As West Virginia Route 20 follows the New River Gorge it follows the mountain’s profile through a series of graceful curves As it run abeam the Sandstone Falls Overlook these perfect serpentine curves compelled me to pull over For me this scene is reminiscent of state’s anthem “Take Me Home Country Roadsâ€

Nostalgia Feeling

Country road art prints can indeed evoke a sense of nostalgia and tranquility, making them ideal for creating a calming atmosphere in spaces like waiting rooms. The representational nature of these prints, depicting rural landscapes with timeless gravel roads, adds to their appeal and ability to connect with viewers.

Soothing S-curves

Curves can create a sense of balance and harmony in an image. Look for symmetrical curves that mirror each other or balance the composition.  The composition of country road art prints often features gentle s-curves, which can create a pleasing visual flow and lead the viewer’s eye through the artwork. These curves can add a sense of movement and invite the viewer to mentally follow the path of the road, creating a tranquil and immersive experience.

Lost Creek Reserve is part of the Miami County Park District just outside of Troy Ohio and offers visitors access to a working farm and five miles of trails On this spring day this country lane leads the eye to the distant horizon through a field of green grass and mature trees all under blue skies

Timeless Gravel Road

The timeless nature of gravel roads in these prints adds to their nostalgic appeal. Gravel roads have been a common feature of rural landscapes for generations, and they can symbolize simplicity, peacefulness, and a connection to nature. The combination of these elements in country road art prints can create a sense of serenity and a longing for a slower pace of life.

West Virginia Anthem

West Virginia has claimed three songs as their state anthem.  Rather than designate a new singular song, West Virginia legislators elected to add another song that holds equal importance to the previous songs.  In 2014, West Virginia designate a fourth song, “Take Me Home Country Roads.†Performed by John Denver.  History shares that John Denver sang the song in 1980 for the dedication of Mountaineer Field.  Since then, the song is played after every West Virginia University basketball and football game.

Waiting Room Artwork  

In a waiting room setting, where people often seek relaxation or distraction from their surroundings, country road art prints can provide a calming visual focal point. The nostalgic and representational nature of these prints can evoke positive memories and create a comforting atmosphere, helping to reduce stress and anxiety. Under my Gallery for Pathway Artprints (trails, footpaths, roadscapes, etc) I have a dedicated page for Country Road Art Prints.
