"Grand Hotel Welcome"
5x7" Original Watercolor and Pen on Paper
I've been working on several projects lately, along with trying to settle into the new apartment. One of the main projects is a series on the Grand Hotel.
The Grand is an impressive, welcoming icon on your voyage to Mackinac Island. You can catch a ferry in Mackinaw or in St. Ignace and 20 minutes later you'll be stepping back in time on Mackinac Island. If you can't travel here, watch Somewhere In Time featuring Christopher Reeves. You'll get to see much of the Grand Hotel. The only thing that isn't accurate in the film is the vehicles. Normally, there are no cars on the Island, other than emergency vehicles. Mr. Reeves wanted them in the movie for some reason. On Mackinac, everyone gets around by walking, or riding a horse or bike. It's only 9 miles around and the perimeter can easily be made on a bike in a few hours.
