Created on one of the longest days of the year in the north country, where the Mississippi begins. My work time was blessed with the company of otters, beavers and too many birds to count. The sun barely seemed to set, like any kid in summer, it didn’t want to go to call it day either.

There’s nothing like a summer day on Park Point. The lake was so peaceful that day, with the waves lazily lapping at the beach, but things were brewing far beyond the lighthouse.

The white pine skyline above the simmering hues of early autumn raised my gaze from the rapids on St Louis River as it flows through Jay Cooke State Park, before making its way to Lake Superior.

The St Louis River was running high last fall, as it thundered through the rapids. In this stretch, the rock formations are ancient layers of slate, which seemed to break, chip, and flake as much as they smooth down over time. These rough edges made the place feel raw and dangerous. After hiking all over, I came back to this view because of the ‘perma-mist.’ This ghost told the story of violence. As the river pounds over the rock, the water droplets are going so hard some break down over and over until they become vapor - left to stir above the rapids. The apparition danced amid the downdrafts and occasional breeze - connecting all of it.

This painting began nearly a decade ago, on a painting trip with my friend and fellow artist, Neil Sherman. Just south of the Canadian border, an overlook offers a grand vista of the Susie Islands on Lake Superior. The Susie Islands (The Susies) are an archipelago of 13 islands named for the largest island, Susie. The three largest islands are named for members of the Falconer family who mined for copper on the islands in the early 1900s. In the distance, you see Isle Royale resting on the horizon.

This was created from a plein air study. I had walked out to the end of Park Point. As I painted the waves, felt the breeze, and listened, I couldn’t help but think of how something so important looked so small at the edge of Lake Superior.
