Contemporary Folk Art Lighthouse Painting

This is a contemporary folk-art style acrylic painting on a gallery-wrapped stretched canvas. The composition features a central white lighthouse with a black lantern room, set atop a rocky shoreline. To the left, there are stylized red buildings, possibly fishing shacks. The sea is depicted in deep blues with visible whitecaps, featuring a small two-masted sailing vessel on the horizon. Five white seagulls are stylized across a bright blue sky, along with a single textured white cloud. The artist has used a heavy impasto technique in certain areas, particularly on the grass and the cloud, creating physical texture on the canvas. The painting is signed with the initials 'KY' in black paint in the bottom right corner. The piece appears to be in good condition with no visible tears or paint loss, though the canvas edges show the continuation of the blue background. This work demonstrates a naive or outsider art aesthetic, characterized by simplified forms and bold, unblended color applications. The approximate age appears to be late 20th to early 21st century based on the material appearance and style.
