Sodus Bay Lighthouse in Stormy Weather

Stormy Weather Lighthouse, copyright Susan A. Walton

This is based on the Sodus Point lighthouse, on Lake Ontario in New York where weather like this is probably not unusual. I did this as a gift to a neighbor and dear friend who was the organist at the Aripeka Baptist Church here in Florida, and a late-in-life self-taught fiddle player who along with a friend who learned with her, presented my ailing father with a recording of them playing their favorite Gospel tunes. She was originally from New York, and one of her favorite hymns involves a lighthouse. She has since passed, I miss her inspiring can-do attitude and long-suffering, quiet, Christlike endurance dearly.
