Storm Sky II


This is the second of the paintings I did that stormy summer evening on Belle Isle. I'm not sure which I like better.


For those reading this blog who are not from Michigan or the Detroit area, Belle Isle is a gorgeous island park in the middle of the Detroit River. Owned by the city of Detroit, it has a +100-year-old conservatory with a fabulous plant collection, the Dossins Great Lakes Museum and used to have a riding stable and, I believe, a casino early in the 1900s. The Detroit Grand Prix was run on Belle Isle for several years.
