Nature art. Monarch butterflies are common insects that live throughout Minnesota during the summer. Monarchs first develop as an egg, continue to grow as a caterpillar and then emerge as a butterfly. MnDNR says, “To help the population, homeowners should plant flowering plants rather than grass or shrubs.” Photo By Casey Willard, Mountain Iron, MN.
If you recognize my name, you know I usually write about veterans or library issues. But when I saw the art theme, I was looking forward to learning about what regional artists would tell us about their art.
I am not the least bit artistic, at least in my analytic mind! Just ask Charlotte Hanegmon at the Iron Range Makerspace. She has been gently nudging me for years to take her classes! But the idea of starting from a blank piece of paper or cloth and adding color, not words, absolutely terrifies me!
I marvel at the chainsaw…
