About This Image

Cockspur Island Light At Night – Georgia Coast Canvas Print by Mark Tisdale.

This Georgia coast canvas print features Cockspur Island Light – Georgia’s smallest lighthouse. The history of a light at this location goes back to a brick daymarker built in the 1830’s. Although not the first lighthouse on Cockspur Island, the current structure dates to 1855 and miraculously survived the bombardment of nearby Fort Pulaski in 1862. Its years as an active aid to navigation ended in 1909 when traffic to the port of Savannah shifted to the north channel which could handle larger ships. In recent years, the light has been the subject of restoration efforts and was re-lit in 2007. There was originally a keeper’s cottage at Cockspur Island Lighthouse but it was lost long ago.

This is not my first artwork featuring Cockspur Island light. It’s such a pretty subject that it’s difficult not to revisit it and I had imagined it on a starry night on the Georgia Coast and that’s how I depicted it. The skies above are a wash with the milky way and there’s a warm happy glow from the lantern of the lighthouse as well as the windows suggesting long ago times when the lighthouse was manned. Maybe the ghosts of the past are keeping the lights on?

When I see this scene, I can hear the sounds of the night and it feels magical. How about you? What attracts you to this Georgia coast canvas print? Are you a lighthouse lover in general or do you have a fondness for this wee lighthouse specifically?

How Can I Help?

At the end of the day, it’s important to me that you can put a face with the art you’re considering purchasing through my site. Aside from the print vendor who ultimately prints and ships your order, this is a one man show. The person who made the art is the same one who is typing this message and the one who will answer your questions if you drop me a note.

You are not a number and I care that you are happy with whatever art you might buy here. I’m here if you’d like to ask questions before or after purchasing. And I’m also happy to work with you where possible to customize the work you’re buying. Maybe you’d like a tweak to the shape of a print to fit in with your existing wall art. Or you’d like to add a little nod to someone special in it? Just ask! I also keep a running list of subjects I don’t currently have but people are seeking. So if you enjoy the style of my work but didn’t find quite what you were looking for, please do let me know.

I’ve been an artist for 15 years now and most of that time it’s been my full-time passion. And it matters to both the endorphins in my brain and the food I put on the table for me (and my cats) that you find the experience of purchasing the products offered here to be a pleasure.
