Port Mouton Lighthouse, Port Mouton, Nova Scotia

Port Mouton Lighthouse, also known locally as Spectacle Island Lighthouse, is associated with Spectacle Island in Port Mouton Bay, Nova Scotia, where a light station was established in 1873. This watercolor by Good Old Tom depicts a white tower with a red lantern rising above pale rock ledges and evergreen trees. Broad passages of blue sky and softly layered greenery lend the scene a peaceful atmosphere, celebrating the rugged beauty and maritime character of Nova Scotia’s island shores.
