Last Saturday I joined the PAAWM group to paint at Pilgrim Haven Preserve on Lake Michigan near South Haven. It was an absolutely beautiful day there with only a tiny breeze for most of the morning. I set up my easel on the beach and enjoyed using my pastels to capture the lake shore vista. This property is part of the SW Michigan Land Conservancy and to celebrate the recent acquisition they invited their members to visit and watch as the artists painted throughout the property. High on the bluff the land is wooded with a stream meandering through and down to the lake. Our group paints regularly on the conservancy properties and they then select a group of paintings to become the calendar for the year. One day I hope to have one of mine chosen..but first I need to get them entered!!
I left about 1:30 but many of the artists continued happily painting away. A bit too hot and windy on the beach by then for me!!!
