My soul was itching to get out and wonder; but instead of looking at the natural landscape, a nudge from the universe to photograph industrial landscapes. I wanted to bring attention to human consumption and waste of our natural resources. What is man trying to do here? Create a mountain of trash for the gods? Or is it paying respect to Mother Nature trying to recycle what was taken from her? What do you see?
Back road summer series continues, this weekend I drove around the Hastings Minnesota area capturing the agricultural landscapes. The landscapes offered up simple calming views of the countryside lifestyle. Crops were flourishing while we are experiencing a moderate drought, at least in the areas I was exploring.

This was truly a great experience for me especially in 2020 when all my “in person” art shows were canceled. I didn’t think I was going to sell much if any artwork this year. So with a big thanks for Phipps Healing art program I was able to sell 6 works of art. Truly blessed to collaborate with a great organization like Phipps!
I had the privilege of having two very different works of art on Display at Noresman Distillery’s fall Art show during the Month of October 2019.
