Day 3 - Pontiac Artist Residency - Calumet Island

Had a great time today at the beach in Calument Island at the artist residency.  

Nature-based plein air workshop “River

Journey” with Rob Hinchley.

What a great teacher!  Very inspiring!

Everybody had an enjoyable and 

creative day!

Hi!  That's me.  Everyone really liked my homemade easel (made at the beach).
