The Caves of Charish - Notecard
It’s been almost a lifetime since I’ve last visited the Caves of Charish yet I remember them as easily as yesterday. They are quite known in some circles .. travelers of far flung planets of origin we be … but all drawn to the mysteries of those deep corridors in the planet Charish …oh you say you never heard of them … I didn’t expect you too .. it’s been kept secret more out of necessity than any other purpose .. many who visited have never returned … those who have prefer not to speak of them … and you may wonder why I’m telling you at this time in this place … well my friend, I hear you’re on your way to see the Emotans of Nartan … and I’m sure you will hear of the caves from them .. they have heard all the stories and as you know they feel it’s their duty for are they not the Stotytellers! .... I have little time so I will make this quick .. wish I had more but .. well it is what it is … remember this if nothing else .. when you visit the Caves of Charish and I know you will, do not accept the help of the one who guards the stone … oh my I have no more time to explain .. just remember do not accept his help …... I must fly now take care and see me after you come back ….. if you come back …..
This is a 3rd generation collaboration with syd baker ... It all started with my fractal work Green Water Pond which syd took and mutated into three landscapes using Bryce and Vue:
Greenwater 01
Greenwater 02
Greenwater 03
Then syd shared them with me and this is the first of five I’ve derived from them.
The other four can be found here:
1. They Stand and Watch
2. The Owl Tapestry
4. Memories of Charish
5: Deep Earth
Work done in Gimp and PaintShopPro. Best viewed large.

Interesting, well designed abstract art
owlspook replied
(big smile) thank you Thea (big smile) I was playing around with a work of syd’s works that he derived from my original and came up with it … still not entirely happy with it but I still found it intriguing and it inspired my “mini-story” of the Caves of Charish so I kept it to share (big smile) .. am very pleased you like it (big smile)
Isa Rodriguez
heeeeeeeeeeeee. oh my !..but I must follow you . but first I must drink that cup of coffee i see on the table…... for I am small and I need my energy. I hope it makes me big and tall….. so I will not fear…........... and become more small. and drown in my sea of tears.. oh dear. what shall i do ?
dont ask. this reminded me. with your story.. of the fable of Alice and Wonderland. I am totally smitten!
I love this!!
owlspook replied
oooo I am so pleased that you do … I love it when my art and a story come together …. thank you so much Isa! (big smile) ...
ps. you Alice is so cool (smile) ... I don’t exactly see the comparison but that doesn’t mean there isn’t one (grin) ... nobody yet knows what did happen in the Caves of Charish, why the stone keeper can’t be trusted and where are the missing people (grin) .... who knows maybe we’ll all find out at another time (if the muse kicks me hard enough on my feathered behind LOL)
coppertrees
Wow wonderful my friend

syd baker
Missed this one, reminds me of the mines of Moria in Lord of the Rings, I like how the symmetry varies.
owlspook replied
ah yes it reminds me of it also (smile) ... never know everything that is down there too … didn’t have the time nor the interest to explore it all … just getting out alive was the main over riding thought at the time (grin)
