"Muskegon Light" oil on canvas by Frank Roosa

First established in 1851 the Muskegon South Pier Light Station, located in Central West Michigan is no longer functioning or accessible to the public; however, its rich history and bright red color has primarily sparked interest in lighthouse art masterpieces. Frank Roosa magically paints the majestic spender of this beautiful red lighthouse eloquently with an inviting flair to stopover the dominant grounds.

The Manistee lighthouse is a daunting breakwater lighthouse towering 39 feet first built in 1870, burned the following year in The Great Fire of 1871. The lighthouse was rebuilt to include in 1927 a pioneering tall, white, cylindrical cast iron tower; still operational in the harbor of Manistee, Michigan, shining out over "Lake Michigan's Victorian Port City”. An elevated catwalk used by keepers to access the light in boisterous weather connects the perfect lighthouse to the shore line.

Gifted artist Frank Roosa opulently captures the essence of the grand "Manistee Lighthouse" in an eye catching 16 X 20 oil painting, with warm hues and alluring colors, a most delightful addition in a foyer or hallway at a reasonable cost.

Deemed the oldest continuous operational lighthouse beacon in the Great Lakes region; “Marblehead Lighthouse” has captured the minds of inspired artists in designing a Marblehead Lighthouse postage stamp and a popular Ohio automotive license plate including sparking the interest of proficient artist Frank Roosa.

Located at the base of Sandusky Bay at Bay Point Ohio, Marblehead Lighthouse safely guides nautical travelers through the unique Sandusky Bay and Lake Erie region. Frank Roosa magically highlights the bold demeanor of this massive over powering lighthouse in his “Marblehead Lighthouse” oil painting. With the bay looking rugged and wild; travelers critically appreciate the secure sanctuary vastly accessible by this magnificent lighthouse.

No one wants to be caught in an ocean storm like this lively creation vividly captured by Frank Roosa in "The Squall” oil painting below. A sense of rocking with strong hurricane force winds is felt in the mist of admiring this nautical work of art. Frank Roosa’s chosen colors are undauntedly rash with a strong word of caution; an innocent correlation to the strong emotions depicted in Vincent Van Gogh's famous "Starry Night" landscape painting. One could almost feel the correlations of their hard whirlwinds and squally weather.

Frank Roosa's "Follow the Light" oil on canvas painting intensely depicts a saving light brightly shining in a forest. The glaring sun rays are filled with life saving energy and enthusiasm; a pure light illuminating the way back home whilst you may have lost your way in a mysterious and ominous chilly forest.

He astoundingly and cleverly makes use of an intuitive color combination in making the trees overpowering and sinister looking with a model of quiet serenity shining from an affectionate sunshine; "a light shining in the darkness" per se.

You can easily see the greenish moss on the forest floor and feel the misty gray mist; again you find solace in a heavenly angelic light, a cheer for sore eyes, an artist's masterpiece.

"A Quiet Stream" is a fine print art piece by Frank Roosa that is capable of taking his lovely audience to a gentle calm serenity; a quiet oasis near a flowing stream; for a most notable picnic lunch. One can hear the expressed stillness with birds chirping and crickets singing in the background; a secret place for an implicit self assessment.


Frank Roosa’s worth of work is clearly reflected in his powerful art pieces. He innocently and fully engages his audience genuinely. A deep appreciation is felt for his attention to detail, choice of subject matter and striking color pallet. His art forms a vivid experience in one's imagination at times with a calming effect or strong emotion. His dainty book illustrations take on a similar stature.

In particular, Frank Roosa has movingly illustrated Valerie Roosa's nautical fiction novels centered on the subject of the War of 1812, in "Shadow on the Water" and "True Colors". Valerie Roosa’s navel fiction books depict the mingling of the turbulent hardship endured by some with an endearing contrast to the flourishing lifestyle enjoyed by a select minority amongst the native Americans of the early nineteenth century. An engaging read indeed!
