Bear Island Lighthouse

Painting of Bear Island lighthouse in Cranberry Isles, Maine by artist Dominic White

The original painting is available. Please email me for purchasing information.
Custom framed prints are also available

Bear Island Lighthouse sits high atop one of the five islands that are incorporated as the town of Cranberry Isles, Maine. It is near the entrance to Mound Desert Harbor. The lighthouse was rebuilt a couple of times, with he current lighthouse and lightkeeper’s house was built in 1889. It is a family owned and not open to the public.

Painting the privately owned lighthouses of Maine can be a challenge as access to the site is limited, however in this instance it was for the best. I was invited to join a family on a local boat they chartered to take them around the islands and was able to get dramatic reference photos of the cliffs below the lighthouse at low tide.
