The National Arts for the Parks held a contest in 1986 for the images to be shown on the first National Park Stamp. This was one of the six winners and appeared on the 1987 stamp. My intention was to show that the Hatteras Lighthouse was in danger of falling from beach erosion or a major hurricane ........hence the title, "Hatteras Standing". The painting was shown in the Great Hall of the Smithsonian and presented to George Bush in the Whitehouse. President Bush (then Vice-President), told me he used to fly over the lighthouse in his days of flight training in Norfolk. As this is written, the lighthouse is being moved inland to a safer position.
