“My work is Loving the World.” Mary Oliver
I believe nature can create visual art that brings pleasure to my soul. I’ll even say it creates art that touches all of the senses; smell, touch, visual, audible and taste. Could it be that nature is the ultimate artist? As Mary Oliver ask do I participate as an artist with nature in loving it, respecting it, protecting it?
When I take Prospect Rd east and pass over the interstate I find myself in farm land and pastures. Beyond that about 20 miles will be the open plains area with grass, yucca plants and cactus. Anyway, just the other side of the interstate there is a farmers field where I usually see sunflowers. However, this year he planted something different. As I drove by a few days ago there were several works out there placing what I thought were potatoes in burlap sacks. I thought it would make for an interesting image so I stopped to take a few shots. After stepping out of the car my nose let me know these were not potatoes but onions. Whew! Needless to say a half dozen images was plenty then moved on. 🙂
