Sunrise at Cape Bear Lighthouse, PEI (Marconi station)
Some paintings carry history in their brushstrokes. On the night of April 14, 1912, lighthouse keeper Thomas Bartlett received Canada’s first distress signal from the Titanic as it sank off Newfoundland from this very Marconi station at Cape Bear, PEI.
I painted sunrise over the water there: golden light returning after the darkest night. It’s a 30 x 40 in. framed original acrylic.
