This Georgia coast metal print features Cockspur Island Light - Georgia's smallest lighthouse. The history of a light at this location goes back to a brick daymarker built in the 1830's. Although not the first lighthouse on Cockspur Island, the current structure dates to 1855 and miraculously survived the bombardment of nearby Fort Pulaski in 1862. Its years as an active aid to navigation ended in 1909 when traffic to the port of Savannah shifted to the north channel which could handle larger ships. In recent years, the light has been the subject of restoration efforts and was re-lit in 2007. There was originally a keeper's cottage at Cockspur Island Lighthouse but it was lost long ago.
This is not my first artwork featuring Cockspur Island light. It's such a pretty subject that it's difficult not to revisit it and I had imagined it on a starry night on the Georgia Coast and that's how I depicted it. The skies above are a wash with the milky way and there's a warm happy glow from the lantern of the lighthouse as well as the windows suggesting long ago times when the lighthouse was manned. Maybe the ghosts of the past are keeping the lights on?
When I see this scene, I can hear the sounds of the night and it feels magical. How about you? What attracts you to this Georgia coast metal print? Are you a lighthouse lover in general or do you have a fondness for this wee lighthouse specifically?

Metal Prints - Product Information
Metal prints are a contemporary and stylish choice that will arrive at your door ready to hang.
The artwork is printed on a 1/16" thick sheet of aluminum that is then mounted on a 3/4" thick wooden frame. The wooden frame is recessed from the edge of the print giving the appearance of a thin high-gloss metal print that appears to be offset from your wall.
Each metal print is made to your order and printed using archival quality materials that should last a lifetime. Metal prints take 5 to 7 business days to produce and are shipped directly to you in sturdy packaging.
The only decision you will have to make when ordering your metal print is how large you would like it to be.
How Can I Help?
It's important to me that you know you're dealing with a person rather than some large corporation. I'm Mark Tisdale and I've worked as an artist for over 15 years now. The bulk of that time selling my work on prints and other products has been a full-time job I love. Not only does your purchase keep the lights on in my world, it simply matters to me that you are a happy customer. In the spirt of the golden rule, I want for you what I want for myself when I purchase online. And at the end of the day, I hope you may purchase from me again in the future or refer me to your friends and family.
With that in mind, if there are any questions I can answer before you purchase, please contact me so that I can assist.
And yes, the same person whose art you are considering buying is the one answering emails and tracking your order after it ships. So if your order goes awry or arrives in a less than satisfactory condition, without a doubt I want and need to hear from you.
And as an artist if you like my style but don't see the specific subject you were hoping to find today, please do tell me what it is you're seeking.
