Road trips recharge my soul and fuel my creativity.  On this road trip, I headed to Sleepy Eye, MN where they have the nicest owners of Sleepy Eye stain glass shop.  The drive takes a few hours to get there, and I enjoy taking the single-lane county highways.  The landscape is dotted with farmhouses, newly planted crops, gently rolling hills, small creeks with forest groves.  I was blessed with Bob Ross kind of clouds, Horses greeting me to say good morning. 

This scene captivated my eyes as the hint of lime green sprouts just breaking the jet-black soil accompanied the Seeds Mother Nature planted earlier in the Spring.

Red Farm Landscaped in Corn

Heading south on Wisconsin’s highway 35 I explored the Driftless area (definition-having no aim or direction: free from glacial drift a section driftless except for loess deposits).  Highway 35 winds along the Mississippi River following its path south.  I made it to Alma and headed back north on county roads like I, KK, and 25 which snaked through the Driftless area hills and valleys.  I explored this region capturing the farm life landscapes from corn crops to cattle grazing in the fields as my soul recharged from the stresses of my work week.  I love to get lost on country roads and just absorb the scenery like a sponge.

Farming is not just for growing crops; it is for the cultivation… of human beings! – Masanobu Fukuoka.  I admire those who choose the greater good and create nourishment for everyone to enjoy.  In conclusion, I was humbled by all the hard work the farmer put into his field and blessed to be able to capture such a picturesque scene which reminded me of a Folk-art painting.

 It is a creative process; we must first plant the seeds and nurture them along the way to ensure their full growth, as they will in turn provide us with nourishment, which is essential not just for survival but for success.

About Danger:

Danger

I found this sign walking along Mississippi River Road in Saint Paul; I found this sign warning me of the appending Danger of the cliff’s edge.  This sign defines Covid-19 and Civil unrest and now attacks Women’s right to choose.  We are entering dangerous times and need to stand up for all Equality.

Artist Statement: Natalie McGuire

Photozaic Artist

I create multi-sensory wall art that engages your curiosity of what lies beyond; what you see is personal to you.  Creating art helps me connect with you, exhibiting my ability to make you feel like you are there with me. They inspire your desire to touch my art, making you try to view it and feel it at the same time.  My surroundings play a big role in my photography story.  When I am out in nature with my camera, it’s through texture, lines, colors, etc., that I get my inspiration.  I primarily use color images to capture the vibrancy of Mother Nature’s glory, but when the mood and setting are just right, I photograph in infrared.  This style of photography brings another worldly look, almost a dreamlike state that has a 3D effect.

Come on out and see what new works of art I have and along with that I’m selling infrared matted prints and offering them in simple elegant black frames, and photo cards.  These items make great gifts for the upcoming holiday season.

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.
