Beaver Island: I painted this scene in early spring, as the snow and ice were beginning to melt and the water took on a rich, soft blue. I was drawn to the subtle textures and movements in the lagoon, and while I worked I listened to the ice cracking and geese swimming nearby. The park supports a variety of wildlife, including migratory birds like American Bald Eagles, Great Blue Herons, and Red-tailed Hawks, as well as mammals moving quietly through the surrounding wetlands and forests. Observing these rhythms added a living presence to the landscape as I focused on capturing its seasonal color and light.
