Lucky that this machine was parked here for a while, so that I was able to take a few days to finalize this one for the @jamesgurneyart "Paint a Parking Lot" Challenge. Working in gouache and moleskine sketchbook. This is the parking lot near the Ore Dock in Marquette, MI. June 28–July 2 (rained several days in the middle of this span). . . . #parkinglotchallenge #pleinair #gouachepainting #sketchbook #constructionequipment #marquettemi #onlocation #parkinglot #heatwave #instaart

Quick trip to the Unnamed Morgan Falls today for the first time. Had to walk the dirt road a while because my car is not able to cross the high waters in a couple spots. . . . #pleinair #waterfall #watercolorpainting #forest #landscapepainting #puremichigan #getlost
