Rock ‘n Roll Shoreline

There are the sandy beaches, and then there are the rocky ones like this one—where the mighty Lake Huron kisses and slaps the northern shores of Manitoulin Island.

I think both are beautiful!

(though the sandy ones are a heck of lot easier to walk on!)

So many times, an artist has to take the inspiration that nature provides and translate that experience into a pleasing design. In this case, Mother Nature did most of that design work for me, piling the rocks and stones in a pretty pile. The challenge for me was just to paint it!
