The Savage (MN) Arts Council jury has accepted 7 Palms into its 2010 Juried Arts Competition.
7 Palms is the signature piece in my small group of "not quite botanically accurate landscapes" which includes
Up North 2 and
Como Reflections.
At 14"x5",
7 Palms is also one of the first nanoscapes that was bigger than a postcard.
I have been working on
14 Palms off and on for a year...
Up North 2 is 6"x6". While my travels in Northern Minnesota are limited to
Two Harbors, which is just north of Duluth, I imagine a beautiful place. This may be an image from before the last Ice Age.
I do, however, live very close to Lake Como in St. Paul's
Como Park, and I love each and every tree, rock, shrub, bird, turtle, and fish. At 4"x7",
Como Reflections is from the nanoscapes' post-card era
