I recently finished a painting derived from a picture I took while visiting Fort Macon in Atlantic Beach, NC. I believe Fort Macon was constructed in the early 1700’s and served prominent roles in the American Revolution, Civil War, WWI and even WWII. My view of Fort Macon is one interpretation of a view seen by multitudes of men over a course of 300 years. What I saw was an interesting landscape of twisted and winding trees offset by a brilliant blue sky. At different points in time this same view might have had pirates storming the fortress or a brilliant blue sky replaced by exploding mortar fire.
