This is a series of sketches completed in June and July. My family and I took a trip to the Michigan's Upper Peninsula and Door County in Wisconsin. Both of these areas border Lake Michigan and Lake Superior. They both offer beautiful shorelines and wilderness.
Some I will use as studies for later work and some were just for fun. It's good to experiment with different colors and effects and that's why I sketch for studies.

Here's how it works for me. I stretch enough of those calming, peaceful moments together and I start to notice a change in my life. I start to see more beauty in the world. I'm less cynical and more excited about daily life and almost everything else. I have these moments where I'm just thinking about how lucky I am to be able to live in these times. To be able to create and I start to see opportunities instead of obstacles.
Yes, art can have that kind of impact on a persons life. Here is a short video I made of my Art Adventure to the Great Lakes.
