Painted on a day that threatened rain. The dark blue sky served as a perfect foil for this colorful field. Mosquitos came near sunset and the friend I was painting with said jokingly, "we better call in the Swat Team". Too funny.
The garden by the Charlevoix Lighthouse on a sunny day. Liked the garden and the car parked on the hill too. Others liked the bright colors and the small details of the people by the water when seeing the painting full scale.
Painted at Bill's Farm Market on location with a shadow framing the upper left of the painting highlighting the garden and light in the field beyond. This will be used as a study for a much larger painting as well.
