This St. Marks lighthouse painting, captures this beloved North Florida landmark in a moment of dramatic atmospheric tension. The historic white tower with its distinctive red roof rises majestically against turbulent gray skies, while sunlight breaks through to illuminate the structure and surrounding golden marshlands. Gioia skillfully renders the perfect mirror image of the lighthouse in the calm waters below, creating a compelling visual harmony between sky, land, and water. The composition balances the solidity of the lighthouse against the ephemeral quality of light and reflection, celebrating this enduring sentinel that has guided mariners along Florida’s Forgotten Coast since 1831. Rich textures in the foreground grasses add depth to this iconic coastal scene.
