Dunes

"Meinert Dunes", oil on linen panel, 11x14

I had a chance to go with friends to paint at Meinert Park, north of Muskegon. It was a very nice beach with interesting features of dune formations and a creek running through and going into Lake Michigan. There were very few other people there even though the day was very warm, but I am sure the lake was quite cold. After walking around a bit to get a feel for the landscape, I decided to paint these dunes that slope down toward the water. We plan on returning to this beautiful beach area.
