Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse Above the Rocks, Tremont, Maine

Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse rises above the rugged, rose-toned cliffs of Mount Desert Island in Tremont, Maine, guarding the entrance to Bass Harbor and Blue Hill Bay. This watercolor by Good Old Tom views the white tower and red-roofed buildings from close among the rocks, with dense evergreens framing the scene and dramatic clouds drifting across a deep blue sky. Gentle washes of coastal light balance the warm granite foreground, celebrating the quiet strength of this Maine landmark.
