About This Image

There’s no question that when I see red dirt roads like the one in this Georgia landscape print, I think of home. And in the case of this artwork, this is in fact a beautiful sunset from my own home county in rural Georgia. I was raised in the tiny town of Montezuma which believe it or not has paved streets. Yet, those lonesome dirt roads through farm fields were never far away while I was growing up. They are fixtures of my childhood memories. And I thought of those red dirt roads often while I was living in Atlanta. There are things about city life I love, but there are equally things I love about living in with the countryside at my doorstep.

And I think somehow those old red dirt roads get under your skin at the end of the day. I spent many weekends in Atlanta driving away from the city for some traffic free country drives. There’s just something about a sunset that’s only obstructed by the trees in the landscape!

This sunset is in Mennonite country in Macon County, Georgia. A community of Beachy Amish Mennonites was founded here in the 1950s quite a number of years before my own family moved to the area. And a lot of the red dirt roads I know run through their farms. And it’s one of my favorite parts of the county to see the day end. This artwork is based on photos of one of those beautiful sunsets. The blues and pinks of the sky are such a wonderful contrast to the red clay of the dirt road and the clouds of dust over the farmer’s fields. Such an incredible sense of the beauty of the land and the peace of a slower pace of life.

Does this Red dirt road print remind you of your own life in the American South? Or perhaps the colors and the beautiful landscape speak to you? I hope you might take a few minutes to slow down and share with me what speaks to you most in this Georgia landscape?

How Can I Help?

At the end of the day, it’s important to me that you can put a face with the art you’re considering purchasing through my site. Aside from the print vendor who ultimately prints and ships your order, this is a one man show. The person who made the art is the same one who is typing this message and the one who will answer your questions if you drop me a note.

You are not a number and I care that you are happy with whatever art you might buy here. I’m here if you’d like to ask questions before or after purchasing. And I’m also happy to work with you where possible to customize the work you’re buying. Maybe you’d like a tweak to the shape of a print to fit in with your existing wall art. Or you’d like to add a little nod to someone special in it? Just ask! I also keep a running list of subjects I don’t currently have but people are seeking. So if you enjoy the style of my work but didn’t find quite what you were looking for, please do let me know.

I’ve been an artist for 15 years now and most of that time it’s been my full-time passion. And it matters to both the endorphins in my brain and the food I put on the table for me (and my cats) that you find the experience of purchasing the products offered here to be a pleasure.
