Savannah's Little Lighthouse
Painting
Savannah’s Little Lighthouse is my rendering of the Cockspur Island Lighthouse at the mouth of the Savannah River at Lazaretto Creek. It’s a combination of acrylics and watercolor pencils on 11×15 cold pressed watercolor paper. The history of the state’s smallest lighthouse is quite fascinating to me. It is quite remote and can only be reached by boat. In my youth, I used to always think it looked so lonely, out in the mouth of the river, when we would drive past it on our way to Tybee. Enjoy!
