About the Item
'Cana Island Lighthouse' is an original landscape painting signed by American artist Gregory Steele. In the painting, Steele presents a picturesque view of the Door County, Wisconsin lighthouse on Cana Island – near Spikehorn Bay and Moonlight Bay. As with many of the landscape painters of the nineteenth century, Steele shows the meeting of human industry with the overwhelming force of nature. The lighthouse towers and glows in the left of the image, hidden behind trees green with summer. In the distance, dramatic clouds reflect the purples, pinks and violets of an oncoming sunset storm, dominating the composition and emphasizing the smallness of mankind's efforts. Once nighttime falls, the lighthouse will glow even brighter, fulfilling its indented function of warning of the rocky shore in the dark storm.

Gregory Steele was born and raised in a small western Illinois town twelve miles from the Mississippi river. Since 1969, he has lived in Davenport, Iowa in view of the river. Both the River and the surrounding landscape has been a big influence on his art. At the age of 18, Steele became a professional artist as a cartoonist selling works to newspapers in northern Illinois, and later went on to become a freelance illustrator. In 1992 he began dropping commercial clients to devote more time to his passion for creating paintings. Steele uses both color and detail to create a depth that pulls one into the painting. His main objective is to create a four dimensional image on a two dimensional plane, giving the illusion that one can walk into the painting to see what is on the other side. Steele’s paintings often stir a memory of a place or an event in the life of the viewer.
