Croning My Way Through Life
There is nothing more breathtaking than precious stones. Not only things made from them but shades of them in nature and in our own houses.
Let’s take a stroll through past galleries that highlight the color and the stone itself!
The face is the perfect canvas for artists — and, I imagine, the hardest to get right. Every muscle can perform dozens of expressions with just one movement. A world of emotions in one place.
It has been a while since I shared Faces, Part One with you — let’s see what Faces galleries bring us this morning!

It has been too long since we took a trip back through the Galleries and peeked at the beautiful Landscapes found there.
Why not come and take a stroll with me and see for yourself?
I had so much fun last week pulling out Galleries for you to peruse — just in case you haven’t been over there in while.
Unique art is free — you just have to find it. And share it. I love that you marvel at the ones I’ve already come across. Thank you.
Let’s try the word{s) … LANDSCAPES... (that should be interesting!)

Full of staggering beauty, his portfolio captivates the magic of the land and the wilderness.

Rice Paddy Art, called as “Tanbo Art” in Japanese, is a work of art in which gigantic pictures are drawn on the rice field as canvas by mixing different colors of rice plants instead of paint.
Its detailed description and high artistic quality bring a large number of tourists every year.
Rice paddy art began in 1993 when purple and yellow rice plants were used to make a picture of Mt. Iwaki along with letters on rice paddies.
This curious art style, started in a village called Inakadate in Aomori Prefecture drew in so many people, the topic spread all across Japan, Korea and Taiwan.
The main purpose behind the creation was to take advantage of the tradition of manual work in rice cultivation to give people an opportunity to learn more about rice farming and agriculture.
The massive pictures are elaborately designed using perspective drawing methods to make them look their best when seen from the observation platform.
These days there are over 100 locations doing rice paddy art.
