I went out to the cliffs on the northern tip of the island the other day, to paint this funny old cable tower. There´s an electricity cable going from this place to the next island, and on the tower there´s a sign saying "Mind the cable" to prevent boat owners from anchoring there. The tower has been worn and torn by sunshine and storms, and it´s decay is slightly worse every year, but it is still such a beautiful landmark.
20 x 20 cm, pencil and watercolours on Saunders Waterford watercolour paper.

Gorgeous, Nina, so fresh and atmospheric all at the same time. Love the cable tower!
Nina: I love this painting. Buildings like your Cable Tower have character and a uniqueness that seems to be missing in the USA today. Everything looks pretty much the same, like out of a cookie cutter. Drive down any main street and every one has Burger King, McDonald's, Kentucky Fried Chicken. Can't tell where you are, it all looks the same.
