Upper Range Light

After scouting a shrinking shoreline, messy with debris, I walked across and down the road to this gem.  Walking along the boardwalks, the flora and fauna were pristine in their natural beauty.  The morning light streamed across the landscape, begging to be painted.  I chose ink and watercolor for this delicate scene, and worked quickly to capture that fleeting light.  It want long before shadows shortened and the golden hour passed.  So thankful I was present for the moment.  Painting number 2410 in 2410 days.

Morning at Moonlight Bay

Morning at Moonlight Bay
Door County, WI
Oil on panel, 14x11

Well, I have finally found some Wi-Fi here in Door County, but the signal is weak.  Here is this morning's paint from the marsh just north of Ridges Sanctuary on the Lake Michigan side.  The distant body of water is that lake.  The beauty around here is just breath-taking - I couldn't capture all of it if I lived here.  I painted with eight or nine other artists along the road, each lined up almost shoulder to shoulder!  I will attach those photos at a later date.  I just can't wait to capture another marsh in oils.....I hope I have enough time.  This is painting number 204 in 204 days - and I am loving Door County!
