Original artwork description:

This painting captures the drama of Point Reyes Lighthouse atop a rugged cliff. Point Reyes is, by official records, the windiest and foggiest on the Pacific Coast. Therefore, on this rare occasion of a clear view, I was moved by the stark imagery of the lighthouse on the edge of a rocky cliff surrounded by great waves crashing around. It inspired me to create a composition that evokes a sense of both strength and vulnerability, as the lighthouse stands firm against the elements, a beacon of hope amidst the wild beauty of nature.

Materials used in creating this artwork: Professional quality oil paint on Oil-Primed Extra-Fine Linen on ACM (Aluminum Composite Material) panel. ACM panel consists of two strong sheets of aluminum bonded to a solid polyethylene core. The panel is coated on one side with a white polyester coil coating and a mill (polished aluminum) finish on the other side. ACM art panels offer a superior support for painting and mounting because ACM panels are virtually unaffected by environmental changes, such as relative humidity (RH) and temperature.

The oil painting surface is protected with a coat of Gamvar varnish. It is unframed and will require a frame to hang on the wall. The image showing the artwork framed is for presentation of potential framing idea only. Frame is not included. It can easily slot into a standard 16"x20" frame.

Materials used:

oil paint, linen canvas, aluminum composite material, ACM panel, Gamvar varnish
