There is a proposed 90 million dollar resort going onto this little Island just 5 miles out from my backyard. The lighthouse has long since disappeared but when I painted this circa 1970 it was uninhabited, visited only by local boats for picnics, etc.
I'm an old fart (pardon me, senior citizen) who spends most of the time painting or trout fishing. Trout fishing takes me into some beautiful places, especially here in northeast Wisconsin, and I often think that next time I'll bring my paints and leave the fly rod at home, but then I realize I can paint at home but I can't catch trout there. You can find out more about my painting philosophy, background, etc. @ www.kenmarsden.com.
