Watercolor on paper by Phil Brinkman that depicts a family walking alongside the fence belonging to the Key West Lighthouse. The painting portrays a vibrant yellow lighthouse towering under a picturesque sky filled with fluffy clouds, set within a lush, green landscape. Adjacent to the lighthouse, a path hosts a scene with three figures, likely a family—two women and a small child. The women, dressed in colorful clothing and wearing headscarves, appear to be enjoying a leisurely walk, with one of the women holding the hand of the child. The setting exudes a peaceful yet cheerful atmosphere, encapsulating a moment of serene daily life near the lighthouse. The artwork, rendered in watercolors, effectively captures the play of light and shadow, enhancing the dynamic and warm quality of a sunny day outdoors.Collection
