This is the second painting I have created of the beautiful Pumpkin Island Light silhouetted by brilliant setting sunlight. The first was small and square and did not include the surrounding water. This one shows the view that you see when standing on the farthest westward point of Little Deer Isle, looking west as the sun sets. From there one can see a long stretch of water, a thin strip of rocks and land, and finally the little island the lighthouse is on. I love how you can see the glowing sunlight in some of the back windows. I can only imagine how beautiful it must be to be in that light house, looking out on the sea as the sun sets.
