Description

"The 'North Head Lighthouse' rises above the Pacific Ocean one mile north of the mouth of the Columbia River that divides Washington and Oregon . The waters here are so very treacherous that two lighthouses were erected to warn mariners. It's sister beacon is Cape Disappointment Light Station at Illwaco, Washington."

Artist Comments: "This is North Head Lighthouse, north of the Columbia River near Long Beach, Washington State. I chose the viewpoint from the hill above the lighthouse. My first painting of this beacon was one of a grey, overcast day, with the light beaming through the misty fog. This one is the extreme opposite. The day is warm and sunny, illuminating the tower with a strong glow. The grasses in the foreground are bending in a gentle breeze. Gouache seemed to be the best media to paint this second version of North Head. The water-based media lends itself to the ambience of softness and luminosity."
