Art Walk Saturday...

George thought I was crazy as I walked out the door on Saturday to attend the paint out and sale in Pilgrim Haven near South Haven.  It poured rain, at times torrentially, during the hour long drive to the shore.  But, I love to paint out there, they have gone to a lot of trouble and were counting on the artists being there....so here I was.  And the tent was up with everyone scurrying around to set up grids and get the art hung and tables ready for the demos.  Light rain continued until almost noon and I sat in my hatch sketching for a while just to keep busy.

Finally radar showed the rain moving on and the artists came out to begin the days work.  It is a beautiful piece of property owned now by the SW Michigan Land Conservancy.  The shoreline is picturesque and there is a stream running through the deep woods.  Formerly a camp, it has been preserved over the time.

Able to paint for about three hours, I enjoyed the view from the bluff not far from where I painted last time.  I posted it on Facebook earlier but worked on the painting again yesterday.  It's coming along!

I was happy to find out my calendar painting  sold today.  Yea!!
