Bill Mead — “Sometimes a Cigar is Just a Cigar” Original painting on board, 33" x 24", signed. A striking surreal coastal scene featuring a towering lighthouse, dramatic cloud‑filled sky, and vivid marshland foreground. Mead blends realism with dreamlike imagery: an oversized grasshopper scaling the lighthouse, a white heron poised near the water, and a whimsical blue crab raising a red flag. Bold color, imaginative symbolism, and Mead’s signature coastal surrealism make this a standout collector’s piece.
