Dune Trail, 2009
oil on canvas board, 14" x 18"
My buddy Chris and I went for a hike to Hoffmaster State Park in Muskegeon, MI this Summer and saw some great spots. One of the best things about walking out there on the dunes is seeing the rapid changes of environments. You walk through transitions from Beech and Maple woods to Pines, to Dune grasses and finally Lake Michigan. This view is from walking up the steep sand through Maple woods and seeing the Pines ahead, knowing you were getting closer to the Lake.
