Dunes Overlooking Sturgeon Bay

Dunes Overlooking Sturgeon Bay captures the quiet, natural beauty of Northern Michigan’s dune landscape near Sturgeon Bay.

Inspired by the dunes along this beautiful stretch of Northern Michigan, the painting focuses on the landscape itself — the rolling dune forms, grasses and natural vegetation that make this area so distinctive. Lake Michigan lies beyond the dunes and across the road, but the painting turns its attention inward to the textures, colors and character of the land.

Painted in Christi Dreese’s contemporary impressionist style, expressive brushstrokes and glimpses of dark underpainting create movement, texture and depth throughout the scene. The loose approach captures the feeling of the landscape rather than rendering every detail literally.

The result is a peaceful Northern Michigan landscape that celebrates the quieter beauty found just beyond the shoreline.
