We've been hiking all morning enjoying the foliage, which is at its peak. The colors seem to explode all around us in the fresh crisp air. The dried up leaves crunch under our feet as we continue down the path. We come upon an overlook and a place to rest and snack. A region glows over Buck and Moose Islands all the way to Whiteface Mountain.

This painting would look best in a small space that is dark red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, white, black, grey, beige, or wood.

Michael Kraus was born on the industrial shoreline of Muskegon, Michigan. After earning his Fine Arts Degree from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, he attended Grand Valley State University for his graduate degree. From there, he gained varied experiences from the Chicago Architecture Foundation, Art Institute of Chicago, Hauenstein Center For Presidential Studies, Lollypop Farm Humane Society, and the Children's Memorial Foundation. And every place he worked, he had his sketchbook with him and found ways to be actively creative. In 2014, Kraus became a full-time artist by establishing Mike Kraus Art. Since then, he has sold hundreds of paintings that are displayed in nearly every state and dozens of countries. Currently, Kraus lives in Rochester, New York with his beautiful wife and goofy dog.
