Blind Guardian

This is a painting of the Cedar Point Lighthouse in East Hampton, NY as it appeared in the early 1980's. It guarded the approach to Sag Harbor from Gardiner's Bay from 1868 when it was commissioned until 1934 when it was replaced by an automated light atop a skeletal tower. It continued to deteriorate until 2014 when a project was initiated to renovate and restore it to its former glory.
