Fall Memories

It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve shared on this blog and we have moved from lovely fall weather to cold and snow temps with ice covering the lake and this weekend, back to lovely warm weather and an open lake again. You have to hang on – the weather changes on a whim! It’s been a tough season for my mom who has been in and out of the hospital twice in the past three weeks and is now working to recover strength and health. And Paul and I are struggling to recover from flu, ear and sinus infection – to the extent that we had to cancel our family Thanksgiving gathering. So disappointing . . . but we put the tree up, got out all our Christmas movies and are looking forward to happier days soon!  

This week’s painting recalls a wonderful trip to the Keweenaw Peninsula in Upper Michigan. This Liltie Series, Ontonagon Autumn, is 4” x 6” on 300 lb. watercolor paper and captures this beautiful lighthouse in its fall colors.

Playing with Watercolors

It was a great class today at Tin Cat Studio in Amery, WI - playing with watercolor and learning techniques for painting evening skies, watery reflections and big rocks! Thank you to these amazing artists and our one unknown, really quiet visitor! Thank you, Lisa and Randy Lee, for sharing your store classroom space with us!
