Trying to pick a post card image for my trip....

I am soon off to Monhegan Island for a Tim Horn painting workshop and to hang with the great workshop gang filled with super painters!   I want to make a postcard to give to my pals and island visitors and I am trying to decide which painting to feature this year.  I usually just pile my free post card the lobby of The Monhegan House Inn and guests and tourists can help themselves! Let me know which one you would pick up if you saw them around the island during your stay...

Monhegan Light Bell - Saturday morning.



I think I'll make this in to a postcard.  Let me know if you want me to mail you one.  The Monhegan Island, Maine lighthouse keepers home, and that great bell on the hilltop front lawn. Some lights are at on the seashore, others are on the highest point.  Monhegan light is on the highest point overlooking this painters island 14 miles off the Maine coast.  The green patina on the bell shines in the morning light, the mainland & Port Clyde in the background.  The light sweeps the dark [not much electricity and no cars to light the dirt roads] over the island every night.  No lighthouse keeper anymore.  It is controlled by radio transmission from the Coast Guard Station in Portland.
