Morris Reserve, Bellbrook Ohio
Morris Reserve lies under the responsibility of the Bellbrook-Sugarcreek Park District. The park resides in Sugarcreek Township and just outside Bellbrook, Ohio. As shared in a previous post, artifacts discovered in this park, as it made its conversion from a farm to a tallgrass prairie, indicate five Native American people have called this prairie home since the last ice age. Today, it lies a few thousand feet from my home and serves as a quiet place of inspiration.
Prairie Path Art Prints
Prairies, like Morris Reserve, are favored photography subjects. This time of year, prairies are typically filled with colorful wildflowers. When captured at sunrise, the night’s dew clings to the wildflowers making for sparkling and magical scenes. For me, as the park trails meander through the wildflowers, they make for the perfect prairie path art prints. When capturing a scene, I try to compose the image with the trail entering from the bottom corners and then leading the eye into the landscape, giving the art piece a sense of depth.
Waiting Room Artwork
Medical studies proved patients feel better, experience lower blood pressure, require less pain medication, and are discharged faster when surrounded by nature photography. As a result, today’s hospitals are procuring artwork built on the principles of evidence-based design in healthcare art. The large secret entails that what works in a healthcare environment also serves business owners in other industries. If you own a business where clients spend a few minutes in your waiting room, why not place artwork in front of them which allows them to contemplate in a few moments of peace? Be sure to select a representational scene (one the viewer immediately understands) and avoid black-and-white photography or abstract art. Abstract art works in a museum, but given its vague, ambiguous, and confusing construct, the art can leave viewers unsettled….not the feeling business owners want to instill in their clients in the waiting room.
