Bug Light Painting
$595.00
Beautiful Bug Light watercolor painting shows the lighthouse with Casco Bay and the Islands.
Beautiful watercolor painting of Bug Light in South Portland, Maine. Technically it’s called, “Portland Breakwater Light,” but that’s too wordy for the super cute little lighthouse. The design is more formal than most of the lighthouses along the Maine coast. I love the ornate details with the granite breakwater and sweeping ocean backdrop.
This sweet lighthouse is located at the end of the Greenbelt Walkway in South Portland, Maine, in Bug Light Park. It’s such a pretty spot. There are benches and lots of grass to relax and watch the many boats going back and forth. If you look to the left, just out of frame in my painting, you can see the Portland cityscape with its bustling waterfront. If you look straight out, you can see Fort Gorges off in the distance. I had a hard time choosing which angle to feature, but I really like the fort showing.
This Bug Light painting would make a wonderful gift for someone who was either married or engaged here. I think it would be a perfect housewarming or hostess gift.

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate are the colors online?
The physical art matches what I see on my computer, but it might look slightly different on yours. For example, the colors are a little more muted on my phone and tablet than on my Mac. Also keep in mind also that the smaller the image, the sharper it appears online and in person.
DO YOU OFFER CUSTOM FRAMING?
I don’t provide framing services myself, but I’m happy to make suggestions! My 8×12″ and 10×14″ original paintings include a double white archival mats and backing board. They are ready to slip into 12×16″ or 10×14″ frames (easy to find). Buying unframed art enables the recipient to choose a frame that perfectly matches their decor.
Should I buy an original painting or a print?
Original paintings require more of a financial investment up front, but they also appreciate more in value over time. There’s also a satisfaction in knowing you have the only original painting. Giclees are more affordable and look exactly like the original paintings, so they are a great option for many.
While many of my collectors only purchase original art, others like to mix it up with both originals and giclees. It really depends on your budget and philosophy as a collector. If you’re just looking for some pretty paintings to add color or to give as a gift, giclees are a perfect choice.
HOW DO I KNOW WHAT SIZE ART TO PURCHASE?
I recommend taping pieces of computer paper together to create a mockup the same size as your art. You can even tape it to your wall with blue framer’s tape get a sense of scale. When you’re thinking about the frame size, you should add an additional 2-4″ on each side to account for the frame width.
I’m happy to help walk you through this process – just contact me.
Do you have an open studio?
I wish! My studio is pretty small, so the best place to view my art is online. I include inspiration photos to help you visualize art in your home. I also have a selection of paintings and prints available at Small Wonder Gallery in Camden, Maine.
Do you accept commissions?
Yes! Please visit my Commissions page to learn more about the process, pricing, and more.
I’M TRYING TO DECIDE BETWEEN TWO PAINTINGS. WILL YOU HOLD THEM FOR ME?

Can I make changes to my order?
Possibly – please contact me immediately to see if your order has already been processed.
