I've always liked good landscape art, whether paintings or photographs. Perhaps it comes from growing up in South Africa, where nature is very lovely and offers almost infinite variety.
I was struck by this photograph on Gab the other day. It's by photographer Kevin McNeal, taken in the Arches National Park in Utah. Click the image for a larger view.
Intrigued, I found the photographer's Web site. It's full of lovely images taken all over the country. I picked a few examples to illustrate his work. Click each for a slightly larger view.
I'd love to get a couple of those images with a "Paint" or "Art" filter applied, to make them look like a landscape painting.
If you like landscapes too, go spend a while browsing through Mr. McNeal's online archives. I think you'll like his work.

For beautiful landscapes in this style, look at Albert Birestadt, the "Western Mountains school" of artists, or the Hudson River School" a generation earlier.
ReplyDeleteAmazing works. I have framed matted prints of decent quality bought from the New York Graphics Society at their website.
