~\u201cYou need not leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. You need not even listen, simply wait, just learn to become quiet, and still, and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked. It has no choice; it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.\u201d\u00a0 F. Kafka<\/p>\n

Experts say the human species is \u2018young\u2019 enough to recognize our original home, the wilderness.\u00a0Perhaps this is why even the most non nature buff will feel a sense of peace basking in a sunset, or hearing an ocean\u2019s voice.\"c\"<\/a>\u00a0“C” 6in x6in<\/p>\n

Wilderness isn\u2019t just a balm to our soul, it improves our memory, and intelligence. Exercising outside likely doubles the benefits. We are 50% more creative after spending time outdoors.\u00a0Our heartbeats slow, and blood pressure drops when in nature. Even viewing\u00a0images of nature can inspire this reaction.\"l\"<\/a>\u00a0“L” 6in x 6in<\/p>\n

It may be why millions are spent on \u2018nature sound\u2019 playlists, and wilderness photos coupled with motivating quotes are displayed on walls around the world.\u00a0We humans have a deep emotional, even spiritual connection to nature.\"o\"<\/a>\u00a0“O” 6in x6in<\/p>\n

\u00a0Painting is finding that essence, and breath of life.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The art I create isn\u2019t about self-expression.\u00a0It\u2019s absorbing energy in nature, offering it back to you.\u00a0Sharing a primitive kinship in natures wonder without limits.<\/strong>\"u\"<\/a>\u00a0“U” 6in x6in<\/p>\n

Why don\u2019t I include people in landscape paintings?<\/p>\n

I do.<\/p>\n

I put you there.<\/p>\n

Nature art is an open invitation to all of humanity, without agenda.\"d\"<\/a>\u00a0“D” 6in x6in<\/p>\n

Have you witnessed visitors in an art museum of diverse cultures and demographics respond similarly to art?\u00a0It\u2019s an amazing thing, this connection.\"s\"<\/a>\u00a0“S” 6in x6in<\/p>\n

The new series celebrates humanity, art & nature connection.\u00a0Each 6×6 canvas is available for collection individually, or by 2, 3 or 4, but not as a set entirely.<\/p>\n

Know that someone, somewhere in the world, will have a selection of this scene as collective.\u00a0The series reaffirms, in some small, but possibly powerful way, we are all part of a whole.~<\/p>\n

No man is an island \/ Entire of itself \/ Every man is a piece of the continent \/ A part of the main.<\/strong> John Donne.~<\/p>\n
