When you come across the straits, headed for Mackinac Island, one of the landmarks you will see is Round Island Lighthouse. It was built in 1895 and served as a beacon for the straits from 1895-1947. In '47 it was abandoned and replaced by the Round Island Passage Light which sits across the channel. Round Island Light fell into disrepair. As an effort to preserve the historic landmark it was restored in 1995 and re-lit in 1996.
The lighthouse, with Biddle's Point on Mackinac Island forms the finish line for the Chicago to Mackinac Sailboat Race, of which I have painted several pictures.
This painting will be included with my work on Mackinac Island at Mackinac's Little Gallery. To purchase contact them by going to the link or stop by when you're on the Island for the fall color!
