New Painting - West Chop Lighthouse-Martha's Vineyard and a punny art joke

Here is my latest painting as of 6/20/11 - The West Chop Lighthouse on Martha's Vineyard. This is as view from the ferry a it passes by on the way to Vineyard Haven. This is from a photo I took on a absolutely gorgeous, no cloud in the sky day about 4 in the afternoon.

An artist needs a sense of humor to navigate in the world, so here's one that came my way. I love punny stuff and this is full of them. (This is a personal issue, of course!)

A thief in Paris stole paintings from the Louvre & almost made it safely, but his van ran out of gas. When asked how he could make such an obvious error, he replied, 'Monsieur, that is the reason I stole the paintings.'
I had no Monet
To buy Degas
To make the Van Gogh.'
So if you have De Gaulle to send this on to someone else.
I sent it to you because I figured I had nothing Toulouse .....
