This original acrylic seascape painting on gallery-wrapped canvas is specially priced at $60 with free shipping within the continental US. All sides of the canvas are painted so no frame is needed.

I think everyone is captivated by the glow of a coastal lighthouse casting its beam out to sea. Many a mariner has been saved by the beacon leading them home.

According to the United States Lighthouse Society website, there were never more than about 850 lighthouses in operation at once in the U.S., although about 1,500 were constructed over the years. There were 267 constructed on the U. S. shores of the Great Lakes. Michigan had the most with about 140, followed by Maine with about 80. The first lighthouse in America was at Boston on Little Brewster Island (1716). The original tower was destroyed by the British and eventually reconstructed in 1784. According to Lighthouse Directory, there are more than 18,600 lighthouses worldwide.

It is interesting to walk through my images and discover that, even back almost 40 years ago, I was intrigued by light, shapes, and color patterns. Back then I used a 35mm Canon film camera and I find many "abstract" images in my early work. Now I am currently exploring digital art, generally beginning with one of my photographs and seeing what new creations emerge. I consider the computer desktop my canvas and PhotoShop my paints and tools. I find, in my original and digital work, that I am still leaning to abstract. Although I may give a title to the image based on my vision, the interpretation is always up to the viewer. I always hope...
