Digby Ferry Passing Point Prim Lighthouse,





I’m pleased to share my newest piece, *Digby Ferry Passing Point Prim Lighthouse, 1950s-*, a digital artwork sized 8 by 10 inches. This work captures a lively coastal scene centered on a distinctive lighthouse—its red roof and white walls standing firmly atop a grassy, yellow-green cliff.


The cliff itself is alive with texture, rendered through thick, swirling brushstrokes that suggest both movement and the presence of small wildflowers scattered through the grass. Below, jagged dark rocks meet restless ocean waves, portrayed with bold, energetic strokes of blue, green, and white. The water’s motion feels palpable, as the waves push and curl against the shore.


Above this dynamic scene, the sky offers a subtle contrast. Layers of blue, punctuated with textured, wispy clouds, create a sense of depth and atmosphere. On the horizon, a red and white ship sails steadily, providing a point of balance within the composition and inviting the eye to wander beyond the immediate scene.


This work is deeply inspired by Maude Lewis, whose vibrant and heartfelt approach to art has long resonated with me. In creating this piece, I sought to channel that same expressive energy, employing thick, impressionistic brushwork throughout to build texture, movement, and life into the scene.


*Digby Ferry Passing Point Prim Lighthouse* aims to offer more than just a representation of a coastal landmark—it’s an invitation to experience the rhythm and vitality of the sea and land meeting, a place both invigorating and contemplative. I hope this piece encourages you to reflect on the stories and sensations held within such timeless views.
