Dutton's View is a place of contemplation. The climb up is fairly simple and easy, but opens possibilities to the horizon. I have to ask "where does this beauty come from?" Does beauty come from the sky, lakes, and trees themselves? Or is it just a sensation in my head? Either way, Dutton's View has made it possible to live a fuller life.

This painting would look best in a space that is red, orange, yellow, dark green, dark blue, purple, black, white, gray, 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.
