It is amazing how art can continuously take us to new places by having us revisit in our minds the places we have been to before. Art can stir up the senses and help us to emotionally recall the experiences we have had. This then opens the imagination and allows us to explore the new worlds the artists have created with their own perspectives and imaginations. It is a silent communication that educates us and invites us to explore.

For example, perhaps you are viewing a print of the landscape artwork titled Clearing Skies by Knaub. The painting features a path leading up to white house. In the foreground of the landscape are large trees that somewhat hide the architecture. The deep greens in the overgrown grass appear soft and cool. The far away sky is full of movement as the red clouds are parting and the sunlight emerges, bringing with it promises of blue skies. The reflection of sunlight suddenly appears on the ground, lighting it in gold tones and revealing little puddles of water. After the full view is taken in, you can smell the wet grass and the after-rain scent you have smelled many times before.

We are reminded of the power of nature when we look at landscape paintings and photographs. When trees are bending in a painting, perhaps you feel the wind on your face. When dark clouds are rolling over golden wheat fields, perhaps you are enthralled by the light source coming from the ground instead of the sky. The shade beneath the weeping foliage of a large tree may calm you and make you feel relaxed and cool. All of these possible emotions and feelings that can be stirred by landscape art are partly what makes it so well loved.
