Beach Trees

Plein air pastel landscape painting of trees along the Lake Michigan beach near Charlevoix.

Pastel painting 8.5 inches x 11 inches

Please contact me if you are interested in this painting or similar artwork.

The weather was perfect when we were "up north." I was wandering along the Lake Michigan coast near the Charlevoix lighthouse and saw this colorful scene peaking through the trees. It was early morning and the light on the field and lake drew my attention. It seemed like a good view for a pastel landscape so I opened up my trunk and painted from my mobile studio. That's one of the things I love about pastels: very easy to work on the road!
