Finding My Identity I Thought I Had Lost by deborah zaragoza

EMPTY NEST SYNDROME FINALLY EXPIRED ! After your kids leave home and find their own adventure, sometimes we are lost after years of loving service to those we care about. What slowly fades away is our own identity…...... How did that happen? Well I think as women, we sacrifice our own desires for those around us. It is not a conscious thought… just an instinctive and natural one. I am now ready to find myself again with all the fears and excitement of life I possessed when I was once a child. I am now a child in wonderment with experience added as a bonus. I love the life I am living now. FEATURED in ABSTRACT DIGITAL ART & WRITING GROUP !!!

celebrate with me by navybrat

wow….yes celebrate with me!! / It indeed has been a joyful year since I joined RedBubble!!! / It all started accidentally when I saw some beautiful sunset / photographs on a different site by Bamagirl… (thanks Bonita!!) From there on, I posted abstract works, simple photo-manipulations, mixed media (computer art plus acrylic and pastel paints) and a handful of photographs….(wasn’t really serious selling art on line at that time…or anything like spending precious hours doin digital art which I thought nobody would even care to take notice of……HA! I was wrong….VERY WRONG!! ) The likes of Helene Ruiz, Gili Orr, Nancy Chambers, Erhan, bamagirl, Tracey Mac and Mel Brackstone had encouraged me to join groups to get noticed… I received a lot of encouraging words from Danilo Lejardi, amorspainter, realpainter, Angel Warda, Chris Willis and Kai Marie Williams to go on with my heART!! Got my big break when two wonderful angels, Linaji and Terilee really noticed my talents as an digital abstract artist and poet that landed me as one of ADAWG’s featured artists. I wont forget friends like Martin Muir, Kreesor, Loreto Bautista, Liesbeth, Sally Omar, Jerry Alcantara, Ravensoul, Loisgreen, Amber Elizabeth, Heather Rivet, Rosa Cobos, Aspectsoftmk, Blamo, Red Addiction, Trena, Jennyfnf, DawnDavies, Valzart, Pat More,Judi Tailor, LisaG, lucindawind, jewelskings,Patricia Anne Mcarthy, CJ Lewis, TKrosevear, David Parkin, Michael Beers, Agness Mcguiness,Shelly Heibert, Irene Burdell, Jo Hoden, Artist4peace, Rosemaree, Isa Rodriguez, Doreen Phillips, GerryMac, Butchart, Susan Bergstrom, Lior Goldenberg, Joak, Christopher Birthwisle-Smith, Robin Monroe….and a hell lot more….for healing words when I was really down…and who really went out of their way sending me b-mails and personal e-mails…. Sorry, if I failed to mention some friends here….you all know who you are…please don’t get hurt, b-mail me and I’ll mention you…THANK YOU!! It also was and still is a great pleasure to be featured along side awesome artists like toastedghost, Randy Monteith, Cliff Vestigaard, Julie Langford, Shanina Conway, Mimi Yoon, frogster and Dale Crum Now, I’ve grown and matured digitally from making simple photo-manipulations to complicated ones as through the inspiration that RB has openly allowed me to….both as a person and an artist! I have had a lot of happy RB buyers like Dave Law, Tiamaria, ZeeZee, Sunshine0,liesbeth, AlexMac, DanaMS, Jansnow, Trena, Tammy Rosevear, David Parkin, Nancy Chambers, Susan Bergstrom, Lisa Hewitt, Romo,Angel Warda, Sylvia Tax and Mekea, who have had their faces or family members “manipulated to smitherins” by me…. Like to share this pleasure with new found friends like Shoiab, Junior Mclean, Taschja Hattigh, and maxoperandi and to ALL the new peepz in my watchlists The awesome support in my following groups…AMAZING GRAVES , Enchanting and Powerful Photo Manipulation , The Love of Eerie and Enchanting Artworks has likewise been stupendous!! Being here, has given me a different perspective in life…..gaining true friends….improving my heART and making this world a better place to live, well at least in my own artistic little way!! Once again THANK YOU RB community of FRIENDS!!!
LOL--the internal mechanix of the cyber-stalker by Marie Monroe

cyber-interactions allow the particularly predatory to present the veneer of personality toward which others’ projections are manipulated and assembled. one trick of the trade is to use the typically useful LOL excessively. this indicates goodheartedness and levity. the heart of a predator is never either, but the prey does not understand how to think as aberrantly as the hunter. as with the ‘tells’ of other predatory intentions such as the use of “I’m going to be honest with you” or unsolicited assurances that “You’re safe with me…”, repetitive attempts to appear flippant and frivolous can mask more malicious intent—a sort of lure until the hook sinks into relaxed tissue. featured in ADAWG

