Original sand dune painting - 'Speechless Every Time' 30h x 40w"

Some places lose their magic when we return to them as adults.
I once had a favorite sledding hill in Redford Township, Michigan. As a kid, it felt massive—King Kong huge.
 
We’d wait our turn at the top, aiming for the jump that made the ride 'double-dare' scary.
 
Years later, I went back expecting that same thrill... but the towering hill had become a small bump, and the jump? Barely a blip.
 
But Lake Michigan? Lake Michigan never loses its wonder.
 
Every time I arrive at Tunnel Park in Holland, Michigan, it’s the same ritual.
 
The lake is hidden at first. I walk the path, soft sand underfoot, birch trees rustling on one side, tall pines on the other. Then comes the curve in the trail—and suddenly, there it is.
That moment always takes my breath away. The endless water, the sun dipping low, a sailboat drifting on the horizon like a whisper of peace.
 
Speechless Every Time captures that exact pause—when awe rushes in and everything else falls away.
 
Hang this painting in your home and let it bring you back to that feeling: the stillness, the quiet joy, the vastness of a moment that asks for nothing—just your presence.
 
Why this piece will speak to you:
✔ A visual retreat to calm your mind and soften your space
✔ Brings the beauty of Michigan’s shoreline indoors
✔ A reminder that wonder doesn’t age—it deepens
Let this artwork be your daily exhale. Your private path to peace.
Because some places leave you speechless. Every time.
