Moonlit Coastal Storm and Lighthouse

More about Moonlit Coastal Storm and Lighthouse

An oil painting of a dramatic night landscape featuring a coastal scene. In the foreground, turbulent dark blue and grey waves with frothy white crests crash violently against a rocky shore and a seaward pier. In the midground, a tall, cylindrical lighthouse with alternating white and dark bands stands on the pier, its lantern room brightly illuminated. Adjacent to the lighthouse are several small buildings with orange-red roofs, lit windows, and dark walls. In the background, the vast, dark ocean extends to the horizon, where two small sailboats are visible. Above, the night sky is filled with heavy, dark grey and blue clouds partially illuminated by a bright full moon high in the upper left, casting a soft glow and subtle light rays onto the clouds and water. The overall palette consists of deep blues, blacks, whites, and touches of warm orange light from the lighthouse and buildings.