Marilyn Monroe by Rabi Khan

Marilyn Monroe, (1 June 1926 – 5 August 1962), born Norma Jeane Mortenson but baptized Norma Jeane Baker, was an American actress, singer, and model. After spending much of her childhood in foster homes, Monroe began a career as a model, which led to a film contract in 1946. Her early roles were minor, but her performances in The Asphalt Jungle and All About Eve (both 1950) were well received. She was praised for her comedic ability in such films as Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, How to Marry a Millionaire, and The Seven Year Itch, and became one of Hollywood’s most popular and glamorous performers. The typecasting of Monroe’s “dumb blonde” persona limited her career prospects, so she broadened her range. She studied at the Actors Studio and formed Marilyn Monroe Productions. Her dramatic performance in William Inge’s Bus Stop was hailed by critics, and she won a Golden Globe Award for her performance in Some Like it Hot. The final years of Monroe’s life were marked by illness, personal problems, and a reputation for being unreliable and difficult to work with. The circumstances of her death, from an overdose of barbiturates, have been the subject of conjecture. Though officially classified as a “probable suicide,” the possibility of an accidental overdose has not been ruled out, while conspiracy theorists argue that she was murdered. In 1999, Monroe was ranked as the sixth greatest female star of all time by the American Film Institute. / - From Wikipedia.
Roll of the Dice by Robin Monroe

The roll of the dice / in this game called life / a gamble we take / with every move we make / sometimes we win / sometimes we lose / and sometimes / we play just for fun / so here’s to another / roll of the dice / in this game / that we call life… but tell me my friend / before the dice rolls / what is your lucky number??

QUARTER MOON SURROUNDED BY HAZE by SMOKEYDOGSOCKS

ONE NIGHT IN JUNE WHEN I WENT TO LET MY KIDS OUT TO GO TO THE BATHROOM, I NOTICED THIS “QUARTER MOON SURROUNDD BY HAZE”. I DECIDED I COULDN’T LET IT GO WITHOUT TRYING TO GET A DECENT SHOT OF IT. SO, I BROKE OUT MY CANON EOS KISS REBEL 300D CAMERA AND MY 75-300MM AF TELEPHOTO MACRO LENS ALONG WITH MY TRIPOD AND BEGAN TAKING DIFFERENT EXPOSURE IMAGES. I’VE FOUND THAT IF I LET THE CAMERA MAKE IT’S OWN ADJUSTMENTS FOR EXPOSURE, THE MOON COMES OUT JUST PLAIN WHITE AND OVER EXPOSED. SO, I USUALLY TAKE SEVERAL SHOTS AT DIFFERENT APPERATURES OR SHUTTER SPEEDS TO MAKE SURE I GET A GOOD EXPOSURE. IF YOU LOOK REAL CLOSELY, YOU CAN SEE THE BACK EDGE OF THE DARK SIDE. I TRIED TAKING A SHOT THAT WAS A LITTLE MORE DETAILED, BUT THEN I LOST THE HAZE EFFECT. I ALSO TRIED TAKING A SHOT WITH LESS DETAIL AND THE HAZE GOT VERY LARGE AND EVEN DEVELOPED IT’S OWN SET OF HAZE RINGS. IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE TOOK A BROWN CRAYON AND DREW A CIRCLE AROUND THE MOON. BUT, I LIKE THIS IMAGE BETTER SO THIS IS THE ONE THAT IS GOING UP.
A BLANKET IN A STORM by Shoaib .

A blanket in a storm I said “Wrap me in your arms like a blanket in a storm” and I meant it / A storm approaches and there’s nothing that can prevent it / Tend to it – there’s no harder job than parenting / I’ll be here to listen to you venting; take your pieces and mend it / We all face disasters so attend to it and I will listen to you attentive / Help you with the message you need to send; your love my only incentive / Sandbag and board it up to be preventive just don’t waste time being inventive / Don’t get out of shape like a bent lid, or twisted up like resentment / Because these are the storms we all must face when the problems present with / Challenges your levies alone can’t contend with / Sometimes you need help and my arm is extended / And maybe I will face one the day after tomorrow and reach out to you tormented / To help me face my own storms like the one inside me that rages unconsented / The one that seems to be winning uncontested even when I feel cemented / I found in life that every storm must be faced head on and can’t be circumvented / And in your lives if someone faces an event – reach out to them with honorable intention / You never know when you can help someone with a problem their past presented / So I’ll be there and I know you sense it; way before I could even mention it / Like seagull to a tempest, because sometimes even the freest of us get fenced in Because today it storms and tomorrow it rains but I don’t mind being in your hurricane / Just weather our love with the pain because even the strongest of storms fade as quickly as they came —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—- / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—- A collaboration with the incredible Shelly / for use of those blankets from mexico / And picture of the sailboats was taken by me somewhere in the Caribbean

