Natural Art

Natural ArtThis is an area of Narragansett... of Rhode Island... that I am terribly surprised has not been the subject of paintings with its variations of textures and light. It forms its own natural art. At the Bass Rock shoreline access in Narragansett, Rhode Island.

What inspires us? It's a question that I had to work through for our sister site, Made From RI. But it was a good personal and professional exercise.

So, to answer the question as pertains here, what inspires these photos? One answer: Rhode Island. While I tend to cling to the Rhode Island shore, I do venture into other spaces. But it is Rhode Island that inspires me.

And why not my home state of Rhode Island? One answer is that I have traveled the globe and set foot on all but two continents. I have seen the best the world has to offer, and I am still awestruck by the beauty of my home state.

Another thought is the countless talents inspired by Rhode Island. These talents are both contemporary and historical. So many movies and televisions shows have been and are being filmed here. So many artists took inspiration here. My own grandfather made a career as an artist in Rhode Island.

In summary, the answer to the question of what inspires us is simple and complex. The simple answer is Rhode Island. The answer is also complex because like the shore of Rhode Island, the subject is ever changing. In a sense, like the rising and setting of the sun, it makes it all the more inspirational and fascinating.
