The Lighthouse (after Constable)

$110.00

“The rocky ledge runs far into the sea
And on its outer point, some miles away,
The Lighthouse lifts its massive masonry,
A pillar of fire by night, of cloud by day

[…]

Steadfast, serene, immovable, the same
Year after year, through all the silent night
Burns on forevermore that quenchless flame,
Shines on that inextinguishable light!"

from The Lighthouse by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

This landscape explores the style and techniques of English painter John Constable in his painting Harwich Lighthouse. His own work developed by studying the compositional techniques of the old masters, much in the same way that I improve my skills by learning from him.

*What does this mean? Each piece available here has been carefully hand-crafted by me, KimZed. But in a world of AI, it is very important for me to recognize and give credit to the artists I learn from.

A time-honored tradition in art is for students to emulate the works of other artists as a way of deepening their abilities. I gratefully follow this practice, learning from artists who inspire me. A pieced signed as “after [other artist]” indicates that this piece was based on the work of another artist, to whom I give credit for the original concept.
