Welcome to the sunrise side where we’ll be painting the fall scenery along the beautiful AuSable River, which the French named the sand river because it winds though sandy ground and is therefore very clear. There is a lighthouse site at Tawas Point and many exciting river views to appeal to any painter. This will be an incredible fall opportunity to share with fellow painters and a great way to close out the official painting season.
