Share a Pacific Northwest Christmas with Heceta Head Lighthouse Christmas cards. This holiday watercolor by sailor-artist Alfred LaBanca shows one of the most scenic lighthouses on the Oregon coast in a snowy holiday setting.

The Heceta Head Light Christmas painting

The painting shows the white tower with a red lantern roof, a wreath and a garland with red bows, standing above a snowy meadow and a small red-roofed building. Behind it the dark headland curves into the Pacific Ocean under a dramatic sky of blue and gold.

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 Heceta Head Light

Heceta Head Light was first lit in 1894 and stands on a headland high above the Pacific, between Florence and Yachats on the central Oregon coast. It is named after the Spanish explorer Bruno de Heceta and is known as one of the brightest lights on the Oregon coast.
