Have you ever been to a Lake Michigan "fish boil"?????? Yummmmm...Lip Smackin' ...It was my first!!!!! What a great time was had by all on Readmond Twp. Beach. I could spend the whole week there painting!!!!Having now discovered the culinary delights of the three amigos !! each food boiled and tossed onto long checkered tablecloths for the pickins' I proceeded to be astounded by the setting. When the night arrives, the party is over (or moves somewhere else)This painting was truly a spectacle to create..I wanted to get the softness of the approaching haze across the water while keeping the intimacy of a picnic on the beach.
Have a dull, drab wall in your house? this may be the ticket to a one minute vacation that you can visit anytime..or for sweet memories of a great beach or a FISH BOIL .this painting INCLUDES ship/handling.

Any painting done at any time of the day seems
to always come out right at this spot. Michigan
is fortunate to be the home of the fabulous
Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore,
the city of Empire, on Lake Michigan. Otter
lake is one inland lake in this area that sports
hiking, fishing, swimming, and being lazy.
This oil painting was part of a series of larger of
works done solely in this park. At the time I
was in my first year of using the new "water
base" oil paints. They are now very popular.
Clean up with water and No turpentine needed
was what drew me to them.
The landscape is sandy pines, sand bottom lake,
gentle breezes, dappled shade and a couple
vintage cottages. Painting here seems as natural
as breathing. Open your easel or paint box,
smell the pine breeze, lay out your paints, smell
the pine breeze, select your scene and the mood
of this spot will put your paintbrush flying.
