The Hereford Inlet Light is the old coastguard station in Cape May County, New Jersey. The sturdy dory boats were kept in a ground-floor room under those windows at the upper left. There were no trees then. Just beach. When needed, the dories were pulled & pushed across the beach to be launched into the waves for their rescue missions. It was also a lighthouse. Now it’s a museum with a wonderful garden where many weddings take place.
I painted this transparent watercolor en plein air from the beach.
