Original Watercolor Painting of Harbour Town Lighthouse by WM Edick (1989)

This is an original landscape watercolor on paper depicting the iconic Harbour Town Lighthouse on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. The artwork is signed and dated 'WM Edick 89' in the lower left corner. The composition features the distinctive red and white striped lighthouse tower, rendered with soft brushwork characteristic of the watercolor medium. Beside the lighthouse is a low-lying structure, likely the surrounding shops and dock area, with a coastal marsh landscape in the foreground. A flock of gulls is depicted in flight against a pale, warm sunset or sunrise sky. The color palette consists of earthy browns, muted greens, and soft yellows and purples in the sky, creating a serene, atmospheric quality. The painting is professionally mounted under glass with a large off-white matting featuring a thin brown accent border. It is housed in a carved, gold-finished wooden frame with a classic bevel. The overall condition appears excellent with no visible foxing, fading, or water damage to the paper. The frame shows minor surface wear consistent with its age from the late 1980s. The artist demonstrates skilled wet-on-wet techniques and a good understanding of light and shadow, indicating professional craftsmanship from the contemporary regional art period.
