Fire Island Lighthouse, NY

24” x 30” | oil on wood panel

Commissioned by The Wolf Family of St. Louis

The Wolf Family has commissioned this piece to commemorate cherished memories of Fire Island, NY. The composition centers on the Fire Island Lighthouse, its silhouette grounded and steady against a whisper-soft sky. Gentle bands of color—muted rose, pale aqua, and warm gray—radiate from the light, suggesting both the lighthouse’s beacon and the soft, late-afternoon glow that often settles over the island.
Brushwork is atmospheric and experimental: thin glazes build luminous depth in the sky, while broader, textured strokes define sand, dune grass, and the lighthouse’s weathered form. Highlights are applied sparingly to capture reflections on water and the subtle gleam of the beacon, creating a quiet balance between realism and abstraction.
The overall mood is reflective and warm, evoking evenings of languid light, family walks along dunes, and the hush that follows a day at the shore. This painting is intended as a keepsake—a visual memory that honors place, time, and the Wolf Family’s connection to Fire Island. Custom framing and sizing options are available to suit display needs.
