Moonlit Night - Original Oil Painting

A lighthouse glows beneath a full moon, its lantern room cutting through soft drifting clouds while the treeline below fades into darkness — a quiet nocturne painted in oil on panel.

Working in layered oils, I built up the luminous quality of the moonlight through careful transitions, letting the warm glow of the tower contrast against the deep blue of the night sky. The varnished surface gives the piece a rich, finished depth.

I'm drawn to the way lighthouses hold their ground in the dark — steady, solitary, reassuring. This small painting tries to hold that feeling.

For the collector who loves coastal scenes, expressive night paintings, or intimate works with strong emotional presence — this piece brings quiet atmosphere to a bedroom, study, or reading nook.
