Wooded Dunes of West Michigan

I painted this while at Hoffmaster State Park on the shore of Lake Michigan.  Pictured are the trees on wooded sand dunes.  Right now the colors are in their glory.  It's wonderful to get out and see them. 
To learn more about the Great Lakes and their wooded dunes, read The Dynamic Great Lakes.  Available from Barnes & Noble, Schulerbooks, Amazon's Kindle and many other fine bookstores.

Autumnal Equinox on the Great Lakes

Autumnal Equinox.  Yes, the trees are turning brilliant colors: gold, vermilion, rust, and all combinations of patterns and shapes.  This is a scene I painted at Hoffmaster State Park on the wooded dunes of West Michigan.

At the park you can hike the trails and see displays of how the sand dunes were formed and the species of plants and animals found therein.

For more information about the Great Lakes, my book, The Dynamic Great Lakes may be ordered here: Barbara Spring, 1416 Lake Ave. Grand Haven, MI 49417.  Send $17.00 and your address and I will send you a book
