Oil on canvas, 14" x 14". I was fascinated with this unusual view of the Harbor, and the patterns and the perspective. It was a challenging piece and I really struggled with it for a long time.<br />

Oil on canvas, 11" x 14" - This plein air (on location) painting was completed in July a couple years ago. Loved the mystery of the location and the simple architectural elements and the strong light coming in from the right side. Available for sale.<br />

Oil on canvas, 18" x 24". This stand of pines, planted in the early 50's has matured into a beautiful grove. Recently, while passing by, I noticed glowing sunlight filtering through the trees, illuminating a small patch of snow . It spoke of peace that God gives in the midst of the storm. </div>

Oil on canvas, 24" x 30" This painting is another variation of a northern Michigan lake that has been the focus of several paintings over the past 10 years. I am leaving this piece a little unfinished for fear of overworking the lily pads and ending up with a stiff painting that is so, so easy to have happen! Mary E.

Oil on board, 8" x 10" - This small work is the 4th in a series of oils of a homestead in the Sleeping Bear Dunes park in northwestern Michigan. I have purposely left it loose with not a lot of detail because it is more of a study in color and composition. Chances are good that this piece will be developed into a larger painting in the near future. Mary E.

I was recently honored to be interviewed for the radio series -"<u>After Water</u>" that is considering the fluxuation of the water levels in the Great Lakes from a variety of view points including economic, ecological as well as aesthetic. A photographer from Michigan will also be part of this interview. It is scheduled to air within the next few days and will also be livestreamed to other stations. You can visit the website- www.WBEZ.org for the airtime schedule. Mary E.

Oil on canvas, 30" x 24" This painting was inspired by one of my favorite places in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. There is a 200 ft. drop off the side of this ledge overlooking Chapel Falls. This painting is one of 2 oils that will be part of the upcoming exhibition - " Three Decades of Art at NMC" at the Art and Design Center, Traverse City, Michigan.

Oil on canvas, 24" x 36" This is the 2nd oil in a series of oils focusing on the Crystal River in Leelanau County. I have decided to keep this piece as soft as possible and quite understated. It is very close to completion... I have been looking at it for several months now, afraid to carry it too far to the point of being overworked. Mary E.

<b>Oil on canvas, 18" x 24"</b> There is such wonder in looking over the distant fields and gazing up at the sky filled with billowing clouds on a late summer afternoon. Just makes you want to dream!

Oil on canvas, 10" x 10" ea. - I thought I would post something different than my usual landscapes.... I am fascinated with the sailboats on Reeds Lake. Just an exploration of color and design in a square format. Mary E.

<strong>Oil on canvas - 8" x 8"</strong> This is the 3rd in a series of paintings of a path along the edge of the shoreline at Hoffmaster State Park that I have found particularly interesting. This path is still visible in my earlier paintings, however the area to the right has been siginificantly carved out by erosion. This painting is on display at Lake Effect Gallery, Holland, Michigan.
