Description
The lighthouse at Yaquina Bay, Oregon, has been nicely restored and furnished in the style of the period (1870s) when the lighthouse was in use and occupied by a family.
The peaches aren't real, of course, but everything else is meant to be authentic to the time.
Postworked to produce the look of an oil painting, further reflecting the historical nature of the image.
1600 images in my gallery now! Many thanks to those of you who view, comment and favorite my work. I've met so many good friends here (and married one of them!), and after four and a half years, I'm still not bored. You all make this the best art site around!

Gosh! Tempus fugit, and all that stuff. This is so lovely,and most convincingly in period. I like this site very much too, such variety and interest and really great folk!

Your lighting as always is magical; not just the warmth of the peaches, but the circles of the bowl rims moving out concentrically and the line of the ?tray? bisecting the vertical space. Really nicely done, Tara!

Lovely photo and postwork, Tara! Those peaches just make this image - real or not. Wonderful warm tones.. Congrats on the big 1600! I completely agree with you - the folks here just rock!

Really beautiful, the tones are so rich. You should pick up a myrtle wood bowl while you are in the area!

What a way to celebrate 1600! And what a marvelous oil-painting-photo-oil-painting thing. That's what I love about digital art: you can blur boundaries and do wonderful stuff like oilpaint a photo, and I must say that you've done so incredibly well here. The whole image is so visually warm and rich and nicely aged, rather like a fine wine. This rocks. I'm looking forward to 1600 more.
