Bring Cape Cod home for the holidays with Nauset Beach Light Christmas cards. This holiday watercolor by sailor-artist Alfred LaBanca shows the red and white lighthouse of Eastham in a snowy seaside scene.

The Nauset Beach Light Christmas painting

The painting shows the red-topped tower with a wreath and a garland of red bows, rising above snow-covered dunes, beach grass and the keeper's house trimmed for the holidays. A golden winter sky and the blue Atlantic complete the scene.

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 Nauset Beach Light

Nauset Light was first built in 1877 as one of the twin lights at Chatham and was moved to Eastham in 1923. In 1996, with the bluff eroding beneath it, the lighthouse was moved again to its current spot back from the edge.

Its red and white colors make it one of the most recognizable lighthouses on Cape Cod, and it stands within the Cape Cod National Seashore near Nauset Light Beach.
