"The small lighthouse at the mouth of the Coquille River, near Bandon, Oregon, makes a large presence against a hazy sky. Though not in actual use as an aid to navigation, she is viewed by multitudes of tourists year 'round."
Artist comment: "This view of the Coquille River Lighthouse at Bandon Oregon is from the south bank of the river looking north. On a sheet of hot-pressed 140# watercolor paper, I chose gouache as my medium to portray with detail the soft beauty of the diminutive building in the warmth of a summer day. The simple composition lends itself to the stark loneliness of the setting. Not even the raucous seagulls disturb the stillness of the scene. A full tide from the ocean makes hardly a disturbance on the surface of the river."
