That’s what the top of the website<\/a> said when I searched for images of Jon Foreman’s land art. The suggested psychological benefit of signing up for a daily newsletter or some such seemed as surreal as the idea that anyone might buy into such a claim. But then again, we know that of all the claims people buy into these days, a link between advertisement and happiness probably is among the least outrageous…. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In any case, here is the history: I get several minutes of pleasure on my daily walks in the neighborhood when finding little art projects that are left behind to cheer us all up. They spurred me to look at other artists who put something in the landscape on a greater scale, with snazzier means, often closer to design than art, but so be it. I vaguely remembered having seen something about Foreman and sand-rakings, but then found the site that had me roll my eyes for five seconds rather than experiencing happiness. Eventually there was a successful search result for this video<\/a> showing the artist raking his neighborhood in Wales. Using sand and stones – available to all of us to some degree – maybe we could come up with something a little bit more unconstrained, or witty? My neighbors are certainly on up there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Land painting on a larger scale is something you can currently find in Switzerland. The site surely beckons, although the landscape painting is probably long grown out or washed over when travel becomes available once again, 100 years from now. Think of a canvas 3000 square meters wide to be filled with imagery of hope, employing tromp l’oeil at its best. The 3-D manipulation is remarkable! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
