Morning At The Lake

"Morning At The Lake"

8"x10" original watercolor and pen on paper

Available at Northgoods in Petoskey

I am so so SO ready for summer to be here. I have had enough snow and cold to last me until well into next February. Luckily, spring is beginning to show up. Kind of. Most days. When it feels like it. 

All of this pining got me thinking about summer vacations and relaxing by the lake. Here in Michigan the thing to do is "go up north." If you live in Detroit, you might go up to the Midland area. If you live in Grand Rapids, you probably drive up 131 to Petoskey and Traverse City. If you live north of the 45th parallel you probably head to the U.P. We just keep migrating northward. It's our thing. 

I was imagining a quiet, lakeside retreat where you can go out onto your own dock, sip a cup of coffee and relax in your chair as you listen to the loons and watch the sun rise, casting everything in a rosy light. The day is just beginning, it's full of possibilities. 

Fisherman's Daughter

This is another intriguing place located in Copper Harbor. It's called The Fisherman's Daughter. They have a little store where they sell all sorts of jewelry and crafts made by the owner....the fisherman's daughter! Attached to the store is a fish market and here you will find everything from fillets to fish sausage. (Pretty tasty stuff! ). I believe they also charter boats that will take you out into Lake Superior to do some fishing of your own!

Fisherman Sunset

Every once in a while I just start painting; no reference pictures, no preconceived idea, just a brush in my hand and a palette full of color. Sometimes these paintings are absolute crap, but other times they turn out like this...and I think thats kinda cool.
This painting is called "Fisherman Sunset" and is 4"x6." Its for sale for $50, unframed. To purchase, contact me at sarahtuleart@yahoo.com.
Also, I wanted to make a quick note that I received an invitation to have a one day solo show at The Art Cafe in Davison MI. I want to invite everyone to come, there will be refreshments and good conversation. It'll be the 4th of August, thats a Saturday, and I believe the reception will be from 6-8pm. I'll let you know more as I find out. It's also listed under the "Look For Me" tab at the top of the screen.
