Lighthouses & Seascapes

For a number of years, most of my paintings were of lighthouses that I had visited in New England and Canada’s Maritime Provinces, as well as on Long Island. A few of my favorites are displayed in this section.

Located in Rockland, ME, the breakwater and the original lighthouse were built in 1888. The lighthouse was rebuilt in 1902 and consists of a 25' tower set on the roof of the keeper's house. I took this photo while on an art cruise on the three-masted schooner, Victory Chimes; the waves in the foreground are from the ship's bow.
