Split Rock Lighthouse

Split Rock Lighthouse, located on the North Shore of Lake Superior, was built in 1905 after 29 ships were lost in one night on Lake Superior. The U.S. Coast Guard retired the lighthouse in 1969. But every November 10, the beacon of Split Rock shines its light in memory of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald which sank on November 11, 1975.

Wonderful mood, composition and colors, Jane. Love the perspective you’ve chosen. The history of the lighthouse is an added bonus. Terrific post.

Very cool, wonder if the Edmund Fitzgerald would have sank if the lighthouse had been operational?

Once again Jane the color component has added a wonderful dimension to your painting. Is it my imagination or have you been introducing more purple in your recent pieces? Either way, the hue selection has been perfect for each painting.
