A Connecticut shoreline Christmas: Stamford Harbor Light in a holiday watercolor by sailor-artist Alfred LaBanca of Darien, Connecticut.

The painting shows the red and white tower on its rocky ledge, reflected in the calm blue water of Long Island Sound under a winter sky, a quiet harbor scene for the season.

Built in 1882, Stamford Harbor Light is a cast-iron “sparkplug” lighthouse standing on a ledge at the entrance to Stamford Harbor. It guided ships into the harbor for decades and remains one of the most recognizable landmarks on this stretch of the Sound.

Every card and print is reproduced from Alfred LaBanca's original watercolor, part of a collection of more than 200 lighthouse paintings. Choose a pack of 8 Christmas notecards with envelopes, or a small (7x9) or large (11x14) matted print, with tax, shipping and handling included.
