Light House, NJ 1928

I found an old historic book of my fathers with photos of New Jersey back in 1928. Several captured my fancy but this one I did as a pencil sketch. Old Barnie, she is still called. The light house has been restored and is a historical site. Another note, Barnie has something in common with a famous Italian landmark, "The leaning tower of Pizza", she is leaning.

I like this one...

I like the simplicity of this one. There's no fuss, and yet your eyes are immediately drawn up the path to the lighthouse. It makes you wonder what's beyond.

Hi Joe

Thank you so much for sharing this drawing, it would have to be one of my favorites. I love the way the drawing looks simple yet detailed. Thank you, also, for the great story you provided.
