Miniature Blue Night Tower – Coastal Sentinel
Mysterious and reverent, Miniature Blue Night Tower – Coastal Sentinel is an original watercolor print by Cheryl Zapata, depicting a WWII-era lookout tower standing watch under a deep indigo sky. Set along the Delaware shoreline, this hauntingly beautiful piece captures the quiet strength and solitude of a historic structure that once protected the coast—now bathed in moonlight and memory.
Painted in rich shades of midnight blue, navy, and steel gray, the tower rises stoically from the dunes, silhouetted against a tranquil, starlit backdrop. The cool palette and subtle brushwork evoke a sense of stillness and reflection. Printed on archival Palo Duro Etching 315 paper, the cold press texture adds depth and atmosphere to every shadow and highlight. Framed in a white distressed 3.5" x 4.5" wood frame, it’s a striking piece for history lovers, coastal collectors, or those drawn to quiet coastal strength.
This piece, like all of Cheryl’s work, honors the past while offering peace in the present—created in memory of her late brother and in support of mental health awareness through art that watches over, just like the tower itself.
