Upcoming SOBO Art Festival





Sorry I haven't been posting.  The truth is this place is a mad house lately. My husband and I are moving and packing up takes seemingly forever. I'm also preparing for the SOBO Arts Festival on the 28th. It's held in Boyne City and there are many fabulous artists attending. Please come!
The images are of some local lake paintings I did. I've made them into 4"x4" tiles and will be selling them at the festival. They'd be great for a kitchen backslash, a hot plate, coasters or just for display.

Frozen Bay Minis

"Frozen Bay #2"
2.5"x3.5" Original Watercolor and Pen 

"Frozen Bay #1"
2.5"x3.5" Original Watercolor and Pen 


Here are a few more additions to my series "100 Tiny Views Of Lake Michigan." 
In stark contrast to our vibrant summer, these paintings only used 2 or 3 colors. 
I can't say that I miss winter yet. I'm enjoying the sun. Yet, the series wouldn't be complete without the heaps of snow that line the shore 4 months out of the year.

Dud

"Twilight On 119"
7"x5" Original Watercolor and Pen 

Sometimes the project you're working on just doesn't turn out like you want. It's a dud despite all of your best intentions. 
This painting, for me, is a dud. 
I thought "Oh how cool would it be if I painted 119 at sunset?" well....it might be a cool idea but I'm gonna have to try again cause this isn't it. 

On a brighter note;
 HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO ALL THOSE GREAT DADS OUT THERE!

Mim's Mediterranean Grill

"Mims Mediterranean Grill" 
5"x7" Original Watercolor And Pen 

Mim's is one of my favorite places to eat in Petoskey. Located just north of town, it's hard to miss with its bright exterior. The staff who work here are just as vibrant and the food.....mmmmmm......delicious!

Whoo! Just making it in under the wire today! 
This is the view of the Petoskey country side out on Mitchell Street near Bills Farm Market. It's gorgeous scenery 360 degrees around. The hills go on forever it seems. And all of the shades of green!
