Sailing

"Sailing"

8"x10" Original Acrylic On Canvas Panel 

                                           

I felt like doing something new so I ventured out and bought some new art supplies. I have to say, it was a lot of fun to push acrylic paint around rather than doing watercolor washes. Not that I'm through with watercolors, but every once in a while it's fun to mix things up. I find that it brings some excitement and freshness back to my work. 

This painting comes unframed.

This was a fun painting to do! I've been working on drawing people (something I was never very good at) and I dare say I've made a bit of progress. These happy hikers have reached the end of the trail and are overjoyed with their success! They did it! They walked the whole thing!

Campfire Couple

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.

This was an interesting painting to do. With the rocky cliff taking up most of it, I tried to make it interesting. The rock along the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore is beautiful and full of colors from all the minerals. This brave little kayaker ventured out into Lake Superior to get a closer look.

I really enjoy hiking and going for walks in the woods. It's peaceful and calming to me. It also fills me with inspiration and if I've brought my sketchbook or camera along I come home with a wealth of material for paintings. 

A few years ago my father and I hiked a part of the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore Trail. We made it from the beginning at Munising Falls to Chapel Beach. The whole trail is 40 some miles long and I believe we covered about a third of it in 2 days. Some day I want to go back and finish it but in the mean time I enjoy visiting the highlights of the trail by doing day hikes. 

In the painting above, these campers are in for the long haul and are dutifully headed to their next camp for the night. 

Happy Memorial Day!
