Blue Heaven seems appropriate for a Michigan school exhibit. Lake Michigan is ever present while at home, in Ludington. The drive between Ann Arbor and Ludington, as a student was arduous, meaning: finding a ride home! After the long drive, we often wished to drive directly to the park on the lake and walk the 1/4 mile pier, to feel even more the presence of Lake Michigan.
Painted after a storm, feeling the distance across into the space where the clouds meet the water.
Happy Birthday Michigan!
