Lake Michigan Beach #1

One of my favorite places on our road trip this summer was a campground along the shores of Lake Michigan when the day was warm, the water clear and cool, and we had the beach all to ourselves. It was a golden time...a rich memory that I want to keep forever! I thought about doing a painting while we were there, but was too busy just enjoying the sun and sand.We spent the whole afternoon in our swim suits on the beach. Ahhhh. So I took pictures instead, and here is my first pastel painting of the area...and I think it won't be the last one. :)
