U.P. 200

Yay! I finished another painting for my series! You can see it below with the rest of them.
I'm pretty proud of it and it brings my "A Walk In The Woods" series up to 5. Only 20 more to go! I have until June and that much time makes staying focused on this hard. Seems like I have forever and I have to remind myself that I don't!
I'm headed to Grand Marais for the afternoon tomorrow. Tan and I are going to watch the U.P. 200 come in. Its the Upper Peninsula's edition of the Iditarod. However, instead of traveling 1150 miles from Anchorage to Nome the teams will travel a little over 200 miles from Marquette to Grand Marais and back. I'm very excited as I've never seen a live sled dog race before. The closest I've come is the cartoon Balto.
I'm hoping to get some good pictures and possibly do a few paintings from it.

  1. Sarah, this grouping of paintings shows exactly what I meant about the woods and you. The first one with all the color takes my breath away. Jim and I love autumn pictures. It is our favorite season.
    You catch sun and shadow well. You catch seasons well. The last makes me think of walking our old dog Blue ,how the dogs love walking in the woods up here. I love the sunset in it too to go catch the evening light or first morning light is one of our great delights.We just stand in the rays and take in the glory.
