Description by J.K. Flynn: Imagery in this quintessential Lighthouse scene is dominated by the very bold red, white, and black colorations of the lighthouse covering the entire left side of the composition. A sandy shore's edge wraps around the building. Several vertical pilings line the sandy beach to the lower right area. Here a small, dark brown dock building on pilings invites the viewer into the scene with an expanse of water and space across a small inlet lined to the right by a beach with dunes beneath puffy white cloud patterns.
