Bishop Rock Lighthouse postcard is from North East artist Emily Ward's beautiful range of art postcards. This postcard has been created from original art by Emily.
Emily’s art depicts Bishop Rock Lighthouse standing tall and resilient amid a dramatic seascape. The lighthouse rises from a rugged cluster of rocks, its pale structure illuminated by the warm, glowing hues of the vibrant sunset.
The sky behind shifts from deep purples and blues at the top to rich oranges and yellows near the horizon, which highlights the isolated strength of the lighthouse.
The foreground bursts with energy as waves crash against the rocks, captured with bold splashes of white paint that convey the wild, restless motion of the sea. The water itself is painted in deep purples and blues that blend with the tones of the sky. The use of vivid colours gives this art postcard a dramatic atmosphere, which reflects the raw power of nature and the steadfast presence of Bishop Rock Lighthouse, which famously marks one of the most exposed locations in the British Isles.
