Art of Nature & Nature of Art

border next to our garage
Sometimes I just want to photograph all these beautiful gifts of nature

or paint them

or embroidery them

The Art Using Nature
If any of you haven't seen Andy Goldsworthy work, then check it out. He is a British artist who collaborates with nature to make site specific transient, or ephemeral creations.
His film "Rivers and Tides" is available at Amazon or Netflix

I used to show that Andy Goldsworthy film to my English 101 class. It's so awesome.
