 Fargo Photographer Scott Seiler Opens “That Was My Solace” Show
Fargo, ND—Fine art landscape photographer Scott Seiler opens his show “That Was My Solace” on September 1 at Gallery 4 in Fargo. His photo exhibit focuses on his artwork through a process that he calls a macro patchwork of landscapes. The intricacy and assortment of what we see daily and through this, how he found compassion and satisfaction from growing up on the family farm. Exhibit: That Was My Solace Dates: September 1 – 30, 2017 Location: Gallery 4 in the Black Building, 112 Broadway, Fargo, ND Artist Reception: Thursday—September 7, 2017, 5p-9p (Free and Open to public) Scott Seiler is a life-long North Dakota resident, who grew up on a ranch near Raleigh. This is where farming and experiencing the prairie created many wonderful memories. Seiler is a fine art landscape photographer, whose perspective has been shaped by his love of rural Midwestern architecture and geography.  It's always a fun adventure travelling the prairies of North Dakota. The Yellow Salsify has a white seedhead and is somewhat similar to the common dandelion, but much larger, up to 4 inches across. It is an invasive weed in many states. The taproot is edible, with a flavor of oysters, giving it the Wild Oysterplant common name.
Available in several sizes and mediums: Wild Prairie Flowers-Nature's Beauty  The sheer amount of passionate artists and talent in this community is enough to fill hundreds of pages, and we can only wish we had enough to showcase them all. We talked to a handful of visual artists and those deeply involved with local organizations and galleries to highlight their unique roles in the growing art scene, and to find out why the arts are so important for our community.
(Continue reading the story from Fargo Monthly.) FARGO MONTHLY STORY WRITTEN BY ERICA RAPP  These photos capture what happens from a mid-winter melt, flooding along the river banks, freezing temperatures return, and the flood waters recede. In February 2017, it froze hard enough and fast enough to create a thick layer of ice that can suspend itself around trees after the flood waters recede to reveal yet another magical creation from Mother Nature. For some in the Red River Valley of North Dakota and Minnesota, this is reminiscent of the winter flood of 1997.
#scottseilerphotography #winter #melt #ice #suspension #mothernature  It's one of those winter days in the Dakotas that give you a reprieve from the coldness. Yes, we have the snow, but the temps are warm enough to melt some of it, creating beautiful reflections of the lights. Add some fog on Broadway in Downtown Fargo and you have a heartfelt scene that is reminiscent of the early films. Prints available at: http://bit.ly/2jPq8QU
 The winters can be harsh. However, there is beauty in every season in the Midwest. I like the way black and white photography creates an intriguing look to some of my winter photographs. The long, winter shadows are cast on the blanket of snow creating an almost imaginary setting. If only the subzero temperatures were imaginary. Prints available in 5x5 and 10x10 http://bit.ly/2j8Wch2.
