This is a lovely piece of work, and it's clearly made with an image model rather than painted by hand. The soft watercolor washes, the pale pink and lilac sky, and the sun low over the water all feel like a sunrise or sunset on a cool coast. The lighthouse is a classic New England-style tower: a red cylindrical body, a white lantern gallery with a dark red dome, and a white keeper's cottage with a red roof tucked against its base. The rocks at the bottom right are drawn with loose ink lines, which gives the scene a sketchbook quality. One small detail to notice: the sun is not quite the sun. Look at the glow near the horizon, where the water picks up the same colors, and you can see how the artist (or the model) used reflections to tie sea and sky together.
If you want to know more about real lighthouses like this one, the red-brick towers with white keeper's houses are common along the Maine, Massachusetts and Rhode Island coasts, and the Pacific Northwest has its own versions. Tell us where you'd like to see one, or share a photo of a lighthouse you've visited and what it was like to stand beside it.
