Renée Gerstner is an artist who lives near the sea and is well known for her charming paintings of penguins, whales, seabirds, a penguin riding a bicycle (!), beach scenes, and now this lighthouse. In miniature. She has taken to painting fountain pens as if she had been doing it for years. We love her clean uncluttered lines, her gradation of colour from blue to sunshine yellow, and the sheer happiness that beams out of this painting. Lana mixed a custom resin in kapow-red that matches the red at the top of the lighthouse and the flag atop the yacht’s mast.
