Framed and matted original watercolor painting of Lake Michigan by Leland artist Julie Sanco. 

"Julie lives in Leland Michigan where she is an artist and returns to her Mexican retreat each spring in San Miguel de Allende studying under German artist Edina Sargent.

Julie writes: Summering in Northern Michigan and Ontario for most of my life, I returned to Leland in the spring of 2000. It is a daily dose of inspirational landscapes. From the myriad fruit orchards, rolling and filling the vistas, the expansive sand dunes and lush, secretive forests to wild flower gardens, plentiful lakes, streams and harbors full of boats. The rich beauty of nature is experienced in strong composition, directional line, value, texture and elusively, time. Living as an artist in Leland county is indeed a dream come true."
