A large, unframed painting of the Stonington lighthouse by Dan Potter. The artwork appears to be painted in watercolor and/or acrylic paint, and has been done on a sheet of Tyvek - construction wrapping for housing exteriors. The tyvek sheet has been affixed with construction staples to a piece of foam core. The back of the foam core is a sign for Mystic Paper Beats production of Myth Spritz, myths from Greece. Dan and his wife are the founders and main performers in Mystic Paper Beasts. For more on the company, see the Rollie McKenna Collection.
This painting was purchased by the Historical Society in January of 2018, from a show held at the LaGrua Center called Lighting the Way, which served as the kick off event for the capital campaign to restore the lighthouse 2018-2020.Collection
