Peaceful Day at North Bar Lake Canvas Print

This is a scene I'd like to re-live soon...a peaceful day at North Bar Lake in Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.

North Bar Lake is one of the few remaining lakes that has a natural outlet into Lake Michigan. The lake level fluctuates depending upon whether storm waves have closed the outlet, or the impounded water rises high enough to breach the sand bar and reopen the channel. The deepest part of North Bar is 35 feet, and can be found on the north end of the lake. Many visitors come here in the summer to enjoy the inland lake and Lake Michigan.

"Express your ability sincerely and that is art." In my work I emphasize quality, integrity and spontaneity. Since childhood I have found solace in the creation of art. It is my gift and I try not to waste it. My media of choice are oil painting, sculpture and photography. For me, the three disciplines borrow from each other making each one stronger! Having been a professional picture framer since 1990, the presentation aspect of the art world is always on my mind. It is amazing what a great frame can do. Co-owning Four Corners Framing Company in Holland, Michigan since 1999 has afforded me a front row seat to many types and styles of art. It has been a great and constant inspiration and keeps me on my art toes. You can visit...
