Yaquina Head Lighthouse

Yaquina Head Lighthouse is located on the Pacific Coast at Newport, Oregon.  It is truly one of the loveliest lighthouses in the country and is often visited by photogrpahers, artists and lighthouse buffs from all over the world.  It sits on a rocky outcropping and commands a dramatic view of the Pacific Ocean. Completed in 1873 the light is in excellent condition and has needed little repair work for over 100 years. The grounds are open to the public but the light itself can only be visited by special arrangement with the Yaquina Bay Coast Guard.  No matter, it is a breathtaking beauty not to be missed.  This painting is oil on canvas and measures 17"x141/2" and is available directly from the artist at $185.  Questions and comments are always welcome at pwhitacre@att.net or by phone at 865-932-6729.  Other paintings may be viewed at my website...www.pegwhitacre.com.  Enjoy your visit!
