Macatawa

I painted this fairly simple view from the porch of the cottage in Macatawa on Lake Michigan. All the sailboats were out for a weekly race when I sketched it, and I painted using morning to mid-morning lighting. I'm heading out for the North Cascades early Monday morning and I'm very excited! Also, I finally finished my portrait of Mary-Kate Olsen, I chose an image of her only because it had good lighting and I loved the eye, and wanted to practice doing a very realistic face!
