I recently learned that the rural two lane country road my neighborhood feeds into has been proposed for widening to 4 or 6 lanes with construction beginning in 2023. That's just 5 years away!
Yes, traffic has become significantly worse during the 24 years I've lived "in the country" so I understand the need. At the same time, the thought of losing more farmland and wildlife habitat to pavement and suburbia makes me sad.
To help people cope with this future loss, I've begun a series of paintings to document the rural beauty along this road with the goal of having a solo exhibition to showcase this work.
