Leelanau Icons: New Paintings by Michael Lowery

Grand Ledge artist Michael Lowery makes a “Return To Leelanau” with a new body of watercolor paintings June 26 at Center Gallery, 6023 S. Lake Street, Glen Arbor. An artist’s reception is 6-8 p.m.

Lowery’s work is based on Leelanau County icons: weathered barns, laundry flapping on the farmhouse clothesline, a solitary raven at rest on the roof. He paints in a limited palette and conveys through shadow and light a sense of nostalgia and melancholy for another imagined time in the county.

“Return To Leelanau” continues through July 2. For more information please call 231/334-3179.
