Original artwork description:

This is an image of a lighthouse, inspired by photos of my friends who live in coastal towns. These include Norway, Sweden and Russia. But I used a lighthouse in Maine as my base. I was fascinated by the Victorian buildings near the lighthouse. _x000D_ And I took the cliffs from a picture of Norway. _x000D_ The picture shows winter cliffs surrounded by the sea. There is snow on the rocks, which contrasts with the dark water. There is a lighthouse in the middle of the picture, its light pointing the way to the ships ploughing the sea._x000D_ Next to the lighthouse are white houses with tiled roofs. They look cosy and warm, contrasting with the cold sea and sky.
