Time Spent With Dad

When I was little my dad used to take my sister and I fishing with him sometimes. We'd pile into his jeep with our fishing poles and tackle boxes and stop at the gas station on the way out of town to buy worms and "Chuckles" gummies. A snack for us and a snack for the fish. 

I don't get to go fishing with him much anymore, such is the way of growing up and moving away, but I still have fond memories of it and someday when I have children of my own I hope to do the same with them. 

This painting is 5"x7" and comes matted to fit into an 8"x10" frame. 

To purchase, contact me by email at: sarahtuleart@yahoo.com or by phone at (248) 977-0732. 

It's also available by checking out my Etsy shop, or Daily Paintworks. 

Hope Everyone Has  A Great Easter Weekend! 

Monday begins my next Manna Food Project Auction so be sure to check back! 

My New Etsy Shop

What did I do this morning you ask? I opened an Etsy Shop! A different way for people to obtain my artwork. Go check it out! 

Also, don't forget to stop into these places if you're in Northern Michigan for a visit! 

Mackinac's Little Gallery, Mackinac Island

Northgoods Gallery and Gift Shop, Petoskey

They will also ship items to you, so if you like something give them a jingle! 

Tiny Moments

Another in my tiny boat series. These are addicting to paint! 

The water is still around these moored sailboats and they seem to beckon you to take them out for the afternoon. Come on summer! Hurry Up! 

To purchase any of my tiny boats for $15 each, please email me at: sarahtuleart@yahoo.com or call me at (248) 977-0732. They are matted and ready to be slipped into a 6"x6" frame. 

Watercolor Workshop Available

 Just a reminder that I'm teaching a watercolor workshop for beginners in Cheboygan on Tuesday, April 2nd. It's from 5:30-8:30 pm at the Church of the Nazarene in the basement. There's still a few openings if you'd like to join us. Call me to sign up at (248) 977-0732 or email me at sarahtuleart@yahoo.com.

Tiny Sunsets

I painted these miniature paintings looking for a way to set some artwork in a lower price bracket. These paintings are 2.5'x3.5" and are known as "Artist Trading Cards" or at least they're the correct size to be trading cards. I'll be matting them so that they'll fit into a 6"x6" frame. 

I have several other artist's cards framed and hung in my home and when hung all together it creates a neat assortment on the wall. 

To purchase these at $15 each, please email me at: sarahtuleart@yahoo.com or call at (248) 977-0732. They will be matted and ready to slip into a frame. 

Soft Sunset

I witnessed this beautiful sunset while out camping. The soft colors were comforting as we stood by the lakes edge, taking it all in. Then we wandered back to our campfire and stuffed our faces full of s'mores. Ah, summertime. 

Snow is great and all, but come March, I'm usually ready to bid it adieu. It's time for buds on trees and crocuses peeking out of the ground. Its time for warm sunshine and trips to the beach. It's time for laying out in the hammock listening to the birds chirp and the cicadas hum. 

But, it appears I still have to wait a few months. Darn. 

This painting is 5"x7" and can be purchased by bidding in the Daily Paintworks auction. To go to that auction, click here. Alternatively, you can email me at: sarahtuleart@yahoo.com or call me at (248) 977-0732. 

A reminder that I'm teaching two watercolor classes here in Northern Michigan in early April. If you're interested in joining, contact me and I'll get you the info!  

Sky Barn

This barn sits not far from my grandparent's place in southern Michigan. I love old barns and when I go to visit my family I inevitably end up driving all over the countryside photographing barns and farmland  for use in paintings later. 

This painting is 5"x7" and can be purchased by bidding in the Daily Paintworks auction. To go to that auction, click here.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! 

Round Island Rocks

Round Island Lighthouse graces the Straits of Mackinaw and is a popular landmark for tourists. If you take the ferry from Mackinaw to Mackinac Island, you'll pass quite close to here and be able to take some awesome pictures of your own. 

I took reference photos for this picture from the shores of the Island. I like that it feels close when, in actuality I believe it's almost a mile or more away. 

This painting is 5"x7" and can be purchased by bidding in the Daily Paintworks auction. To go to that auction, click here.

Kincheloe Run

A few weeks ago we went to visit friends in "the north land." They live in a beautiful part of Michigan's Upper Peninsula and we had a wonderful time.

While we were there we went to go see a sled dog race. What a fantastic sight! The dogs all looked happy beyond...well....words...as they went rushing by, their tongues lolling out of their mouths. If you've never been to a sled dog race I recommend it! Of course, I also recommend you bring a warm drink and a pair of mittens. 

This painting is 8"x10" and can be purchased through Daily Paintworks by clicking here. Alternatively, you can email me at: sarahtuleart@yahoo.com or call me at (248) 977-0732. 

Also, I'm proud to announce that I'll be teaching two local watercolor classes soon! One in Cheboygan and one in Petoskey. The classes are for beginners and if anyone is interested please contact me! 

Come Celebrate!

Come see me tonight if you're in the Traverse City area. I'd love to see you! 

When Visiting Petoskey...

 If you happen to be in Northern Michigan this summer be sure to come to Petoskey and visit the Northgoods Gallery on Howard Street. It's an amazing new addition to Petoskey's downtown art scene! And when you're there be sure to take a gander at my paintings! (and all the other beautiful artwork of course).

March Art Auction For Manna

Above is this month's painting that I'm offering for the Manna Food Project auction. The painting is 5"x9" and is watercolor and pen on paper. It will come matted and ready to frame. 

At the beginning of this year I felt the need to do something positive in my community. As Mahatma Gandhi said, "Be the change you wish to see in the World." So, keeping that in mind, I looked for local charities that I thought did the most good. The Manna Food Project caught my attention. They feed over 3400 hungry families in Northern Michigan every month. This struck me. 3400 families! That's a lot of people! And they do it all through local food pantries with the help of many hands. So in 2013 I decided I'll pick one of my paintings each month, auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to Manna.

 I'd like to thank those that bid on the last few paintings. Your contribution went to help a generous cause.

THANK YOU!
