The lake is slowly waking up with these warmer days and daylight savings!
Soon the romantic call of the loons will return as they build their nests.
Fun fact #1: we have a "loon ranger" here at the lake who we report to when we spot a nest!
Preserving the loon count on the lake so important to maintaining the balance of nature.
Fun fact #2: loons are like airplanes in that they need a runway for takeoff. In the case of loons, they need from 30 yards up to a quarter mile (depending on the wind) for flapping their wings and running across the top of the water in order to gain enough speed for lift-off.
Fun fact #3: the oldest recorded Common Loon was a female, and at least 29 years old, when she was spotted in Michigan in 2016 and identified by her band. She had been banded in the same state in 1989.
*fun facts source: Cornell Lab of Ornithology
PS. If you want a great book to read: The Loonfeather by Iola Fuller is wonderful.
It is a story of an Indian girl, destined to grow up with the incompatible traditions of her own people and of the white traders on Mackinac Island.

A recent original oil painting commission of a lovely historical cottage on Hubbard Lake, Michigan called the "Honeymoon Cottage". This authentic log cabin sits on the east shore down by the waters edge where the rhythmic lapping of water can be heard while watching the sun set each evening.
So romantic!
The couple who currently own the property where this cottage sits commissioned this
painting for their main residence.

Sunflowers for Safe Haven: Helping Ukrainian Refugees
I am painting more sunflowers and here's why:
The church I attend, Fresh Water Bible Church sponsors missionaries in Romania, a bordering country of Ukraine currently being invaded by Russia. Thousands of Ukrainian refugees mostly women and children are fleeing the country of Ukraine since this senseless invasion and are desperate for shelter and food. Our missionaries can host up to sixty refugees. We were made aware women and children are starting to arrive. They need help, supplies, food, medication, formula. The national flower of Ukraine is the sunflower. So for every sunflower painting I sell I’m donating 100% of the proceeds to our missionaries in Romania giving women and children a safe haven until they have the supplies they need or can return to their country and homes again.

"Snow Moon"
5"x7"
Original Oil on archival panel
February 16(today), 2022 is the Snow Moon and it will join a cluster of planets lighting up the morning sky. Being on the east shore I am fortunate enough to see the sun rise and moon rise. From my window I hear the ice plates groaning as they move on the lake. It's especially mysterious at night. It is almost as if the lake is saying "I'm so tired of winter"
This is Hubbard Lake located about 20 miles south of Alpena, MI in the northeastern part of the state.

Mt. Mariah Sunset, Hubbard Lake, Michigan
7" x 5" on archival panel
This lovely spot holds dear memories for many who love Hubbard Lake, MI.
The resident who purchased this original oil painting shared her family has been enjoying the lake since the 1920's. She used to ski down the slope of Mt. Mariah in the day when it was a ski resort and would stop at that tree to enjoy the view. Connecting with those who purchase my work and why they purchase it fills me with joy.
