Inspired by Eugène Boudin (1824 – 1898) – Honfleur’s lighthouse (around 1854 – 1860) – Charcoal / Pastel on grey paper – 9,45 x 12,60 inch
Every morning since 10 years, Georges takes a walk around the lighthouse. He particularly enjoys its wild and frightening side, mostly on stormy days. The raging sea takes its last waves to death near the shore. The bells ring off the charts and the lantern swings endlessly to warn sailors from dangerous reefs. As a matter of fact, the spot can be fatal. Old people tell all kind of scary stories about this legendary place. Georges,author, has tried many times to write a book on this topic however he never made it. Tongues loosen over a drink but quickly freeze once home. He has tested useless different approaches in the last years. He finally gave up and performs his daily pilgrimage instead.
