Watercolor painting of Newport Harbor Lighthouse
The Newport Harbor Lighthouse is a picturesque granite block tower situated on Goat Island in Newport Harbor, Rhode Island. Built in 1842, the lighthouse now has an electric light to notify ships of a reef just yards off Goat Island. It used to have a keepers house but a submarine damaged the foundation and it was removed! 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.
