Autumn Lakeshore Miniature

"Autumn Lakeshore"

3.5"x2.5" Original Miniature Watercolor

Available At Northgoods In Petoskey

I had a great time spending the weekend with my sister! We always laugh a lot and find fun things to do. I miss her when she's not around. 

This week I plan to get back to my Starry Animals series and work on some larger pieces. In the mean time, enjoy this little snippet of life on the lake in autumn.

Strolling Through The Orchard

"Strolling Through The Orchard"

8"x10" original watercolor on paper

Available at Forest Hills Fine Arts Center January 2014

Every autumn since I was a kid my family would all pile into the car and we'd go to Knaebe's Apple Orchard. I love going to Knaebe's. There is always fresh baked pumpkin and apple doughnuts, apple cider and of course all the apples! Out back there are ponies to ride, tiny tractors to race. It's magical. 

This past year we added to our "routine" and wandered around the orchard. The branches of the trees were weighed down under all of the apples. Long shadows were cast across the path. I HAD to paint it. 

This painting will be included with my series "Simple Roots" to be shown at Forest Hills Fine Art Center in Grand Rapids in January.

Tonight at Northgoods in Petoskey a group show entitled "Colors Of Autumn" opens. Talented local artists will be displaying their fall inspired pieces. Come and see them! The show runs through the end of the month. 

This is my piece that I will be entering into the show. I really enjoy walks through the autumn woods and birch trees are just the most beautiful thing come fall. The white against all the bright colors just adds to the crispness.

Autumn is here! My favorite season of the year. The air is crisp and it's time to visit the apple orchard for cider and doughnuts. I love the trees in all of their glorious color. 

Speaking of trees, if you've never done so (and even if you have) you should check out The Tunnel Of Trees this fall when you look for a spot to do a "color tour." A scenic heritage route that is about 28 miles long, enjoy trees in all their autumn splendor beginning just outside of Petoskey. If you choose you can travel through Harbor Springs, Goodhart and Cross Village all the way up to Sturgeon Bay Dunes along the Lake Michigan shoreline. 

Some stops that I recommend: 

Kilwins and Between The Covers in Harbor Springs

Pond Hill Farm

Goodhart General Store

Three Pines Studio and Legs Inn in Cross Village

Sturgeon Bay Dunes Shoreline

If you happen to be traveling the route on a Saturday stop by Goodhart General Store from 2-5:30 pm to experience Goodhart Market Days. Local farmers, craftspeople and artists will be displaying and selling their wares and is definitely something to see. I'll be there selling recent work and tiles. 

Come see us!

At The Pumpkin Farm

      When I was a kid I always looked forward to our annual trip to the pumpkin patch. It took me a good hour at least to pick my pumpkin and then I had to lug it back to the car. Usually, this required Dad's help. Now that I'm grown I still try to make it yearly to get a pumpkin and carve it into a jack-o-lantern. Its always so much fun and baking the pumpkin seeds afterwards is great. When I have kids I'll carry on that tradition, until then its fun to watch other families on pumpkin day.

Afternoon Walk

   A vibrant painting of a young couple out for a walk with their dog. I had a lot of fun adding all the color in this picture. Can't you almost smell the autumn leaves? Not that I'm trying to rush anything. SO happy that summer is finally here! Can't wait to get outside and enjoy it later today!
