View From Below 

Dan Graziano, an American artist born in 1953, is known for his realist paintings of coastal scenes. His work often features lighthouses, a symbol of hope and guidance, set against a backdrop of dramatic skies and crashing waves. "View From Below" captures the imposing presence of a lighthouse, its white tower rising against a bright blue sky punctuated by wispy clouds. The painting employs a realistic style, with visible brushstrokes that create a sense of texture and depth, reminiscent of the work of American painters like Winslow Homer and Edward Hopper.
