Who is your favorite artist? (Painting, photo, sculpture…)
You know what’s coming.
At least, if you have hung out with me for very long, you might figure it out. This artist is multi-talented. She practices painting, sculpture, and music, as well as other forms of art. Her followers find inspiration for their photos and poetry in her work. She is known worldwide, but can be found in your neighborhood.
She’s as old as the hills, and as young as a snowflake drifting from the sky.
I’m talking about Mother Earth, of course.
She’s the original.
And the one all other artists borrow from, but she willingly shares. Thanks to digital photography, although I’m an amateur, I have thousands of pictures I’ve taken from all over the US, from many years, stored on various drives. (and copies of copies). Trying to pick just one to share was an impossible task. But here is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen.
I took this out my back garage door when I lived in Wyoming. (several years ago.) It’s all snow. I don’t know what the science is behind the formation, I just think it’s weird and amazing. If I remember correctly, it was created in an April snowstorm.
These are redwoods. (Not huge ones, as redwoods go.) But I wanted something to contrast with the snow picture.
One more. This one to share some of Mother Earth’s glorious colors.
Oh, if anyone asks about the music part. Have you ever listened to the wind whistling through the trees? Or water rushing down a mountainside stream?
There you have it. Mother Earth is my favorite artist.

A nice take on the prompt, it’s too easy to forget natural art.
I have been lucky enough to live and go to marvelous places that feed my admiration for the natural world.
Good answer. I hadn’t thought of that one, but agree of course!
Thanks!
I LOVE this answer. I often say the same thing: Mother Nature is an artist the best of us can only hope to emulate in some small degree. @samanthabwriter from
Balancing Act
She’s an artist, but we have to remember that she has a temper, too. Take thunderstorms – beautiful but deadly.
That’s true, mother nature is the best artist. Is there anything more heavenly than listening to wind whistling through the trees?
Maybe the wind softly rattling the leaves falling from the trees in the fall. Thanks for stopping by!
