The premise of this work is to serve as an introduction to one another, to our lands, and to our special existence.
It is also intended to foster the collecting of imagery as pieces of heritage worthy of passing on to posterity.
Homes will change, fields will change, towns will change, and these facts give cause to pass on something tangible so that others, future families and various interested parties, may know more fully that we lived and thought of them enough to leave something of worth.
May you find this work is more than a record, though it is at least that.
May you find that it is, in fact, the expression of a deeply resonating chord that wishes for others to awaken to its resonance and join in the kind of life that can only grow from gratitude.

I am a member of the Chestnut Group, which is a local (Middle Tennessee) group of plein air painters that partners with threatened landscapes to raise money to help protect those spaces.
