So first up – an important thing about the images in this particular series is that they are NOT self-portraits. They are not even really meant to be ‘portraits’ at all. Not even really photographs, or images, or ‘pictures’ at all. These are FEELINGS. To face the past – truly face it and feel it – can be incredibly hard. And – there can be many – an infinite number of reactions, states or feelings that can result… sometimes a little braver, still knowing the connection to ‘now’ and safety, at other times surprise, maybe, or even total shock and terror… Everyone will experience the infinite experiences of these feelings in an infinite number of ways. I can only hope to try to convey the sense of a few of them. This series is ongoing. The ‘finish’ here is also especially grainy, and that definitely shows up better LARGE :)

This is not my typical image, but I am finishing some school work, and it made me look at some of my images that I didn’t think were perfect or work, and I worked on them. I now love this image, because of Ethan’s emotion!!! I was outside on the deck and he was sad, I love that there are water drops and dirt on the glass, to me it just adds to the feel. Let me know what you think! / Check out in larger view please! Featured in: Pathway to the Soul December, 5, 2009
Oil paint on paper, 3 hours of close up painting next to a mirror. When i look at this picture it brings back all the emotion i felt when painting it. The eye trully is a window into my soul… what can you see?

Met this lovely kitty on one of my morning walks while we were visiting Beaufort, North Carolina. Kitty seemed to be enjoying the attention. He turned this way and that, so I got lots of great shots of him! Canon Rebel XTi – Canon 70-300mm lens FEATURED:PAWS AND CLAWS 12-1-09 / / FEATURED:CATS AND DOGS 12-3-09 / /

at 27 I witnessed my best friend’s slow death in a hospital ICU ward. she was on a ventilator machine, in an induced coma. I can still remember the sound of the machine, the smell of the room, and my overwhelming powerlessness. she was young, I believed she would get through it. I was wrong. It changed my life…
My nephew, Jonathon, after working all day on the golf course in the hot July sun. He was sunburned and thirsty and tired. But he also knows how to ‘put on’ a good face for the camera, ha! / Taken in natural light.
12×18 colored pencil on “Artagain” paper. The original is available. Please contact me for further information. / The North American cougar is, by the designs of some of the other cats of the world, rather bland looking.. but what they lack in “beauty” they make up for with their wonderful faces! They can have blue eyes, yellow, sienna and almost hazel… excellent hunters and very adaptable, the cats survive where others would not. They are very quick which is not saying much because most members of the cat family are very swift. / The most surprising thing I’ve learned is how small they really are. They usually weigh in the vicinity of 120 pounds but can jump over 30 feet.. pretty cool huh.. Complete 2004
This is for my Beautiful Girl Brooke, / Despite going through a very tough,emotional time recently she can still light up the room with her contagious smile. / You are the stars that light up my sky, you are the sun in the day and the moon at night.xoxox Photo shoot with my daughter Brooke / Canon400d / Canon100mm macro lens / Studio Lighting
These are my neices and their dramatic eyes. It was easy to photograph them beautifully.
Miley again, she’s really cute. Enjoy the image / XOX / Sarah
This group is about showing any emotion THROUGH THE EYES
We want everything happy or sad, the joy you feel when you hold your baby for the first time or the pain you feel when you have lost somebody close, or maybe a romantic evening with your partner, basically a pathway into what you or somebody close to you was feeling, and is portrayed THROUGH THE EYES. This can also include animals eyes as they have emotions too!
Please read the group rules, and submit work that adheres to the guidelines.
Only 2 images per day will be accepted.
Any works that dont have Eyes in will be rejected.
Having said all that have fun and show us your amazing art!
