Point Abino Lighthouse, Afternoon by Peter Cheung is a 36 x 24 inch oil on canvas that was produced in 2024 and signed in the bottom left. The piece depicts a solitary lighthouse on the shores of Lake Erie, Ontario. The local monument is bathed in sunlight and seems to glisten against the crystal blue sky above. The vertical composition of the piece showcases the grandeur of the lighthouse and accentuates its size and height. A long, sandy path draws the eye into the piece, lined with patches of tall green grass. Cheung uses a playful yet minimal colour palette and a strong sense of light and shadow to create this tribute to the Point Abino Lighthouse, which was originally built in 1917 and is classified as a heritage building.
