The Guiding Light by Peter Cheung is a 16 x 20 inch oil on canvas that was produced in 2024 and signed in the bottom left corner. The piece depicts the Point Abino Lighthouse in Fort Erie, Ontario; a historic landmark of the region originally constructed in 1917. Cheung uses a limited palette of deep blues and purples to create a very moody nighttime seascape and a dramatic incorporation of bright yellow to depict the reflection of the moon. This reflection serves as the focal point of the scene, leading the viewer’s eye to the lighthouse that sits solitary amongst the darkness, guiding sailors safely to the shores.
Peter Cheung is a local Niagara artist and art instructor. He is known for his depictions of the region and its historical monuments as well as for his wildlife scenes.
