Breakwall Watchers

"Breakwall Watchers"

8"x10" original watercolor and pen on paper

Available at Pieces on Mitchell Street in Petoskey 

This is a view you can see quite often at Bayfront Park in Petoskey. Across the bay is Harbor Springs. Sailboats populate the summer waters and people walk the shorelines looking for Petoskey Stones. 

I miss summer. Can you tell? 

Speaking of summer, I was chosen to be one of the artists for Lansing Art Gallery's Summer Camp! I'll be teaching July 21st-24th. I am excited to be working with the kids! 

Registration will be open soon. Keep an eye out on Lansing Art Gallery's website. 

Beach Combing

"Lake Michigan Treasure Hunt"

5"x7"

When you visit Petoskey you'll probably find several people walking the beaches looking for a Petoskey Stone. It's a popular past time here and it's always a thrill to find one of your very own. I've found a few in my lifetime and I have some of them sitting on the desk where I paint. It's a nice reminder of summer when the winter snow seems to stay forever. 

Today is the Plein Air Paint Out in Glen Arbor! Dozens of artists are crawling all over Leelanau County looking for that perfect scene to paint! Come out and see what we accomplished this afternoon at the wet painting sale tonight! It's from 5:30-7:30 at the Glen Arbor Art Association. 

Also, I'm teaching a beginner's watercolor class on Wednesday, August 14th. It's a morning class as I've had a few people want to take it but they couldn't do the afternoon. It's at the Cycling Salamander in Charlevoix from 9:30 am-12. If you'd like to join us contact the gallery at 231-838-6460. Cost is $50/person. All materials are provided so you don't have to do anything but show up!
