Our friends have made it safely past the field of poppies and are on their merry way to OZ! 

I painted this for the Wizard Of Oz festival, held every summer in Ionia, MI. I'm going to make prints as well.

I had a special request for a Christmas card design after my post last week. I was so excited to make an addition to my Starry Animals series and tie in one of my favorite Christmas Songs. The title of this painting should give you a clue ;)

Pastel Sunrise #1

"Pastel Sunrise #1" 

5"x7" Original Watercolor On Paper

I've been working on improving my skies lately. Which has led to a lot of fun experimenting. I really like the softness in this on and the strokes that stayed in the sky. Watercolor can be so much fun to work with!

Watching The Bay

"Watching The Bay" 

5"x7" Original Watercolor On Paper

To Buy This Painting Click Here

The beaches of Northern Michigan provide me with endless inspiration. The colors and the scape of the land are so intriguing to me that I find a scene to paint where ever I am! Wouldn't you love to sit in one of these chairs for a while and just breathe in summer? 

Cheboygan Crib Lighthouse

"Cheboygan Crib Light"

7"x5" Original Watercolor On Paper

To Buy This Painting Click Here. 

This cute little crib lighthouse sits at the mouth of the river in my hometown. In the summer, boaters come in from Lake Huron to travel the inland waterway and the beach is packed with swimmers. 

I was feeling a bit homesick so I painted this to help. It surprises me sometimes, how very much paintings are a result of emotion. 

Have A Great Weekend Everyone! 

Sailing Into The Light

"Sailing Into The Light"

A friendly little sailboat, making it's way back home at sunset. 

This painting gave me a feeling of peace while working on it. The blending of the colors in the sky and the dancing light on the lake's surface just soothed me. So glad to live in Michigan, surrounded by all of this water! 

Also, if you're looking for a fun night out with some friends, how about learning watercolor? I'm teaching a class in St. John's Michigan on the 22nd! 

Come join us! 

Shadows On Mosquito Beach

"Shadows On Mosquito Beach"

7"x5" Original Watercolor On Paper

SOLD

Several years ago now, my father and I backpacked a section of the Pictured Rocks Lakeshore Trail in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. One particular morning we had our breakfast on Mosquito Beach (not nearly as terrible as it sounds!) and enjoyed the view of Lake Superior. 

I was digging through my photo references and found this scene from that particular morning. It's been 8 or 9 years now, almost to the day, that we made that trip and I was first inspired to paint this.

Have A Marvelous Labor Day Weekend Everyone!

Autumn Lakeshore Miniature

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.

A happy couple enjoying a picnic on the beach. This is one of my favorite dates!

Chair With A View Miniature

"Chair With A View"

2.5"x3.5" Original Miniature Watercolor

Available At Northgoods In Petoskey!

The name of this is "Chair With A View" because who wouldn't love to sit here for hours and just take it all in? 

I'm thinking of doing a larger version of this painting, one I can really imagine myself being in.

My sister is in town visiting this weekend so I've pre-posted some of my recent work for galleries. That way I can spend more time with her instead of in front of the computer. I will get back to painting my Starry Animals and more next week! 

Starry Otter

"Starry Otter" 

7"x5" Original Watercolor On Paper

Click Here To Purchase

I've added an otter to my Starry Animals series! This little guy was hard to get the proportions correct on. I think he turned out pretty cute though. 

Otters were always one of my favorite animals to visit at the zoo (still are). They're just so much fun to watch! They just glide through the water and always want to play. Who couldn't love them? 

Prints and cards are available with this and other Starry Animals images! 

Starry Raccoon

"Starry Raccoon"

7"x5" Original Watercolor

The latest addition to my Starry Animals series. This little raccoon has managed to grab himself a star! What he'll do with it now I haven't a clue. But he sure seems happy to have it! 

Prints and cards are available of any of the Starry Animals series. Just message me at sarahtuleart@yahoo.com to place an order!

My husband and I recently headed up north for a few days to spend time with family. My husband's grandparents own a fabulous place on Lake Michigan. We were sitting out on the deck when this storm began it's way across the lake. I took several pictures to practice painting clouds and lake colors.

Starry Fox

Sunflower Splatter

"Sunflower Splatter"

5"x7" Original Watercolor On Paper

I had a lot of fun the other day playing around with techniques. I had done a painting of sunflowers and wanted to jazz it up a bit. I think the splatter turned out well. It's different than what I normally do and was refreshing to paint. 

Poppies #1

I just love the bright, cheerful color of poppies don't you? The reds and oranges in these fun little flowers are just so vibrant. I couldn't resist painting them.
