Emilie Beckwith's watercolor interpretation of Norm's The Portland Headlight in South Portland, Maine.

Emilie has livened up the colors."

Emilie Beckwith's watercolor interpretation of Norm's Tic Tac Toe Barn. Norm explains: "I saw the O tire blocking the X horizontal win. I also saw X was cheating with an extra turn which will result in a vertical win. Emilie has creatively colorized the scene--and it still looks like X wins by cheating. You just can't trust those barn doors!"
