Michigan Giclees - The Classic Collection
“The human need to relate with the natural world finds many outlets. For painters, the urge to capture nature’s intrigue is most compelling. With paint and canvas, confined to two dimensions, we set forth to capture that elusive beauty lavished upon us by nature. In Leelanau, I find a dazzling abundance of compositions from which to draw painting inspiration and a public of art conscious people drawn here by a mutual appreciation of the beauty of this land.” Gene Rantz, 2005

It was challenging painting the wonderful high sand dunes over-looking Lake Michigan. I spent several days climbing in the dunes to feel the true essence of these vast mountains of golden sand and the wind worn vegetation struggling for survival on their slopes. The image shares the wonderment of the beaches, dunes and flora of our Great Lakes shoreline. Gene Rantz
