Send a midcoast Maine Christmas with Pemaquid Point Lighthouse Christmas cards. This holiday watercolor by sailor-artist Alfred LaBanca shows the famous lighthouse high on its rocky ledges in a fresh winter snow.

The Pemaquid Point Light Christmas painting

The painting shows the white tower with a wreath, the keeper's house and fence trimmed with garland and red bows, all sitting on top of the dramatic snow-dusted rock ledges of Pemaquid Point. The blue ocean and a bright winter sky frame 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.
