Seaham Lighthouse original painting is by Newcastle based artist Emily Ward.
The wild waves from the North Sea break over the pier wall, sending sea spray crashing over the black and white lighthouse in Seaham harbour.
Emily's sky is filled with a gentle ripple of pink which swirls around behind the lighthouse creating a warming glow.
This original painting full of character would look lovely on any wall.

Seaham Lighthouse
Seaham Lighthouse looks out over the North sea in County Durham and was built in 1905. Seaham simply means ‘homestead by the sea’ .
In the early 1820s plans to develop the port and harbour at Seaham were drawn up by the engineer William Chapman with some input from the architect John Dobson.
Original Painting
All original paintings are made by Emily Ward herself. They are painted on a special heavyweight board or on a white canvas.
Emily’s paintings are often mixed media. She tends to use acrylic paints which are quick drying. She often uses tissue paper mixed with PVA to make a base for her paintings. The base is often scrunched up which adds extra texture and gives a natural finish to her painting.
Emily will also use other media such as charcoal, inks and pastels on her paintings.
To finish the paintings Emily often, but not always, adds a rich clear resin. The resin has a high gloss finish which is very shiny. The resin also acts as a protective layer for the painting.
Frames for Original Paintings
All frames are made locally in the North East. They come in a variety of styles and sizes. The frames tend to be Black or White. Most of the styles are photographed and added to each web description for the customer to see.
Mount Board for Original Paintings
Emily will often frame the paintings with a good quality mount board. The colour of the mount board is usually Antique White.
