Lake Michigan

It's almost July and time to think about how wonderful the eastern shore of Lake Michigan can be at this time of year. I thought about trying to finish this painting in time for the summer member show, but it just didn't happen. Acrylic on canvas. 30" by 40" gallery wrapped.

The Pastor's House

I seem to recall this was the pastor's house next to a church in Calumet, Michigan. I abandoned the normal artistic arrangement to take this photo straight on, to emphasize the strictly balanced facade, the dark shadow facing those who would approach the door, and the windows that don't let you see in, but reflect all that is around, the barred basement windows and the vivid blue windows of the upper stories.
