About the Artwork

A white lighthouse stands on a rocky point at the edge of the bay, its dark lantern room catching the afternoon sun. Turquoise water spreads across the middle of the scene, where a lone paddler glides past in a small boat. A sandy path curves through the dunes in the foreground, framed by golden grasses and a slender birch tree. Wooded shoreline fades into soft blue in the distance, a view that feels like a quiet day on the Traverse City waterfront.

Julian Mercer paints in an impressionist style, building the whole picture from short, separate dabs of color. The sky is pale blue scattered with peach and cream strokes, the water shimmers in aqua and white, and the sand is broken into flecks of lavender, ochre, and orange. Up close it reads like a mosaic. Step back and the light settles into place.

For Michigan natives and anyone who has walked the beaches along Grand Traverse Bay, this one feels familiar. It makes a thoughtful gift for people who summer up north, though the bright, relaxed mood works even if you've never been.

The vertical format suits narrower walls, hallways, and lake house entries. This is canvas wall art that brings sunshine indoors during the long northern Michigan winters.

Some old guy on a bench in the Public Garden told me I paint the pigeons better than the swan boats. Rude, but fair. These days I give both equal time, along with the brownstones on Beacon Hill, in quick bright strokes before the light moves. The pigeons still get the best colors.

A dream in blue

it's like stepping into a dream, a whisper of waves, the echo of seagulls, a tendril of wind dancing across water.

A poetic portal

This canvas is a whispering window, framing an aquamarine dream, stitched with the thread of nostalgia.

Not bad, traverse city

Almost as good as seeing it in person, minus the seagull droppings.
