FAT ALBERT AND THE LIGHTHOUSE

0.0 x 0.0

Located in Pensacola, Florida is its venerable lighthouse and located a few miles behind it is the Pensacola Naval and Marine Corps Air Station. Pensacola is the home of the world renown US Navy aerobatic team the Blue Angels. Along with the Blue Angles F-18 Super Hornets is the team's C-130 transport aircraft known as "Fat Albert". On many occasions beach comers and boaters have caught glimpses of either the team of F-18 Super Hornets or of Fat Albert doing their aerobatic run throughs. For me, it is difficult to pat oneself on the back, but in this particular painting everything seems to have come together for me. If I would do this over, I would put more time into the detail work of the lighthouses glass encasement and framing.
