This Isle of Portland greeting card features the Portland Bill lighthouse. The choppy waters of the English Channel fill the scene along with skies that suggest a storm has recently passed. Construction was begun on the lighthouse in 1903 and completed in 1906. It's still in use as an aid to navigation today but was automated in the 1990's. Today this beautiful old lighthouse is also one of the main attractions of a visit to the Isle of Portland.
For many of us Lighthouses capture the imagination. There's a certain nostalgia and romanticism that has built up around them. For many there's also as well a lot of symbolism attached to lighthouses for being a guidepost in the storm. And of course, many surviving lighthouses are simply historic in nature. For me, it's a little bit of all of the above that attracts me to them as subjects for art. And of course, the seaside landscapes where one finds lighthouses is usually beautiful in its own right. Which as you can see from this artwork, is certainly the case here.
And I believe this Portland Bill lighthouse card will catch the eye of many lighthouse aficionados out there. Whether you've visited the Isle of Portland or not, it's simply an amazing scenic landscape on top of the lighthouse itself. If you have visited Portland Bill Lighthouse or have ties to it, I bet this a card with this lighthouse on it is even more special.

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.
