Boardwalk to the Beach

The boardwalk at the Anclam Beach is a yearly stop on the painting trail.  The curving line of sand and rocks reaches out into Lake Michigan, offering ever changing views of the coast.  This one was a quick paint as time was short  - often the story in this artist's life!  Painting number 1719 in 1719 days. 

Boardwalk to the Beach

Morning on the beach was brisk and windy, and SO inviting!  Choosing Bailey's Harbor for my first Door County painting, the boardwalk was my lead in to the painting.  The color of Lake Michigan was deep blue to green, with gold in the waves as they approached the sandy edge.  Using my polytips for the bulk of my painting, I only brought out a soft brush for the finish. Another beautiful day for painting! Painting number 1658 in 1658 days.
