The Little Red Lighthouse

December 4, 2014 Kristin Link

Little Red Lighthouse Commission, 22 x 30", watercolor and pen (Photo by Anders Link)

I worked on this commission of the Jeffrey's Hook Lighthouse which stands below the George Washington Bridge in upper Manhattan two years ago, but since it was a surprise I'm not posting about it until now. The lighthouse is the subject of a children's book illustrated by Lynd Ward, The Little Red Lighthouse and the Great Gray Bridge, and is also the namesake the business my dad works for, Red Lighthouse Investment Management. This painting was for his partner, Mark, who I've known my whole life, and hangs in their office. It was enjoyable to work on a project for family and close friends.
