“How cunningly nature hides every wrinkle of her inconceivable antiquity under roses and violets and morning dew!” ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
One of my favorite ways to explore nature is on my belly in the dew at dawn!!

“In every landscape should reside jewels of abstract art waiting to be discovered.” – Melissa Brown
I arose before dawn and traveled to one of my favorite places along the river. The interplay of morning sky and reflected foliage was miraculous…..

One of our clients sent us this picture of an installation of one of our images as an ” around the corner” installation in a healthcare facility. It is on frosted Plexi and it is 8 feet high by 16 feet long! We think it is a creative way to approach using art for a corridor space.
“It’s on the strength of observation and reflection that one finds
a way. So we must dig and delve unceasingly.”
~Claude Monet
This year’s fall season winds quietly down along the Little River. I love the quiet time that I spend alone in nature creating images at this time of year. Things slow down and my image making becomes more contemplative.

I discovered this patch of butterfly weed while exploring a cedar glade early one summer morning.

We don’t often get to view our large scale photographic print installations, but we were fortunate enough to get these shots sent to us by a client of ours from one of our installations which is currently underway. I wanted to take this opportunity to share these photographs with you.
This one is 12 feet high by more than 55 feet long!!!
Stay tuned – when the project is complete we should be able to show you what the finished installation looks like!!
There is a growing trend in a large number of the installations that feature our work to choose gallery wrapped canvas prints over frames. They look fantastic in a wide variety of settings. They are lightweight and easy to hang. The image is digitally extended and wrapped around the stretcher bars which gives the photograph more “presence” on the wall. Since the wrap is done by digitally extending the image area there is no cropping into the photograph. Often the cost is less than a similar size print that is matted and framed. Gallery wrapped canvas prints also work in a wide variety of settings, both modern and more traditional.
The colors in our canvas prints are true to the original image. They are archival with a life span of over 100 years. We UV coat all of our canvas prints which adds to the already impressive life span and gives a rich finish to the canvas. The coating is water resistant and they can be dusted with a soft cloth. Don’t use dust sprays on them, however.
Above is a close up example of a corner and edges so that you can see how they look finished out.

Fine art photographs of nature can make powerful statements as single images.
They are often the focal point of interest for an entire room. Bringing together images that work as sets or groupings is also an effective way to extend the ambiance and flow of nature images throughout a design.
When choosing photographs to be used as sets or groupings it is a good idea to select images that have a common theme and color. It is even more striking if they have a common style and feel. This often means working with one photographic artist for the entire set. I have had many instances where all of the images were shot on the same day and even represent different compositions of the same subject. Above and below are a couple of very popular groupings that we have helped our clients with.
If you would be interested in having us create some groupings for you please let us know.
