Prairie Plants

The World Captured in a Leaf

Birth, life and decay. All the normal process of life both for plants, animals and people. There is something so beautiful in the way life winds down. Color, texture, pattern, shape and vibrant emotion. Color to enliven spaces, imagination to calm troubled spirits, and relief from pressure and strain.

When I was a young boy of about 5, our family moved to a small, white bungalow in the country. My brother and sisters spent many hours wandering along train tracks and in fields where often there would be an injured or orphaned tiny animal my sisters brought home for ‘healing’.

Life in the country. That smell, color and emotional connection has never left me. Bring these prairie plant paintings into your space!
