The Light That Was

12x12in - Mixed Media Oil on Canvas

She stands as she once was—whole, steady, lit from within.

Not to rewrite history,
but to remember it.

This is a portrait of presence restored.

Sheila’s Note
I didn’t grow up with this lighthouse, but I painted it to honor what it once was.

Egmont Key has weathered so much—erosion, storms, time itself.

This is my way of offering it back its light. A small tribute to a structure that still stands, even after so much has been taken.
