Sometimes traveling is all about the journey.  Ginnie and I have spent a lot of time in the car going somewhere.  We love to travel together and often look forward to the journey more than the destination.  This painting is from one of those trips and by including the road into the landscape, I am reminded that sometimes it is about the journey.   

This past summer, Ginnie and I were in Michigan and took a trip up the peninsula to Mission Point, north of Traverse City.  There we found this magnificent lighthouse on Lake Michigan.  We arrived early enough that there was nobody else around. The lake was calm and the warm morning sun made the building glow.  By the time the lighthouse opened for tours, we had wandered through the woods, and along the beach - As people started pouring into the parking lot, we jumped in the car and moved on down the road.
