Oh how happy I am that you like it FM. I have been practicing painting from nature and I found these and they are so beautiful.

Great links, Joanne, wonderful to have. Of course I'll put them in Helpful Links.

I saw a landsat fairly recently that showed western europe in the sun and from, say, Germany on in the dark with lights on...loved that one. I'll post it if I find it in my stash.

The examples you've shown do seem such abstract extravanzas...

my tubes of paint would be floating all over the place and I would have to keep hanging on to my drawing board. So I believe you are correct CI

Earthporn! What a great concept!

Mother Nature with her drawers down, woo hoo!

From the title of the topic, I thought we were going to be talking about Earthworks. Sculpture with dirt, y'know...

Saw the movie Rivers and Tides t'other day. It's about the work of Andy Goldsworthy. Earth artist in the sense that most of his work is done with objects found in nature/on the land. Most of his work is very very temporary.

Very beautiful film.

I am inclined to agree with Cinderwolf. When I see artists working with earth materials...lining up leaves, etc..I see the artists working with earth materials, and so on. I am more drawn to the earth's small changes or arrangements without the hand of an artist.
