Trails Amongst the Dunes

Trails Amongst the Dunes captures the quiet beauty of the Lake Michigan shoreline, where paths wind through pale sand, dune grasses and the natural textures of the landscape.

Soft shades of blue and gray in the sky contrast with the light-colored sand below, while pieces of driftwood and reeds add texture and movement to the scene. The subdued palette gives the painting a peaceful, almost meditative quality — the feeling of having a quiet stretch of the lakeshore nearly to yourself.

Painted in Christi Dreese's contemporary impressionist style, expressive brushstrokes and glimpses of dark underpainting create movement, texture and depth throughout the landscape.

Trails Amongst the Dunes celebrates the quieter side of Michigan's lakeshore — the winding paths, shifting sand and natural beauty found among the dunes.
