"Pleasant Lodge" is a vibrant multi-media collage blending gouache, illustration, and photography to celebrate the theme of “glamping,” or luxury camping. Centered around a painted tree, the composition evokes experiences from the Northwoods of Wisconsin, featuring a fishing lodge, a woody car, a chocolate-dipped Dairy Queen cone, a deer in the road, A&W root beer, Miller High Life, fishing, picnics on the sand, and even a crystal chandelier. The playful layering of imagery captures the charm, nostalgia, and whimsical spirit of outdoor leisure in a bold, colorful, and immersive scene.