Loveliness Never Occurs to Daisies by robpixaday

Never considering beauty, the flower blooms / and brings grace to the world. / Loveliness never occurs to daisies. / Camellias never chase fashion. We…me…all of us…could learn from our petalled friends / ....could think less about how we look. / We could think more about how we share our faces. / My face and your face bring raw feelings to the world. / What power we have! / More than the flowers. And yet we admire their beauty. / A lesson there, perhaps? The joy in my face can comfort the world. / My flower face, see? It’s full of grace. And do you see that happy flower? I think it might be you. (A thank-you bouquet for linaji who shares her joy with us every day) /
Cimmerian Shadows by linaji

What is it like dripping down the dark landscape? / Soft moonbeams for eyes with total eclipsed reflections / That seem to me like pools of forgiveness. / Obscurity has terms of envelopment and my kind / Of power / Lush is this touch of midnight calling in the wolves and / The creatures that will take you by the juggler / And eat your heart out first, then your guts they say. / I find that exciting as my finger traces the steps / To a cavern of Cimmerian shadows / Everywhere / My hand lights the way / The contrasting lines of our bodies seeped in / Adore / and / Wonder / A basket of baptized dreams with all the richness / That I can summon for just one moment / In your arms / As I take myself deeper inside / The darkness.

Hiamoa iki Kaukini by Sharon Mau

Hiamoa iki Kaukini / Kahakuloa Maui Hawai’i Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved “The fish is a very powerful and positive image in many world traditions. 1. To the Babylonians, Phoenicians, and Assyrians, it was honoured as a symbol of fertility. 2. In Native American tradition, the fish is a symbol for mystical secrets, for it can swim to the deepest regions of the ocean and explore its hidden knowledge. 3. In British lore, it was believed that eating fish before lovemaking could enable a couple to conceive a child. 4. The early Christians used the fish as the symbol for the Christ Consciousness. It was widely believed that this symbol resulted from the Greek acronym for \”Jesus Christ, Son of God.\” But there is also the fact that the coming of Jesus ushered in the Age of Pisces the Fish, which encapsulates the mysticism, love, and happiness to which all world traditions ascribe to the fish. 5. In Scandinavia, fish was considered an aphrodisiac, and was popularly consumed on Friday, the feast day of Freya, Goddess of Love – and in her honour Friday was a day dedicated to lovemaking. There are, therefore, many possibilities if you dream of a fish – all good, even if the fish was a greatly feared one like the Shark [a powerful Hawaiian Aumakua]. If there is a possibility of a pregnancy, dreaming of a fish could mean that a child is on the way, and the pregnancy and birth will be uneventful and result in a healthy baby. If the dreamer is in love but is not yet sure about the beloved’s feelings, dreaming of a fish strongly indicates that the feelings are indeed reciprocated. Dreaming of catching fish, either with a pole or with a net, indicates success and prosperity ahead. Seeing fish swimming in a clear pool indicates that a number of secrets about yourself and the world around you are going to suddenly become clearer.” Information Source from MSN Free Dream Dicitonary Astrocenter Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi

Husks by robpixaday

We shed parts of us, at times…those outer shells, the protective coverings, the defenses we construct. If we’re lucky they slough easily. Sometimes they come off with one of those “This won’t hurt a bit, just pinch” twinges. But they always leaves debris behind, the husks of living. Too bad they’re not edible. I’m up to my kneecaps in life-husks right now after several years of upheaval. So I thought I’d make something useful of them. Fractal rendered in Oxidizer and edited in Photoshop Elements 3.

Steel Love by Gabriel Forgottenangel

About This Group

This group is about Abstract Digital Art COMBINED WITH… Poetry/Essays. You can Collaborate with YOU, a Published Poet/Writer…or with Someone Here At Red Bubble.

We welcome photographs that are digitally enhanced and have an Abstract quality to them. All Work Submitted….MUST HAVE A WRITTEN PIECE WITH IT.
Please review the Guidelines and feel free to ask a question in my Bubble Mail or the Forum.

AND FROM TERILEE.. here is an abridged version of an excellent Journal entry she wrote about the goal of this group.

Here’s the deal…I use Digital Abstract Art as a form of spiritual exploration, meditation, celebration…and all the other ‘ations people have been using art in general for. This medium of artistic expression is relatively new to me, and feels like a vast territory waiting for future exploration, and I am suddenly an explorer.

This Group..is about the connections between the written word and the image….an expression of what that art is…poetic, descriptive, fun, mysterious….what ever it takes to explain the essence of the art you have created…or what ever you have to say about it all!!

Inversely …IF THE WRITING is the focal point and an image is an after thought… submit the writing piece with the image beside it…..these are collaborations of the images and words…either something you talk over with only yourself (I know you do)…or even better reach out and let yourself be inspired by somebody else’s image or poem

I have seen so much unique and quality work from so many artists out there lately… poetic talents matched with digital skillz to create a masterpiece of art…that’s the deal…right there!

If you enjoy this Group, you should check out the other group hosted by Linaji & TeriLee called Art in Math
