The sun is trying to break through the clouds on an early Sunday morning.  Our feet crunch on the loose gravel on the road to back to our house.  Our mouths salivate as we talk excitedly about breakfast.  The French Toast made with homemade bread, the perfect amount of cinnamon, and Kettle Ridge maple syrup.  All of it coming together beautifully with a little honey butter. 

STARTS TODAY! 
The GRATEFUL ART FESTIVAL!!!  
We're going to have a lot of fun at: 


Mike 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 thousands 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.

🍂🍁 HAPPY THANKSGIVING! 🍁🍂

Brightscapes: The Way To Beauty


HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

It's the little ordinary things where we find gratitude.  Did you receive a compliment, a fun item, or other kind gesture recently?  What have you offered someone to help them or cheer them up?  And what difficulties are you fortunate enough to have overcome?  A lot has changed since last Thanksgiving.

I have so much to be thankful for.  My loving and supportive wife remains on my side.  So many happy and healthy family and friends.  A silly mutt to keep me entertained.  And I'm grateful for you.  Your kindness has allowed my dreams to come true.  THANK YOU for being you and have a wonderful holiday season!

Your Friend,

Mike Kraus

An owl hoots in the dim moonlight of the forest.  A slight breeze carries the sweet scent of trees in full bloom through the darkness.  The nocturnal birch guards the woods while it slumbers.  Watching each leaf tumble and every mouse burrow.  It remains still in the face of danger and will always see what is happening.
