Empire Dune

6" x 6" Oil on Panel



This is the Empire Dune at Sleeping Bear Dunes in Michigan. The original painting I did was done on site in about a 30 mile per hour wind. My big brimmed hat blew off, so I put on my baseball cap and tied in to my head with a bandana. I must have been a site! It was a beautiful day except for that wind blowing - no umbrella in use that day. I had to check my colors by holding a pizza box over my head to create some shade. There were changes I wanted to make in the painting which is the reason for the Daily Painting of Empire Dune.
