Yellow House, Harbor Springs Michigan
The Yellow House (c) Diane Tasselmyer 8" x 10" oil on canvas

Harbor Springs has many many homes and views which when put together offer mucho painting opportunities.
I have always enjoyed this cheerful yellow house in winter. The snow always resonated nicely with the yellows and blues. I finally painted it where it rests on highway 119 above the town and the Little Traverse Bay.

PAINTING TIP ..Discover What You Like Best About Your Work!! And re-visit those things!

OK  ...SO WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT YOUR WORK???  HUH???Let that ferment in the ole brain for a bit.

 FOR ME AS AN ARTIST  they are...

1.  The Paint itself !!!!  the physical act of pushing, mixing, stroking and  applying the paint with my brush or palette knife.  Gooping the paint onto my palette gives me a thrill! .. and then linking that feeling with how to translate all that into the idea in my

 mind.  It makes me "feel" good!

2.  Seeing the Moment..Seizing the Idea !!   when something floats past my "image zone" , my eyes ..and I get that SPARK in my creativity center......Knowing I can make it into a piece of new work and wanting to!

3.  Developing new Artwork Material    sometimes I am overwhelmed by the sheer number of things I want to paint.  I'm like the kid in the candy store..there are so many ideas to paint, it's a delight to pick any one of them. .. below is something I am developing right now.

Which brings me around to say...it's good to re-visit the things you like best about what you do..about  YOUR work.  It helps you stay rooted.

Chateau Chantal Michigan Wines and Michigan Vineyards Worldclass

Chateau Chantal Michigan Wines and Michigan Vineyards Worldclass

The view from Chateau Chantal on Mission Peninsula north of Traverse City Michigan is an inspiration to artists as well as wine makers. Mission Peninsula and Chateau Chantal have the right climate for producing the first rate grapes needed for superior wines.

Michigan wines and Mission Peninsula also produce first rate paintings and art. The western side of Michigan is host to that special climate that produces many, many kinds of fruit and grapes.
I admit it was the view that first drew me to Chateau Chantal and to create this painting. Now I wonder if they have an "artist in residence" program there? hmmmmmmmm very interesting, indeed!

Bar Harbor, Harbor Springs, Michigan Night

BAR HARBOR, Harbor Springs, Michigan is one of this area's favorite haunts for a beer and a burger. On a corner across from a marina, this Michigan hangout is not one to miss when in Northwest Michigan.
I painted this scene of the Bar Harbor because it appealed to me as a night scene. It took on it's own atmosphere and the Spirit of the Night! There will be more NIGHT Michigan paintings available here so stay tuned for more. Maybe a couple of sailors would have have made a nice addition to this.
Whether you are in a small Lake Michigan Shore town or off the beaten track, Michigan has lots of local places for great food and beverages. These places can add a lot of color to your Michigan adventure. I've even spotted a few artists in the BAR HARBOR of Harbor Springs!!

The Bluff in Harbor Springs, Michigan is perhaps one of the most popular views of the Little Traverse Bay as it flows into Lake Michigan.
