Discovering Inspiration

Morning Moon - Lake Superior, pastel, 36x24, $2400. framed

I love to discover new inspiration! 
Last summer my family spent some vacation time in the Upper Peninsula. We are fortunate to have friends with a home in Grand Marais and we spent time with them hiking, biking, picking up colorful rocks and bonfires on the beach during a moon lit evening. Grand Marais is a wonderful small town and we throughly enjoyed the beauty of the area with the backdrop of incredible Lake Superior. 
Paintings are everywhere you look! These paintings have all been inspired by our visit in Grand Marais.
