Yesterday I was able to paint again with the PAAWM group out at Wau-ke-na North tract. Despite the 85 degree heat, it was a beautiful morning up on the bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. There were Monarch butterflies flitting all around me as I painted. Fortunately I brought my beach cart to pile with gear as the walk was maybe 3/4 to a mile from parking to bluff.
Arriving home, I found the patio full with Kris and the boys with guests. All boats went in the water, all squirt guns and two tanks of gas for the wave runner. They had a blast jumping off the dock and paddling everywhere. Mitch is practicing running the wave runner now and studying for his boating license in anticipating of cutting loose. Yikes!!
Good news this morning...my painting of Pilgrim Haven Access was chosen for the 2017 Painted Sanctuary Calendar. They will also have a reception on Sept 17 with an exhibit of all the paintings submitted. Calendars will be available at the Art Walk for sale...$15. if anyone wants one. Proceeds for SWM Land Conservancy to be used to purchase and upgrade properties. They are saving some beautiful tracts of land for our children and grandchildren to come.
Congratulations on being in the calendar! I'm certainly not surprised.
