Title
Cape Flattery Lighthouse On Tatoosh Island
Artist
Anne Norskog
Medium
Painting - Hand Drawn Digital Seascape
Description
Standing vanguard against the elements on Tatoosh Island the Cape Flattery Lighthouse has guided mariners into the Strait of Juan de Fuca since it was lit on December 28, 1857. Windswept and wild, the lighthouse and surrounding structures take a beating every year. The light was automated in 1977; one hundred and twenty years of operations with a keeper.
This installation is operated by the U.S. Coast Guard and is not open to the public. Its GPS coordinates are:
Latitude: 48.3917
Longitude: -124.7366
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.

Thanks Vincent. I agree. We all need a light. The folks who manned these lighthouses were special people. They had to go through months of solitude, terrible weather, and hard and sometimes very dangerous work.

I love your story in respect of the lighthouses and mentioning it's keeper. Lighthouses are needed in today's time to guide our hearts to safety!

Good evening again, Perry. That is a wonderful story. Thanks for sharing. And, thank you for your kind words. These old lighthouses have a lot of history attached to them.

Thanks for your kind words on my paintings. I have a funny story about Cape Flattery. A number of years ago I took some friends on a tour of the Olympic Peninsula. They wanted to see this tip of U.S. We drove out and came to a car seemingly blocked in front of a giant mud puddle. I pulled alongside to confer with them on the dangers of crossing this barrier, and the driver said,"Aren't you Perry Woodfin?" My friends always remember me being flattered at Cape Flattery. Your painting conjured this memory. It's a beautiful work and the clouds have that coastal feeling.
