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!

WHITE RIVER LIGHTHOUSE IS IN THE EXHIBIT, HOPE YOU CAN STOP BY AND SEE ALL THE GREAT PAINTINGS.

White River Lighthouse

Available

Another painting started while I was plein air painting with friends.  This lighthouse is tucked snugly between the channel on the north, the nearby Lake Michigan shore on the West.  Inside you can stroll through a fine nautical museum, which includes the Fourth Order Fresnel lens originally used at this location.  You  can also climb a beautiful iron staircase into the light tower for a sprawling view of Lake Michigan.and bordering sand dunes.

I painted the lighthouse from across the river and didn't get the tour so next time I will have to visit the museum.

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.
