Starting - continuing - to say farewell to old friends now; making eye contact, for sure.

The drawing challenge from friend Renilde this time, on the theme 'eye contact'.  Have a look at Renilde's excellent Stroke of the Brush place for more takes on the subject.

'The lighthouse was then a silvery, misty-looking tower with a yellow eye, that opened suddenly, and softly in the evening'.

-Virginia Woolf

'To the Lighthouse'

Our Drawing Challenge this time - lighthouse - was presented to us by the amazing artist-blogger Renilde.  You would be wise to follow the beacon over to her place where more lighthouses are gleaming.  (Drawing Challenges are open to one and all; I have found them to be not only excellent fun, but a source of convivial comrades and mind expanding images).
