Sitting cozy on Christmas Eve 2018 at Big Bay Point Lighthouse looking out over a cold steel blue Lake Superior is the feeling I wanted to give for this painting. This sturdy dark red brick duplex lighthouse has 6 rooms on each side for the keeper and the assistant keeper and their families. This light is 25 miles north of Marquette, Mi. It is very isolated and positioned on a bluff to give it’S light maximum distance for passing ships. The tower stands 64’ tall but add the height of the bluff it stands 89’ above the Lake. it began service in Oct. 1896 and was fitted with a 3rd order Fresnel lens. The station was automated in 1941 and was unmanned after the last keeper in 1945. It past into private hands and has several owners. The lighthouse is currently a bed and breakfast. It is said that the homemade raspberry rolls are wonderful and the accommodations good.
