NATURE ART
A new world of creativity  



NATURE ART,
The term Nature here doesn’t mean the natural world, as in Mother Nature. It means the real nature, the soul of things.

According to Zen philosophy, anything that has a form has its True Nature, its invisible self, real character to be discovered. One of the main objectives of Zen practice is to reveal the real nature of things, beyond what we usually know through our senses.

Nature Art is a new field in the province of visual art. Nature Art is a way for the artist to express feelings and thoughts by using a "real nature" contained behind an image, mostly a photographic picture or a calligraphic letter. Although photography is widely used in Nature Art, Nature Art is not part of the Art of Photography. The photographic image and the colors presented in a Nature Art work are simply materials carrying a message, an idea or a feeling, a "real nature" the artist wants to express for her or his own purposes. It doesn't matter how different a viewer, as an outsider, could feel when seeing the same Nature Art work.

Founded by Charles Steven Hogan, Nature Art open the door for millions of people, who cannot use a pencil, a color palette or a brush in making a traditional art work, to become true artists themselves and share their works to others in a large way of freedom. Through Nature Art, Art is no longer for the sake of Art; it is for the sake of the artist.

LE SON DE L'ÉTÉ
THE SOUND OF SUMMER


THE SOUND OF SUMMER
Each place has its own sounds of season. In the park near my house the sound that announces the summer is the song of a beautiful bird: the redbird (the Northern cardinal).
I like its song so much that I imitate it so well. Last Sunday morning when I went to the park, from some distance, I heard the song of the redbird and I imitated it, repeatedly. At my great surprise the bird responded to my call! After a few exchanges the redbird flew to a nearby tree, perched on a branch and looked at me. I could admire him closely for a few minutes while we continued our “conversations” …
From now, when I go to the park, if it is quiet, no one walking around, I take my deep breathing and start calling my redbird friend. He always answers me. Happiness!
I wish you a great SUMMER with many joyful discoveries.

===========================   
 LE SON DE L'ÉTÉ
Chaque endroit a ses propres sons de saison. Dans le parc près de ma maison le son qui annonce l'été est le chant d'un bel oiseau, un oiseau rouge: le cardinal du Nord.
J'aime tellement sa chanson que je l'imite fort bien. Dimanche dernier, quand je suis allé au parc, j'ai entendu, de loin, la chanson de l'oiseau-rouge et je l'ai imité à plusieurs reprises. À ma grande surprise, l'oiseau a répondu à mon appel! Après quelques échanges, il s'envola vers un arbre voisin puis perché sur une branche et il me  regarda. Ainsi je pouvais l'admirer  tout en continuant nos "conversations" ...
Depuis
, lorsque je vais au parc, si l’endroit  calme, pas de gens qui  se promènent, je prends une profonde respiration et commence à appeler mon ami,   l'oiseau-rouge, et il me répond toujours. Quel Bonheur!

Je vous souhaite un bel été avec de nombreuses découvertes.
Phan Hoang, juin 2018
