The is an oil painting showcasing a natural landscape featuring a lighthouse. The lighthouse is tall with a white body, and its top is capped with a red roof. It's situated to the right of the composition and surrounded by foliage and trees. A path of crushed stones and seashells leads towards the lighthouse, flanked by grass and bushes, and it's dotted with shadows that suggest the presence of overhead clouds or trees outside the frame of the painting. The brushwork is expressive with visible strokes, lending texture and a sense of movement to the scene. The use of light and shadow creates depth, drawing the viewer's eye towards the lighthouse. The color palette is predominantly green, blue, and earth tones, conveying a serene daytime setting.

Since getting married on the beach in Cape May Point in June 2021, I have been back to this beautiful peninsula every summer and have always wanted to paint the iconic 157-foot Cape May Lighthouse located within Cape May Point State Park. I am drawn to the simple lines of the lighthouse and the interplay between the man-made structure and its surroundings in the natural world.
