"Light the Way Home" — Limited Edition Print | Bass Harbor Lighthouse Watercolor | Acadia Maine Coast Art

$175.00

Available - Limited Edition of 100 | 16” x 20” Prints

After my mother passed away, I found a photograph among my parents' belongings that I had never seen before. It was of a Lighthouse, photographed from the rocks below—a perspective I had never experienced myself. I don't know when they visited or what brought them there. The photograph offered no explanation. It simply preserved a quiet moment that had mattered enough for someone to press the shutter. I painted it because, in a way, it allowed me to spend a little time there with them.

Bass Harbor Lighthouse has stood watch over one of the rockiest stretches of the Maine coast for more than a century, guiding mariners safely past the ledges and toward home. That quiet purpose has always resonated with me.

While painting, I was experimenting with new pigments, especially in the granite foreground. The colors settled into the paper in ways I hadn't expected, giving the rocks a texture and depth that felt as timeless as the coastline itself. Some paintings demand constant correction. This one seemed to know where it wanted to go.

For me, this painting became about more than a lighthouse. It's about the people who help guide us through life, and how their influence remains long after they're gone. Sometimes all it takes is an old photograph to remind us that love, memory, and the places that shaped us never really disappear.
