This Art Walk sculpture depicts the common silhouettes of two primary White Lake area themes - sailboats and trees. Viewed from one side the colors and stripes represent sails. From the other side, the shape, branches and color evoke trees. The colors are based on the changing seasons with red symbolizing sailing regattas and blue for water and winter’s chill.
