light house and tug boats

by Peggy
(Coos Bay Oregon)

This Bandon lighthouse original I took many years ago, since that time the light house has been restored for visitors, I have some of the modern look, but the old wore out look was the one I painted way back then....

Bandon, often called Bandon by the sea, is 28 miles south of Coos Bay on hwy 101, it is a beautiful beach and historic spot...

The tug boats are local here at Coos Bay-North Bend (small sister cities). They are photographed a lot.

They are the tugs that guide in the many ships that come into out port, and are favorite painting subjects for many of the local artists.
