Glen Haven

Another from my summer travels to Michigan. The historic town of Glen Haven sits on Sleeping Bear Bay on the north side of the dune. Once there was a large pier at this spot where lumber ships and travelers arrived from Chicago a hundred years ago. The small town has a few restored buildings and is now part of the National Parks. Next summer I'll return to paint some of those.

Harvest


I painted this for the bulletin cover of the Winnetka Interfaith Thanksgiving Service. Bushels of squash at our local farmer's market. I don't like squash but I liked the colors.
