Watercolor painting of Dutch Island Lighthouse
A perfect little lighthouse on its own island in Narragansett Bay, the Dutch Island Lighthouse is now non-operational and home to birds and other tiny creatures. In its past life the island housed military forts and other fortifications. The lighthouse was established in 1827 to aid navigation in the West passage. Perfect for the lighthouse lover and history buff, this watercolor painting captures the quaint beauty of this lighthouse using texture, color and delicate linework.
9" x 12" watercolor and archival ink on 100% cotton paper.
Care of Watercolor Paintings
Watercolor portraits should be matted and framed to protect the fragile nature of watercolor. The professional watercolors used have different light fast qualities however, all watercolor paintings should be displayed away from direct sunlight, as they will eventually fade if not carefully protected.
