Lake Leelanau from Clay Cliffs

Rick Koehler

When you hike the path from the trailhead to the Clay Cliffs overlook of Lake Michigan, you will enter a field that when you stop to turn around, you will have this incredible view of Lake Leelanau. It captured my imagination and I returned the next day with my backpack of painting materials. The last 200 yards with my 45 pound backpack tested my endurance after a 3/4 mile hike, but the final product made it all worthwhile.

Story Telling

Rick Koehler

There is a story behind every one of my paintings.  What inspired it.  Where it was painted.  What kind of a day was it.  Did the kids on the beach get sand in my paint.  How did I remove the mosquitos that flew into the wet paint before I got it into the car.  Can you find the water scene that I did without using any blue paint?  It was an overcast day and the water and the sky were the same color but neither was blue on that particular day.  If you see a painting and would like to hear the story that goes along with it, just let me know.
