Pt Robinson Lighthouse in the Moonlight SOLD

12 x 12 original oil painting of the moon shining down on the Pt Robinson lighthouse on Vashon Island.  The beacon in the lightroom competes with the moonlight and the reflection off the water.  A view east towards Seattle and SeaTac.  This painting is mounted on a cream colored backer board and mounted in a narrow warm silver wooden frame.  On my ETSY store

 

Night Moon Lighthouse SOLD

A 12x15 painting of the Vashon Pt. Robinson Lighthouse in the moonlight.  The lighthouse park is actually closed after sunset, so don't tell anyone I was there after dark!   On my ETSY store

Lighthouse at Night SOLD

Almost night at the Point Robinson Lighthouse on Maury Island.  The 1915 Fresnel lens inside the lightroom was working until 2008 when it was replaced by a less romantic plastic beacon mounted on the walkway atop the tower.  I moved the light back into the lightroom and also moved the modern radar tower just a little bit to the right until it left the painting altogether.  I like the moodiness of the scene.  This painting will be in the Vashon Island Art Studio Tour the first two weekends of December at the Pink House in Burton 23819 Vashon Hwy SW.  Make plans to come and see. 

Pt. Robinson Lighthouse SOLD

A sunny day view of the Point Robinson lighthouse looking up from the beach.  I will be showing this one at the Art Studio Tour at Stop # 8, Dockton Pottery - opposite the old Dockton store.  First two weekends in May.   May 5 & 6 and May 12 & 13, from 10am to 5 p.m.  Please stop by.

Pt Robinson Lighthouse from the West

A painting of the Point Robinson Lighthouse on Maury Island Washington as seen from the west. There are actually two buildings in this view, one in front of the other. The building in the front is a small shed that was used to store the flammable fuel that powered the lighthouse beacon in the olden days. There is still a light at the lighthouse, but it is plastic, automated and mounted outside the lantern room. Next to the buildings in the painting, there is also a newer 100 foot tower for radar and gps signals. I moved that tower slightly until it was just out of the picture. It's OK, I have a license to do that.   ON my ETSY store

Pt Robinson Lighthouse in Gray

A view of the Pt Robinson lighthouse from the shore.  This is a rework of a painting I painted last year. Below is the previous incarnation.

In the newer (top) version, I like the color of the sky better and the foreground doesn't seem so overwhelmingly brown.  But there was a lot of dashing brushwork and drama in the earlier version.  To me, the older version seems like a sketch and the newer version seems like a painting.
