Contemporary realist painter Jamie Wyeth is part of a renowned family of artists, including his father Andrew Wyeth and grandfather N.C. Wyeth. The Wyeths have long been associated with Maine, including Monhegan Island, where Jamie painted Fog Station. This watercolor captures the Manana Island Sound Signal Station, constructed in 1889 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. Jamie first visited Monhegan Island in the 1950s with his father, Andrew, and by the mid-1960s, he began painting there annually. In 1968, Wyeth purchased a studio at Lobster Cove on the island's southern tip. This saltbox structure, along with numerous houses on the island, was built by renowned American artist Rockwell Kent in 1908 and provided Wyeth with the sweeping coastal views that would inspire some of his most successful watercolors and paintings.
