The verdict is in and evidence-based design clearly indicates that artwork that features medium distance nature landscapes, actually reduces blood pressure and speeds the healing process. Also, less pain medicine is required to keep patients comfortable. This type of imagery has the added benefit of having a calming effect on patients, employees and visitors.

Here are a few of our top selling Spring images, that fills the prescription:

My passion for photography has always been linked to discovery. Discovering new places, new ways of seeing and exploring paths of creative expression. Recently I have begun deeply exploring a more abstract nature image than I have pursued in the past. Here are a few examples of what I have been up  to.

We are currently printing and coating 52 canvas prints for another project that we are working on. We print them with a mixed lighting profile (so they will look good under various lighting conditions). Then Triple UV coat them for extra protection and to make sure that the color won’t fade.

Above is a photograph of a 7 foot gallery wrapped canvas in the process of printing for one of our clients in Minnesota. We are printing a lot of canvases for our clients but it is always fun to take a break to see an image that I saw just a few months ago through the viewfinder of my camera actually appear in print.

We print on all sorts of substrates including wood, acrylic, glass and metal. More on that in an upcoming post.

We triple coat our canvases to insure they are protected against the color fading effects of UV light and the occasional bump, scrape, or fingerprint (which can be wiped off with a soft cloth).

I was struck by the patterns that the shadows and rock formations created in the morning here. This is one of several abstracts I created that morning.

Lower Falls in the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone National Park.

Abstract reflections along a stream in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Dawn in the Grand Tetons National Park.

Reflections in Oak Creek at Red Rock crossing at Cathedral Rock

So I’m looking at my iPhone at the Travel Channel in the news app. I’m reading the article about 15 Fall Getaways (always looking for more places to shoot), and what do I find?
This image that I took in Sedona a few years ago!! It is also on the Travel Channel’s website.

It was sold through one of my agencies. The agencies don’t tell me of each usage as the sales are made. I just get a statement with a line description of usage and royalties. So it was a fun coincidence to see my image!!
