This original Newport Rhode Island greeting cards features artwork of a rainy evening in the skies over the Rose Island Lighthouse. This 1870 lighthouse was removed from service in the 1970s but thankfully it has been restored and kept in good repair by a local group who has preserved this historic light. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987 and the lantern was re-lit in 1992 as a private aid to navigation. In addition to the light itself being historic, it's built on historic foundations. The curved wall you see is actually the southwest bastion of old Fort Hamilton.
I've depicted the historic Rose Island lighthouse with its steady red light against a backdrop of stormy skies. You can even see lighting on the horizon over the waters of Narragansett Bay. This particular subject was requested by more than one person and when I saw that beautiful mansard roof and the general Victorian style I was hooked! Not that lighthouses are ever a hard sell for me. I wish I had more time as they are a favorite subject. I've yet to see one big or tall, in ruins or well kept that I wasn't intrigued.
How about you? What attracts you to the image on this Newport Rhode Island greeting card? Have you visited this lighthouse or do you simply love lighthouses in general, too?

About Greeting Cards
Greeting cards are 5" x 7" in size and are produced on digital offset printers using 100 lb. paper stock. Each card is coated with a UV protectant on the outside surface which produces a semi-gloss finish. Each card comes with a white envelope.
These greeting cards may be ordered as a single card or in packs of 10 or 25 cards. If you would like to order cards in greater quantities or with other customization, send me a message.
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.
