Send a classic Maine Christmas with Cape Neddick "Nubble" Light Christmas cards. This holiday watercolor by sailor-artist Alfred LaBanca shows the beloved York lighthouse glowing with holiday lights.

The Cape Neddick (Nubble) Light Christmas painting

The painting shows the white tower with a red lantern roof, a wreath and a garland of red bows, beside the keeper's house outlined in warm white holiday lights. Snow blankets the rocky island, the windows glow, and the calm blue Atlantic stretches to the horizon under a soft winter sky.

Alfred LaBanca is a sailor and watercolor artist from Darien, Connecticut, who has spent decades painting America's lighthouses from the water and the shore. His holiday series adds wreaths, garlands and fresh snow to the lighthouses people love most, turning each one into a warm, hand-painted Christmas scene.

About Cape Neddick (Nubble) Light

Cape Neddick Light was built in 1879 on a small rocky island called the Nubble, just off Cape Neddick in York, Maine. The station, with its tower, keeper's house and little red oil house, sits only a short distance from the mainland, so visitors can see it up close from Sohier Park.

Every holiday season the lighthouse and its buildings are outlined in lights for the town's Christmas tradition, and the glowing Nubble has become one of the most loved holiday sights in New England.
