Lighthouses and Tulips

Looking around The Gift Shop I was struck by a couple of bright and recurring themes: lighthouses and tulips.
Lighthouses are iconic and nostalgic sights in Michigan. Patricia Petro (PETR) has created watercolor images of some well-known lighthouses. Here are three of her matted and framed original pieces.

"Fort Gratiot Lighthouse"

"Waugoshance Shoal Lighthouse"

"White Shoal Lighthouse"

Tulips will soon be blooming. Here at The Gift Shop they are in full-flower!
Mary Kelleher-Tassone (TASS) has painted and framed bright beautiful tulips on silk.

Helena Kuttler-Giasson (KUTT) has a series of hand painted flowers in her very distinctive style. Here is one with Dutch tulips.

(Remember, the letters in parentheses after each artist's name show their code. When you see that code on work in The Gift Shop, you will know who created it.)
