Gunflint

In the Grand Marais area of northern Minnesota, one of our favorite things to do is drive the Gunflint Trail. It’s a narrow, winding road with miles of deep forest on both sides and small access points to Superior National Hiking Trail, moose sighting areas and glimpses of the many lakes, wetlands and rivers that run through the landscape. It is also one of the gateways to the Boundary Water Canoe Area (BWCAW) and the myriad of protected lakes and lands in that region.

I’m getting ready for the Family Friends and Neighbors exhibit to be held in July at the wonderful Balsam Arts Gallery in Balsam Lake, WI. It will be a display of a variety of art by local artists. This week’s painting is titled Gunflint, 7”x15” on 300 lb. watercolor paper, and features one of the many picturesque lakes along this scenic road.
