"The Hunter III" by John Pahlas
Just when I was beginning to fret that my life was going to be nothing but training, kittens and house repair I received relief. The local area is hosting a Spring Art Tour. Basically it's a driving tour around my local region with stops at various artists' studios. Earlier this year they'd talked to me about photographing the entire tour but those plans seemingly fell through. Last night Mount Horeb Area Artists Association called and asked if I could photograph it after all. Since it begins today (!), and I've already committed to a few events this weekend, we've paired it down to focusing on 8 of the 17 locations. I'll not get those, but I'll try to fit in a couple extras as well. Looks like a fun assignment! Thankfully, I'd actually photographed one of them yesterday by coincidence. I love working with Center Ground Studios, so was already taking images of one of his new pieces. I'll take it as a sign... #driftlessregion #driftless #driftlessarea #wisconsin #wisconsinart #wisconsinlife #discoverwisconsin #fineart #finaeartphotography #contemporaryart #art #modernart #ig_mood #featuredpalette #artlovers #artlover #installationart #steelsculpture #thedriftless #driftlessart #wisconsinphotographer #travelwisconsin #mounthoreb #springarttour #mounthorearts #mthoreb #mthorebarts #mthorebartists #driftlesshistorium #danecounty
I have to admit I'm truly enjoying this creative tour around the region that I live in. I've met some inspiring souls and have seen the act of creation up close. I'm thinking I may try to go see even more of these artists after this tour is over. This year there are 17 locations in all and I've made it to a small handful so far. The MHAAA Spring Art Tour was just what I needed to bolster my spirit. #driftlessregion #driftless #driftlessarea #wisconsin #wisconsinart #wisconsinlife #discoverwisconsin #fineart #finaeartphotography #contemporaryart #art #modernart #ig_mood #featuredpalette #artlovers #artlover #installationart #steelsculpture #thedriftless #driftlessart #wisconsinphotographer #travelwisconsin #mounthoreb #springarttour #mounthorearts #mthoreb #mthorebarts #mthorebartists #driftlesshistorium #danecounty

The Troll Capital Aside from our casual meeting there are a number of fun things to do here in Mt Horeb and also the surrounding area. I always suggest people try to make a "date day" out of coming to meet with me. First you're coming to talk about getting married, but you also end up with a lot of fun things to check out. I'll try to place various photos that will open new tabs with locations on this page.
