Interior Oil Painting: Lighthouse Tower at Dusk

An oil painting in thick impasto on canvas, inside a lighthouse tower. The viewpoint climbs a spiraling wooden staircase toward the lantern room, where a warm amber glow spills from a gleaming Fresnel lens and brass lamps. Weathered brick walls, coiled ropes, and a rusted bell frame the composition as storm-tossed sea boils outside through small porthole windows. Dust motes float in the beams of light. The color palette blends burnt umber, ochre, ivory, and deep sea blues with rich greens, executed in expressive brushstrokes that render peeling paint, salt crust, and the tactile grain of timber. The scene conveys quiet solitude and a keeper's vigil, juxtaposing the intimate interior with the dramatic ocean beyond.
