Evolution of Fallen Birch

Published

I’m sharing two works of the same photograph; one completed earlier in my art career and the other is my latest creation.  I love to look back and see how I’ve grown as an artist.  Here you see Fallen Birch in formal (matted and glassed) and commando (metal print matless) photozaics. 

This is one of my last images I was able to photograph with my dad and it holds a special place in my heart I think of him and the day we spent on their lake taking in nature’s beauty.

Pine Edged road matte less

Sometimes the path in life is not clearly defined.  The only thing you can do is breathe deeply, put your faith in the universe, and take the first step.  Life’s road will have curves, enjoy them as they will bring you to wonderful places if you surrender.  Road trips allow my mind to wander and absorb what Mother Nature shows me.  I especially love watching the landscape change from mountains to desert; from city to Rolling country farms; brightly colored flowers to drab gray foggy scenes.  All of these are gifts from her, so give thanks.  Get out in nature and recharge your soul!

This year’s photograph Hint of Gold is framed in my Commando Photozaic.

Hint of Gold:

Robert Frost wrote this perfectly:  Nothing Gold Can Stay.  Nature’s first green is gold, her hardest hue to hold.  Her early leaf’s a flower; But only so an hour. Then the leaf subsides to leaf So Eden Sank to grief, so dawn goes down today.  Nothing gold can Stay.  This view recharges my soul, I love sitting on my parent’s shoreline watching the sunsets and June didn’t disappoint. There’s no better way to reflect on a beautiful day than watching the sunset, knowing tomorrow is going to be just as amazing.  I enjoy my time spent with Mom especially after Dad passed away a few years back.  It’s funny how life’s perspectives change after you lose a parent.  I know that someday my time witnessing these beautiful sunsets on my parent’s shoreline will end but they will forever be locked inside my heart.

I’m including just the image and framed version.

Rock Harbor- Providencetown

Published

Today’s stop Rock Harbor and Provincetown, also I need to include late yesterday afternoon too I spent time at these two locations.  I will say this morning in Provincetown gave me the best images and met so many kind people, not just other tourists but kind store owners.  Coming from Minnesota, we don’t experience high and low tides like you all on the coast.  I love how the landscape changes due to the tides.  Today is my last day on the Cape and tomorrow I head inland for the rest of my trip.  I feel blessed that I get to have these great opportunities for travel (with CheeBah) and capture these awesome images.  Thank you to all my followers and I love reading your comments- thank you to non-followers who like my work as I post on Social Media.  If interested in collaborating with me, please DM me or email me at nmcguirestudio@gmail.com.  I’ve already received requests and love to work with other artists.  #Thursdayvibes #newengland #massachusetts #capecod #provincetown #fineartphotography #bnw_photography

Kangamangus Highway #112

Published

Yesterday’s drive along Kangamangus Highway was packed with people and not able to get the images I hoped.  I will say this area the colors were dry and not as vibrant.  I captured better shots last year but still wanted to see what else was around.  I found a few roads not far from Kangamangus Highway that I will explore later today.  As I write this post, I’m blessed to witness fog rolling down the mountain right outside my motel room. This collection of images are both color and infrared (black and white).

About Orange Watercolor:

The sunset silhouettes of the islands have been like no other I’ve seen on my travels, knowing you are in borderland country (Minnesota/Canada) when you visit the trees bouncing off the evening sky.  In my eyes each sunset is unique and unlike the previous day.  Colors from sunsets change just like the seasons.  Late summer sunsets have the deepest orange fading into twilight blue.

UPDATE Forest of Birch photozaics

SMALL FORMAL PHOTOZAIC AND COMMANDO SOLD OVER THE WEEKEND. But don’t worry I reordered the commando print and will be making another one and holding off on the formal photoziacs until I receive a direct request.  Over the weekend it was unanimous, the crowd loved the commando line, and I can’t get these done quickly enough. Love problems like this one… stay tuned for new works.
