Where the Wild Roses Grow by DevineDayDreams
They call me The Wild Rose / But my name was Eliza Day / Why they call me it I do not know / For my name was Eliza Day From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one / She stared in my eyes and smiled / For her lips were the colour of the roses / That grew down the river, all bloody and wild When he knocked on my door and entered the room / My trembling subsided in his sure embrace / He would be my first man, and with a careful hand / He wiped out the tears that ran down my face They call me The Wild Rose / But my name was Eliza Day / Why they call me it I do not know / For my name was Eliza Day On the second day I brought her a flower / She was more beautiful than any woman I’d seen / I said, “Do you know where the wild roses grow, / so sweet and scarlet and free?” On the second day he came with a single red rose / He said: “Give me your loss and your sorrow” / I nodded my head, as I lay on the bed / “If I show you the roses will you follow?” They call me The Wild Rose / But my name was Eliza Day / Why they call me that I do not know / For my name was Eliza Day On the third day he took me to the river / He showed me the roses and we kissed / And the last thing I heard was a muttered word / As he knelt above me with a rock in his fist On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow / And she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief / And I kissed her goodbye, said, “All beauty must die” / And I lent down and planted a rose between her teeth They call me The Wild Rose / But my name was Eliza Day / Why they call me it I do not know / For my name was Eliza Day / For my name was Eliza Day / For my name was Eliza Day / / /

"Going Home" by Anna Shaw
“And when the day arrives I’ll become the sky and I’ll become the sea and the sea will come to kiss me for I am going home. Nothing can stop me now.”’ Trent Reznor This image is a tribute to an old friend, Hilton Matthews, who so sadly died earlier this year. It is a gift for his wife, and my closest friend, Sarah. Hilton was a well known sailor on the Isle of Wight, and was one of the true characters of the Fishbourne Sailing Club. He weathered many storms during his life. He would have loved this one! The boat in the image is one which Hilton helped rescue when it ran aground on the rocks. The sky and the seas have been painted, using a variety of brushes in Photoshop CS4. 09/11/09 – 767 Viewings Featured in: / The Woman Photographer / Digital Art Manipulation / Top Ten in the Water Challenge / Digital Brushstrokes / Dream and Fantasy Art / The Scavenger Hunt / Artists of Redbubble / Digital Art Compilations / Imaginative Realism

Wattle Time - Goulburn River by Lynda Robinson
Pastel on Colourfix paper (burgundy) – 50cm x 35cm This is a ‘labour of love’ (although it wasn’t really a labour)! I finished it last weekend. It is for my mum and she is giving it to someone as a wedding present, so I have to work out a way to get it to the U.K. without it falling to pieces on the way!!!! Any bright ideas??? My latest cunning plan is to frame it under perspex. The wattle trees are blooming at the moment, although the blossom is almost passed it’s best. A sign that spring is on the way. This is one of my favourite stretches of the Goulburn River, near Seymour. Featured in Imaginative Realism – Nov 2009

Silence of Devotion by Sharon Mau

Someone broods there nameless and bodiless, Conscious and lonely, deathless and infinite, / And, sole in a still eternal rapture, / Gathers all things to his heart for ever.” ~ Poetry by Sri Aurobindo Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / This is a stitched composite of two images taken at the same location on the same evening. / /

Winter-Afterward by Janis Zroback
/ “Afterward is part of the Winter Collection... Watercolour on Arches Rough Paper… Views 162 Cascading snowflakes settle in the pines, / Sculpting each tree to fit your ghostly form / The surge of swirling wind defines / As if your human shape were what the storm / Sought to contrive, intending to express / Its consciousness of my white consciousness, / Sculpting each tree to fit your ghostly form. / Cascading snowflakes settle in the pines, / Swaying in unison beneath the snow, / Calling me to you with wild gesturings / Homeward into the howling woods, although / Thinking of your abiding spirit brings / Only a whiter absence to my mind, / Only whirled snow heaped up by whirled snow, / Only a fox whose den I cannot find. ..Robert Pack /

Scales and Arpeggios by Sharon K. Shubert
One of several musical themed art works I’ve been working on. What would our world be without music? I grew up in a musical family and married a musician, so thought it was time to show my musical influences in my art works. This is a digital art compilation that filled me with such emotion as I worked on it. There are only a few of my many art works I can say that about. :) VIEW IT LARGE. Here’s how it looks printed on CANVAS: / More of my music themed art works: ((Most any of my musical themed works have compatible color palettes and can be hung in pairs or groups.)) “Song of The South” / “Glorious” / “My Guitar Guy” / “Saturday Night Jam” / “The Fiddlers” / “Encore! Encore!” /

About This Group
“I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”
– Albert Einstein
This group is for artists who use imaginative techniques to depict realistic scenes and as well as surreal imagery(rules implied).
Members Expected: Artists who create works in the following genres:
1) Realism
2) Impressionism
3) Surrealism
4) Fantastical Imagery
Imaginative Realism is a genre which grows from a technique in which artists employ their imagination to create realistic images that are believable to the eye. Supernatural and surreal effects may be accepted in the images but 100% abstract or unbelievable concepts that are beyond normal comprehension are unsuitable additions to the group gallery and are likely to be moderated.
Important: The group follows a strict moderation code. Please read and understand the rules thoroughly before making the decision to join.
Imaginative Realism is just one of 1710 creative groups powered by RedBubble.
RedBubble is the place to share your creative genius with the world through art, photography, design and writing.
