Landscapes are wonderful aesthetic vistas.  Since I have become a "person with a mobile disability," I look at the world in a more immediate way.  I need to check out the ground I roll or walk on to know where to place a quad cane, walker or move a wheelchair.  I need to be aware of slippery surfaces and cracks, bumps and curbs.  Lo and Behold! I have discovered very interesting "groundscapes."  There are endless patterns and textures and infinite inspiration.  I call these "Groundscapes." The first one is 30"x 24" and the second is 30"x 28". The rest are various sizes from 16"x20" to 12"x12". They all explore the groundscapes of our world.  I hope they make you notice things when you are standing, walking, rolling, or sitting and connected to our ground - our earth.
