Plymought Lighthouse Watercolor Square Paper Coaster

Experience a pale winter morning on the Massachusetts coast in this soothing watercolor painting of Plymouth Light in Winter. Using clean white, subtle grays, pale yellows, and cool blues, this watercolor painting recreates a frigid midwinter view of Gurnet Light’s iconic tower. Originally built in 1768, Plymouth Light was one of two lighthouses on Gurnet Point. The pictured octagonal pyramid tower was constructed in 1842 after the previous towers collapsed. To capture this historical landmark in the winter sun, the artist uses subtle shadows in gray and blue, artfully highlighting the structure’s unique architecture. Bright reds, blues, and greens contrast brilliantly against the sun-bleached winter landscape, while skeletal branches and shadowed fence posts in the foreground provide a unique glimpse of Plymouth Bay.
