About This Image

There’s something magical about lighthouses, and if you dropped by to see this Pensacola lighthouse artwork, then I suspect you have the same feeling? And for me personally, there’s something special about the Florida coast. My family was originally from south Alabama so even though I grew up in Georgia, there was many a summer spent along the panhandle. My childhood memories are of the verdant green for which the Emerald Coast is so well known. And those rose-colored memories greatly influenced the color scheme of this lighthouse print.

Of course, the Florida gulf coast is not just beautiful, it’s historic. And the Pensacola Bay area is named for its indigenous peoples, never mind that some of the first European settlements were in the area. Compared to the history of the area, Pensacola Lighthouse is practically new. The current lighthouse (not the first on the bay) was built in 1859 and it towers over the surrounding landscape at 150 feet high. For me, the architecture of the light is just classic and the keeper’s cottage has a real Florida gulf coast feel to me. The cottage, a duplex, was built a decade after the light. Originally housing the families of the keeper and the assistant keeper, today the old cottage houses a museum.

If you’ve stood before Pensacola Lighthouse with your own family, I think this will remind you both of the natural beauty of Florida as well as the soaring majesty of the old light. I know each time I look at this artwork, I can feel the gulf breeze whipping through the trees. There’s just a wonderful feeling of place tied up in this particular piece for me and I hope you feel it too!

Have you also visited Pensacola Lighthouse? Or is this a familiar local scene for you? Perhaps you live there now or did in the past? I hope you will take a moment to share what drew you to this particular print? Do you simply love lighthouses or do you have your own memories that this stirs for you?

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.
