I was driving back to Traverse City from Chicago to pick my son up that was coming home for winter break. I was taken by the winter colors and the contours of this hilly landscape just north of Cadillac, Michigan.
I managed to snap a few photos along the way. When I got back to my studio I reviewed the images for a reminder of the colors, then I painted this from memory.
I love living in a place that has all the seasons.
