This is Edward Hoppers "a light a two lights" I was inspired to do this because I love the ocean and one of the key things that reminds me of the ocean is a lighthouse. Edward Hopper has been inspired by light houses since he was a student, and traveled all over to paint different ones. This specific one was inspired by Cape Elizabeth just south of Portland. He painted it in 1927 when he summered there. This piece was a lot harder to make then I had originally thought. I had to remake the railing multiple times and I ended up deciding to only make them in the front. I did this because you can not see the back of the painting and it would mean that more light was visible from the ocean.
