Morning Walk

I love walking in the mornings, especially when the sky is all lit up with cotton candy clouds and the sun is reflecting on the snow. Today there were bare patches of leaves and needles under the trees and for a moment they looked like they were on fire.

Walking in the woods with the doggies and came across this big boy leaning over the road like he’s a boss or something. I take my life lessons where I can find them.

This painting is from a walk along the beach in the middle of Michigan winter. I love this time of year because there is so much drama. It’s a beautiful time to visit the beach!

Path up the Dune

This is from a wonderful walk along the dunes at the Ludington State Park which is just a half hour from where I live in Michigan. I love to come here in the winter time in the evening when the clouds and the dunes are lit from the low sun. It’s just gorgeous here.

Fresh Snow-pastel painting of a path through the woods in winter

pastel painting of a snow covered path through the snow — Fresh Snow, 9×6″ pastel painting of a snow covered road through the Manistee National Forest by Marie Marfia.

This painting is based on a walk down a two-track road in the winter time. There was deep, fresh snow all along the two-track road and a pale blush of peach just over the trees on the horizon. I love walking in the Manistee National Forest with my dogs. It inspires my work.

This painting is based on a walk down a two-track road in the winter time. My dog Daisy stopped to sniff something in the road and I took a picture to use for a painting later. I love walking the woods in the morning with my dogs. It inspires my work.
