Stormy Skies
Having past the red buoy, the Annapolis
leg of the Whitbread
race is officially
under way-stormy
clouds or not! The
boats are headed for
the Chesapeake Bay
Bridge connecting
the Annapolis area
to the Eastern Shore
of Maryland. Loyld can
remember the bridge
being built after
World War II when
she
was staying with her
grandparents at
Gibson Island,
located north of the
bridge at the mouth
of the Magothy
River. My
grandfather was not
happy with this
engineering feat,
knowing that the
Eastern Shore would
never be the same
again. How right he
was!

Keeper Originals: Watercolor Paintings and Prints was formed in 2003 after the artist, Lloyd Childers, left her lighthouse
keeping duties on the
Outer Banks and retired to Hampstead, NC, near Wilmington, to begin painting in earnest. After a career in State Government, she moved to Corolla on the Outer Banks as the lighthouse keeper for Currituck Beach Lighthouse and executive director of
Outer Banks Conservationists, Inc., the nonprofit group that restored the keepers' house, lighthouse and
lighthouse compound in Corolla. Having been a "keeper" for five years and hoping that her paintings would be "keepers" the name Keeper Originals seemed fitting. Lloyd enjoys the watercolor medium for her paintings, which she has professionally reproduced in art prints of various sizes and note cards. The art prints are handsomely matted to fit standard sized frames.
