Painting from life is a great way to meditate on the world around you. To notice the colors and the structures in our beautiful world is such a blessing. This final painting from Saint Joseph, Michigan was painted plein air on the beach with freezing temperatures and gusty winds. It was enough to make the effort nothing less than pure adventure. The lighthouse in this painting was the location from where the two previous paintings were made. By this time, the winds had picked up greatly and huge swells crashed against the pier. I could not help but be impressed by the strength of those structures to withstand such harsh conditions.
Special thanks to my brother-in-law, my host and invaluable assistant, for blocking the winds from knocking my easel over. I hope to visit this beautiful place again... preferably in the warmer months.
