A Good Place to Sit

Isn’t this joyous?

I went downtown Grand Marais looking for something that brought me joy, to paint. And this little structure on the water grabbed my eye from a couple blocks away. I parked as close as I could and spent the morning painting it. It rotated constantly, so every time it came into the same position I would paint details as fast as I could. And if it came into the same rotation with a different side forward, I’d work on finding the light and shadow colors.
