Morning Walk

My husband and I have a thing for driving on back roads. The thing is, sometimes we drive so far down them they're not really roads anymore at all. Nature begins to close in and soon trees are sweeping gently at your side mirrors. This painting is based off of several photos that I took. One photo being the two track in winter.   We were bored one day in December and went for a drive. We ended up in this beautiful area and I felt compelled to capture it. 

This painting is 11x14" and can be purchased by bidding in the Daily Paintworks auction by clicking here. Alternatively you can contact me about purchasing it by email at: sarahtuleart@yahoo.com or by phone at (248) 977-0732. 

Apologies

This past week I've been working hard on getting a few commissions done. I apologize for my lack of posting but I'm fairly certain these paintings are to remain a secret until they are delivered. I plan to do some smaller paintings this weekend while I wait for responses from clients and I'll be sure to post those in the next few days. Until then, thank you for checking out my blog and my art!

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND! 

Ice Fishing

Here in northern Michigan, a popular winter time activity is ice fishing. I indulge every once in a while when I know the ice is thick enough. Those guys that go out on an inch of ice...well...we have different opinions of what is safe and what isn't. 

I painted this piece for a friend. She has enjoyed ice fishing with her family her whole life. I hope she also enjoys the painting. 

The Fruit Market

I love going to the local Farmer's Market in the summer and perusing for treasures. I usually buy some flowers or herbs for cooking. However, I am also known to come home with a large assortment of veggies, fruits and honey. 

A local farm called Lavender Hill Farms sells lavender honey and other lavender goods during the summer months. If you live in or are visiting the Petoskey area and have never tried any of their treats I highly suggest it! Their farm is also a beautiful place to visit if you don't mind the steady drone of bees working. If you are unable to see it for yourself, fear not! They ship! Check out Lavender Hill Farm's website by clicking here.

Catching Up

  Two sled dog teams fly along over the snow in the winter woods. 

I had the privilege of seeing a sled dog race up close and personal a few years ago and hope to see more come February and March here in northern Michigan. Anyone know of some races I could go and see?

On a side note, I'd like to thank everyone for making the first Manna Food Project art auction a success! Stay tuned for next month's painting! 

Winter Sunset

This sunset was a few weeks ago before Christmas but I kept coming back to the photos of it in my folder and I really wanted to paint it. The colors weren't bright, bold pinks and oranges but instead were cool blue and purple tones. It felt as much like winter as I've ever felt but it was calming.
