Description

Browns Point Lighthouse is not the typical mariners� beacon. It is industrial looking, square and made of no-frills concrete. This tower was erected in 1933 during the height of the Great Depression. Regardless of the troubled economic times, it was vital to protect shipping lanes in and out of Commencement Bay in Tacoma. It actually has an almost art deco appearance.

It is fully automated and the crown was replaced with an open beacon and cameras to direct traffic in the harbor.

A group of very dedicated folks keep the grounds in good shape and the lightkeeper�s quarters are now offered as week-long rentals for those who wish to experience the feel of being a lightkeeper.

Browns Point lies at 47.30591 latitude and -122.44429 longitude.

Every piece of art in my gallery is original; not scanned; not a photograph. Using only the computer mouse, I draw every line, add every bit of shading, highlights, blending, and refining to finish a piece. All of the art is started in Microsoft Paintbrush. The finishing process is done using Photoshop Elements.

Every piece is printed using only the finest of professional materials available, by a professional printing house. Rigorous quality control is employed to guarantee a satisfactory work of fine art.

Fine canvas and museum-quality signed, numbered and authenticated paper prints are available from the gallery.

Open copies are now available on FAA with POD.
