Landscape Spotlight: A Piece of Everything


Fall 2008 artist Craig Paul Nowak often creates art pieces where he explores the relationship between the artist's interior and exterior self. His work frequently includes self-references, self-examination, and his work is both conceptual and introspective in nature
(see http://www.craigpaulnowak.blogspot.com/ for examples). Thus, this displayed series of landscape paintings created during Fall 2008 was a slight departure from his normal theme and represents the artist looking outward. He skillfully shows many snippets of sites visited during the program. Check out his website for frequent additions to his impressive portfolio.
I challenge past Mano y Mente participants to name each of the site locations exhibited in this composition!
