Red Mum

A close study of a red mum reveals layers of texture and tone often missed at a glance. Petals unfold in deep crimson, bordered by hints of dark green leaves that frame the bloom without distracting from its intensity. The rich, saturated color gives the image an almost exotic presence — bold, intimate, and quietly dramatic.

Printed on metal, the depth and luminosity of the flower come alive, emphasizing both its softness and strength. Its striking color and form also translate beautifully to select merchandise pieces.

Hosting season means more coffee, more tea, and more long conversations around the kitchen table.

"Asymmetrico" is available on a mug, which makes it an easy way to bring original art into the everyday. It also makes a thoughtful host gift that people actually use.

Hosting season is basically here. I always wonder what people notice first when they walk into a house, the artwork on the walls, the way the room is arranged, or the smell of dinner or a candle.

What little detail always hits you first and lasts longest?

Artwork is my answer.

Today's feature is "Soft Feathers, Sharp Eyes".

From my collection, this is: "Winter's Reflection — Honorable Mention Winner"

Shop At: https://www.gmartindalephoto.com

"Winter’s Reflection" captures a moment of stillness at the edge of cold water—a bright cardinal pausing mid-winter, mirrored softly in ice-darkened calm. The tension between warmth and cold, motion and stillness, turns an ordinary pause into something quietly luminous.

This piece received an Honorable Mention at the 2026 Nature's Inspirations Art Show at Cool Creek Park Nature Center — selected from nearly 200 entries by 100 artists across photography, fine art, and "other" categories.

This piece is offered as an exhibition edition following the 2026 Nature’s Inspirations Art Show in either 20×20 or 16×16, on mid-gloss metal (as in the show) or fine art paper, reflecting the artist’s intention to preserve the moment in multiple formats.

Discover more moments captured in this year’s exhibition and past award-winning images in the Art Show shop.

The dining room gets more attention in November than it does all year. Long meals deserve something worth looking at.

A practical note for anyone hosting: art above a sideboard or buffet should be about two-thirds the width of the furniture beneath it, with six to ten inches of space between the two.

That proportion makes a room feel settled instead of accidental.

Would "Luminous" earn a spot at your table?

One of the last slow weekends before November speeds everything up is here.

What's on the docket? My wish for you is no errands, no rush, just a fun, cozy, or spooky weekend, as you prefer.

You're looking at "Singing Yellow Warbler" today, which is available in the online gallery.

I want to know what makes you pick something off the shelf and take it home forever. How about with art? Have you identified something that makes art resonate with you, or is it just a spark you can't explain?

Tell me your answer; I'll tell you mine.

"Burrowing Owl" is today's feature.

Evenings are getting longer and quieter, which means more time at the table. "Death Valley" is now available as a puzzle!

It's a fun, slower, more deliberate way to spend time with the artwork and a nice activity for the season.

I received my first printed copy, and it looks fantastic! The calendar brings together 13 of my most popular nature photographs from 2026 in a beautifully printed, spiral-bound format on premium-quality paper.

Each image has its own title and species name, and the photographs can be framed and enjoyed long after the year is over.

The calendar is $40, plus shipping and tax, and is now available on my website!

Thanks to everyone who expressed interest when I shared the cover preview. I'm excited to finally share the finished calendar with you!

Tiny Christmas Tree

On a frigid November morning, frost crystals formed on tiny blades of grass whose bases had been surrounded by a thin layer of ice on the pond in Carmel Central Park, making the grass resemble a diminutive Christmas tree. These miniature caricatures were so petite that I didn't notice they looked like Christmas trees until I was able to process and enlarge the photos in the warmth of my house.

To appreciate the crisp details this image, I recommend having it printed on metal.

This is the featured photo for the thirteenth month in the 13-month calendar.
