Campfire Couple

"Campfire Couple" 

7"x5" Original Watercolor And Pen On Paper 

Available soon at Fuzzy Boyak Welcome Center in Munising! 

Today is the day I am traveling up to Munising to drop off all the artwork I've been posting. The Munising Bay Arts Association invited me to join them for the summer and I am thrilled to have my artwork there! 

This couple is unwinding from a day of hiking at their lakeside campsite by the campfire. I had a lot of fun changing up from what I normally paint. Mostly it was an experiment in light for me. I hope to do more like this one and am tossing the idea around of trying a larger version in acrylics.  

Winter Along The Creek

My husband and I were thrilled when local temperatures recently broke freezing temps. We celebrated by going for a walk at a local fish hatchery.

 (It's been below zero since Christmas, this was a BIG DEAL)

  Oden Fish Hatchery is a neat place to bring kids in the warmer months. They have many unique educational experiences and great walking trails. You can view fish at every stage of life and there's a cool below-ground observation area where you can watch the fish in the stream. 

My parents took me and my sister here when we were kids and I loved it. It wasn't as "fancy" then as it is now. When I first  went it was a couple of long waterways that you walked around by precariously balancing on cement dividers. Today it is much more family friendly. 

In the winter, it's a quiet little place. We enjoyed our walk along the streams, basking in the sunlight we so craved. Here's hoping there's more of it on the way!
