| "Cape Disappointment
Light Station"
"Sometimes the afternoon clouds glow with the passing of a storm and seem to be lit from within. High on a windswept cliff, the 'Cape Disappointment' light station is touched by the sunlight that makes the whole scene magically luminous."
ARTIST COMMENT "Cape Disappointment Light Station and its companion light, North Head Lighthouse, are both visible from the Pacific Ocean off Washington State's southern-most coast. I have painted each of these beacons in grey, foggy conditions. This past summer, I visited them again, and the weather was sunny and ideal. I researched "Cape D" (as it is affectionately known) from the beach north of the headland. I decided to do the gouache painting in an impressionistic style to bring out the feeling of warmth and comfort the lighthouse conveys as the sun sinks in the West, and a blustery night is about to take over." |
