Portland Head Light In The Snow – Winter Night Canvas Print

This original winter night canvas print features historic Portland Head Light in the snow. This Maine landmark is a popular subject for art so it’s always a little daunting to tackle a subject that’s probably been photographed and painted from every angle and in every season, etc. But I genuinely love old lighthouses, so Portland Head Light was a subject I had to do at least once. I often depict lighthouses on rainy nights, and maybe some day I will do another of Portland Head Light like that, but right now, it’s winter and I love the magic of snow blanketing the earth so I thought a snowy night scene would be perfect. I feel like you can almost see your breath when you look at this wintry view of Portland Head Light. Yet there’s something particularly warming about the golden glow of the lighthouse and the windows of the keeper’s cottage.

And there have probably been many winter nights where you could have seen Portland Head Light in the snow as depicted here. After all, it’s Maine’s oldest lighthouse. It was completed in 1791 and was commissioned by none other than George Washington. Although still an active nautical beacon, the light was automated in 1989. The keeper’s cottage has since been put into use as a maritime museum. The light was added to the United States National Register of Historic Places in 1973. So there’s no question it’s got a long and pedigreed past.

What attracted you to this Portland Head light canvas print? Were you looking for a print featuring Maine in the snow? I hope you’ll share what catches your attention most in this wintry artwork of the historic Portland Head Light.

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.
