Theme: Pentwater

My theme for the next few pieces is going to be related to Pentwater, Michigan. It's a small town on Lake Michigan, just south of Ludington, that my family and I spent a lot of time at. My grandparents built a small cottage in the birch trees that we vacationed in every summer (and a few winters) since I was little and I have lots of memories from. Since my grandma passed away almost seven years ago, we haven't gone as much because it feels a little empty. My art will be reflections of things I remember, did, saw, and felt while "up north." From spending days at the beach building sand castles, eating corn on the cob, going fishing with my Jaja, and watching the Scotville Clown Band play, I miss and love Pentwater. My first drawing is of the S.S. Badger, a car ferry that docks in Ludington and makes the trip across Lake Michigan to Manitowoc, Wisconisin. I remember how enormous and almost scary that ship looked to me, floating in the water, bobbing up and down.
