Mount Baldy Indiana Dunes Wall Art | Vintage Lake Michigan Print

Looking down from the grassy back slope of Mount Baldy, the Indiana Dunes shoreline swings away in a long pale curve and Lake Michigan opens out in hard cobalt blue. Marram grass covers the foreground in gold and olive tufts, a few small trees hold the slope, and white cloud stacks up along the far horizon on a clear summer afternoon.

Why you'll love it

• Painted in the golden-age national park poster style: the lake built from layered blue bands and white wave strokes, and every clump of dune grass drawn blade by blade.
• It names the exact place. Mount Baldy, Lake Michigan Shore, Indiana, with the park date and the coordinates 41.65 N, 87.05 W set along the bottom edge.
• Mount Baldy is a living dune. Wind pushes its sand steadily inland, so the dune slowly moves away from the lake and buries the trees along its back edge.
• Warm sand gold, olive green and deep lake blue make a calm palette for a bedroom, a living room or a bright hallway.
• Drawn in the same style as the rest of the 63-park series, so several hang together as one set.

Styling it at home

The gold and blue split here is almost even, which makes this an easy print to build a room around. It suits sandy linen, pale oak and washed cotton, and it reads as a lake print rather than an ocean one, so it works well in Midwest homes and summer houses. White or natural wood framing keeps it light for a bedroom; black framing gives it more weight over a sofa. It also pairs neatly with the other shoreline prints in the series as a horizontal run of three.

Shipping and care

Paper prints ship rolled in a rigid tube. Framed canvas arrives ready to hang with hardware fitted. Keep the print out of direct sunlight and wipe the surface with a dry, soft cloth.

FAQ

How is this different from the other Indiana Dunes prints in the shop? This is the Mount Baldy view, with the location and coordinates lettered at the foot of the poster. The other Indiana Dunes designs show different views in mid-century, oil painting and watercolour styles.

Is a frame included with the paper print? No. Paper prints ship unframed; the framed options are the framed canvas materials.
