Description

Dofflemeyer Point Lighthouse marks Budd Inlet and Boston Harbor from the Dana Passage. Dofflemeyer Point Lighthouse started existence as a lantern on a 12 feet high pole in 1887. The concrete lighthouse was finally constructed in 1934.

In the 1960s, the U.S. Coastguard automated the lighthouse, removing the small crown and replacing it with a revolving beacon. However, the fog horn still had to be manually operated. This was finally automated in 1987.

The U.S. Coastguard maintains the facility. It is not open to the public. GPS coordinates are:
Latitude: 47.14057
Longitude: -122.90749



Every piece of art in my gallery is original; not scanned; not a photograph. Using only the computer mouse, I draw every line, add every bit of shading, highlights, blending, and refining to finish a piece. All of the art is started in Microsoft Paintbrush. The finishing process is done using Photoshop Elements.

Every piece is printed using only the finest of professional materials available, by a professional printing house. Rigorous quality control is employed to guarantee a satisfactory work of fine art.

Fine canvas and museum-quality signed, numbered and authenticated paper prints are available from the gallery.

Open copies are now available on FAA with POD.
