From Great to Grand is a display of original oil paintings by Colleen Shore, inspired by the Great River Road and Grand Marais.

from Colleen Shore-The title was partially inspired by two trips I’ve taken to the North Shore of Minnesota. As a member of Outdoor Painters of Minnesota I joined fellow artists for a week long adventure at Sugarloaf Cabins in Schroeder, Mn. It allowed me to paint from Grand Portage to Grand Marais. The other inspiration The Great River Road is the area around where I live and paint. In addition I’ve created a collection of still lives focusing on Good Eats from around the area for you to enjoy at Blue Heron Coffeehouse.

Painting is my passion as a visual artist. I enjoy working in oils in my Town of Onalaska home studio and outside plein air, as weather permits. I create art inspired by my surroundings in order to connect and encourage others to embrace the extraordinary. My blog is an insight into what inspires me and the path it takes me on, Join me in my creative journey at cshoreartwork.blogspot.com
