Sandy Beach

5 feet wide by 4 feet tall

Cold wax and oil on cradled hardboard

From start to finish my paintings average 6 months on my easel.  There are many layers to build the colors into the finished surface and complete the sides.  It was cold dark and snowy when thoughts of summer shimmered in my mind. 

That sandy beach has real sand added to the painting, how cool is that!

Lake Michigan Wandering

Available

Recently my travels took me to a friends house near Lake Michigan.  We spent a few days together painting the area.   This morning started out with thunder and lightening and turned into a beautiful hot afternoon.   The waves were rather choppy from the earlier storms and those that came again overnight.  Summer hasn't officially begun it was rather quiet give it another week the summer season will start.

Recently I traveled up north for a few days and now a local art group is having a Michigan Waters exhibit so the timing was perfect.  I don't want to give the location away it will be more fun if someone recognizes the lake.  The name of the painting came from a t-shirt that was purchased on this trip, just loved it.
