I love beautiful photos of Ms. Tennessee.

Oh, The Places You'll Go!

I just got the notice that the Chromatics Art Gallery in Nashville has chosen the photo below to be in their upcoming show titled “Adventure.” I captured this photo at the first Spring Hill Spooktacular Hot Air Balloon Festival. The picture highlights the “Ms. Tennessee” balloon of Nashville Balloon Rides. The Spooktacular was the first balloon festival I had ever attended. It was an awesome show. You can read about my experience and see more pictures form that day on my blog post about the event here: https://www.shutteringthrulife.com/hot-air-halloween/ Opening night will be August 8th. All artwork will be on display through November 27th. My photo will be displayed on a 16”x16” Gallery Block and it’s for sale. As time permits, I’m working on building my Gallery Store on by website. You can buy prints and digital downloads. This particular picture is currently available on my site.
