This hand painted watercolor bookmark depicts Nubble Lighthouse (officially known as Cape Neddick Light) rendered in a simple, illustrative style with soft blues and greens that reflect the surrounding sea and sky. Built in 1879, the lighthouse stands on a small rocky island just off the coast of York, guiding vessels along Maine’s southern shoreline for well over a century. Often cited as one of the most photographed lighthouses in the country, Nubble has become an enduring symbol of Maine’s coast, admired for both its beauty and its steadfast presence.
The restrained palette and minimal detail allow the structure and setting to speak quietly for themselves, emphasizing seclusion and calm. Amanda feels, living so close to Nubble is a gift, and this painting is a reflection of that gratitude. It is an everyday landmark that never loses its sense of wonder, no matter how many times it’s seen.
