12x16” oil, on gallery wrapped canvas
Dice Head lighthouse, located in Castine, Maine, was first lit in 1828, and has a long and interesting history. Despite its title, the sky is the main subject in this painting. The building cumulus clouds cut dynamic negative space into the bright blue sky, and the top half of the painting feels alive with movement. In contrast, the lighthouse is bathed in sunlight from directly above, causing the sides of the house to rest in shades of cool blue and violet while the surrounding landscape sparkles.
Headed to Small Wonder Gallery in Camden, Maine for the season.
