Coronella Thatcher Island North Light

This hand-painted oil painting features a sturdy stone lighthouse standing proudly on a rugged coastal cliff. The lighthouse, built from mottled gray and sandy-hued stones, is depicted with rich texture and depth—each block outlined with careful brushwork that highlights its age and resilience. Its cylindrical tower rises confidently into a sky streaked with coastal light, crowned by a gleaming lantern room with panes catching the sun’s glow.

Surrounding the base of the lighthouse are windswept grasses and low, scrubby bushes, their greens and ochres brushed with impressionistic strokes. Behind, the sky unfolds in soft gradients of blue, with hints of lavender and coral suggesting either dawn’s first light or the fading glow of dusk. Below, the ocean stretches outward, painted in layers of deep blue and jade, with white-capped waves crashing lightly against the rocks.

The artist’s use of warm and cool tones creates contrast and atmosphere, while the brushwork brings a sense of movement to sky and sea. Altogether, the painting conveys a sense of steadfast solitude and guiding strength, capturing the timeless presence of the lighthouse against the elements.
