The Story Behind the Art
A Sunny Day in Charlevoix: Original 6 x 6 inch acrylic painted with brush and palette knife on gallery wrapped canvas.
I painted this painting of our beloved lighthouse after a creative slump. I had not painted in at least a month. No painting found objects with decorative designs… I hadn’t pick up a brush! And certainly not for an actual “painting” painting (painting OF something) in much longer. I had done some abstract paintings to clear my mind, but I don’t think that is in the same part of your right brain as figure and landscape painting!
My son Ryder, had gifted me the book Daily Painting by Carol Marine for Christmas. Just what I needed… Very inspirational! I, of course, knew all the painting techniques that were covered but to read her positive words about what to paint, to paint small, and every day really hit home. Sometimes artists get stuck in a rut and then they get the equivalent to what is call writer’s block. Another thing she said was to paint something I was familiar with! Well, I thought, my good friend the lighthouse! As soon as I decided on my subject and pulled out my references the sun came out. And we have “A Sunny Afternoon in Charlevoix”.

All paintings are photographed in natural light to bring out the texture and truest color of the painting. I try my best to match the colors in the photo to the artwork but slight differences may occur in color due to differences in monitor screens, and lighting conditions under which the artwork is viewed.
