Description
This scenic photograph of a Western Pennsylvania farmscape features fall foliage, corn fields, and a working cattle barn that sits atop a neighboring hillside. Trees glowing with the changing colors of autumn surround the barn with the cozy feel of the fall season. It looks like a great location for a fall hayride! It’s the perfect nostalgic print for those who love painterly rustic barn scenes or artwork of idyllic pastoral scenes. For a different perspective of the same location, see ‘Country Scene from Hilltop to Hilltop’.
This peaceful country scene is located in the rolling hills of Renfrew, Pennsylvania in Butler County. The farm is located along a winding country road populated with cattle and horse farms. The lush location captures the essence of country living. The region is transitioning from a rural community as the population of surrounding towns grows. Hopefully beautiful scenes such as this one can be preserved in a large enough context to maintain the integrity of the existing countryside.
The composition is easy to understand and softens the mood of any interior. It is well suited for a collection of nature artwork united by a theme of agriculture, changing seasons, or a color palette of earth tones. Natural, rustic decors with a warm color palette would harmonize well with this artwork.
The image is for sale in both print and digital form. Suggested use is for decor in homes, cabins, lodges, offices, lobbies, healthcare facilities, hotels, and independently owned businesses such as spas, retail locations, bed and breakfasts, coffee shops, and restaurants. Licensing opportunities for the image are available. This may be appropriate for use in such print and digital venues as local and regional publications in Western Pennsylvania, materials promoting travel and tourism, editorials, newspapers, magazines, hiking or nature publications, environmental journals, advertisements, biophilic design publications, and building website content.
Scenes such as this one improve health by connecting the viewer with nature, thus reducing stress. Biophilia is defined as the urge to affiliate with other forms of life. Studies show that humans have a deep biological need to be in a natural habitat. Biophilic design compensates for the deficiency left by increased urbanization by reincorporating natural forms, colors, textures, and spatial qualities into everyday life.
Biophilic design has been proven to increase well-being, draw out positive emotion, reduce stress, boost productivity, and spark creativity. Design work built around the concept of biophilia is in high demand across industries, in home environments, and even entire cities are being restructured. This nature-inspired wall art is appropriate for healthcare, hospitality, commercial, institutional, residential spaces and other interiors where one is looking to promote a therapeutic atmosphere. Some applications include:
Healthcare – waiting areas, lobbies, treatment rooms, patient rooms, cafeterias, hospice
Hospitality – hotel lobbies, restaurants, spas, casinos
Commercial – retail spaces, corporate offices, coffee shops
Institutional – airports, government buildings, schools
Residential – bedroom, living room, home office, den, remodeled basements
Artwork displayed in a healthcare setting should have a calming effect. Rich textures, warm colors, and a “down home” aesthetic make this versatile artwork particularly suited for use in a medical environment where complex emotions and stress are often prevalent. It is also an excellent option for many decor themes whether they are residential projects or commercial projects. There are many beautiful nature-themed design elements available here for your interiors.
