Sankaty Head Lighthouse - Original Oil Painting (8” x 10”)

Sankaty Head Lighthouse — Original Oil Painting (8” x 10”)

This original 8” x 10” oil painting depicts the wide, windswept fields of Nantucket, where the red-and-white tower of Sankaty Head Lighthouse rises against a vast summer sky. A scene of quiet strength and coastal beauty, it carries with it the rhythm of sea breezes, the warmth of golden grasses, and the enduring presence of a landmark that has guided mariners for generations. Both grounded and expansive, this piece is an invitation to breathe deeply and linger in the stillness of the shore.

Painted by hand using Geneva oils on linen, this one-of-a-kind work is professionally finished and set in a custom pine floater frame crafted by an experienced American framer. The frame features a clean ¼-inch face moulding and a ¾-inch depth, allowing the painting to sit flush for a sleek, modern profile that complements both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Frame finishes are available in painted white; espresso gel-stain (“Java”); or natural pine (unfinished). The unfinished option lets the raw character of the wood shine through—or gives you the freedom to apply your own finish to match your home and style.

Versatile and timeless, this painting is perfect for a gallery wall, entryway, or cozy corner—anywhere you’d like to bring in the light and memory of Nantucket’s coast.
