Discover here my adventure in watercolor: how I learned by painting the view from the same Lake Michigan cottage window 160 times in eight months. My efforts resulted in two posters, Lake Effects I and Lake Effects II (Now out of print.)

Lake Lover's Year offers an intimate look in two creative processes: writing, which I have been doing professionally for more than 25 years, and painting, which has been a more recent adventure. The book includes over a hundred full-color water colors of the Great Lakes.
