74. NYACK LIGHTHOUSE

Donald Hazen Brown Archive By Don Brown


1983 NYACK, NY For a good many years this circular building with a cupola was part of the Hudson riverfront in Nyack, N. Y. It was designed to appear as a lighthouse, but in reality housed a gift shop on the first floor. What occupied the other upper floors, was unknown to me. The watercolor workshop I was painting with that summer went down to the riverfront to paint. I chose this view of the "lighthouse" across the inlet. It's novelty as a building and its picturesque setting on the banks of the river made for an interesting composition. The "lighthouse" no longer exists. It was torn down several years ago when the area was re-developed. It is now a part of Nyack's history. We are never certain when the familiar will quite unexpectedly vanish from us. Perhaps that is a reminder that change is inevitable, and that it behooves us to pay attention to the present.
