Lighthouse Art And Prints #261X

This is about Lighthouse art #261X And Prints by artist Stephen F. Condren, BFA-SAIC, at Condren Galleries, a Fine Arts Gallery, offering prints and JPEG & PDF scans. The lighthouses are located all over the world and are expressed in pencil, pen & inks, and watercolors.

Prints

The most popular selling lighthouse prints here at Condren Galleries are the pen & ink ones. The strong dark ink lines perfectly compliment the architectural delineation of the lighthouses making them so popular.

Landscape

The landscaping is an important element in the composition of lighthouse art as it sets the position and perspective of the structure.

Coastline

Many lighthouses are on the coastline and this thus need to be put into perspective to better understand it’s position. Bluffs and cliffs are a very scenic way to convey lighthouse art and composition.

Architecture

The natural form of lighthouse architecture is the cylinder. The form in a vertical positon allows the staircase to spire to the top to the lamp. The top of the lighthouse, of course, contains the light or lamp.

Beacon

The beacon of these lamps can be seen for miles out into the sea and waterways offering safety and location of ports.

Style

The style of architecture of lighthouse is almost infinite. In Japan you have ones that look like a Buddhist temple lamp.

The styles are all wonderful to behold but the bottom line is that they are tall and narrow giving off light far away.

Water

The water of the coastline is the key element of all lighthouses and putting the image of the lighthouse in relation to the body of water that is near.
