On one side, graves. On the other, heavenly trees.
The pinks in the rose and the quilted feel of the background offer warmth and comfort, along with the inspiring words of Emily Dickinson which reassure those who have lost their mother that she’s still close and caring.
coming soon AFTER-LIFE and ‘DEATH’
At dawn, a cross can be seen, reaching over the tomb or sorrows. Yet it is a new day, and with the dawn comes, light and tranquility.

I had an elderly couple on / my last tour..in their 80s… / So devoted to each other.. / It made me think: / “how beautiful to walk to / the end of the road / together…” Paint Shop Pro Winner of the challenge “Til today is a memory and tomorrow is lost” in the Prize Challenges Group (74 entries) Featured in the Group “All Out Emotion” Top 10 in the challenge “Time”, Challenge Cafe` Group (222 entries) Top 10 in the challenge “Wonder of time”, Prize Challenge Group (145 entries)

Oh my gosh, this is worse than his previous job… farm labourer.
Finally the whole picture in one frame. This one’s for you, billyboy. “The Studio & Spirits Dream” Oil on Canvas. / I spent the last decade uprooted and on the road. I landed in a barn for awhile on a millionaire’s horse ranch, eventually turning the tack room into a studio that was liveable, enabling me to move out of the ranch’s bunkhouse (12 X 12 foot room with sink) and take up barn residence. It was a wonderful place for 4 years with horse pasture – about 200 occupants – out the door. Goats, sheep, mule named Corizon and Rambo the Ram in stalls and paddock on the other side, the Santa Lucia range all misty , mooned, sunned, gusted, and Milky Wayed before me. And it was the first functional studio I’d had in years. I wrote. And I painted. / This dream, this studio I painted there, is crowded with things I loved and hadn’t seen in ages, stored on the other side of America. Over filled with people I’d loved who’d died. With animals alive and not, who still owned my heart. With a chair from my twenties that no longer existed and the dream of my own bed again where such dreams could populate my nights. The cats who survived the move from Brooklyn then to Virginia’s wilderness then across country are on my bed, and some who departed before we got there, here too. My wonderful chocolate Lab – Rodin – is on alert at the bed’s end. A woodstove I’d seen once that would restore life to this heatless barn (I eventually got a kerosene heater). Some of my many thousands of books I carry with me that prop up my life are here, and all the intimate angels swinging through the undone work, the ready easel, the heart’s workplace.

What think ye? Do we have a soul? Does it perish with the body? If not, in what form does it continue afterward?

A flower that caught my eye. I like the way it came out. I gues the picture is a form of afterlife for it.
A new digital painting that shows Anubis preparing a pharaoh for the Afterlife. Various symbols from Egyptian mythology and culture are strategically placed within this colourful piece to reveal secret meanings. The work was created as a tribute to the great contribution this powerful and ancient culture has made to the World. ~ Skye “Anubis is the Greek name for a jackal-headed god associated with mummification and the afterlife in Egyptian mythology. In the ancient Egyptian language, Anubis is known as Inpu, (variously spelled Anupu). The oldest known mention of Anubis is in the Old Kingdom pyramid texts, where he is associated with the burial of the king. At this time, Anubis was the most important god of the Dead but he was replaced during the Middle Kingdom by Osiris.” (Info Source: Wikipedia)
Graveyard in Roundstone Connemara. / Some place to rest n peace. used Canon 400D / 18 / 55 mm lens / photoshop / photomatix
When time has come and death is near / They show their strength and hide their fear / They share a joke, then shed a tear / Last moments spent with those held dear / / As grasp released on life held tight / And darkness falls, as though the night / Then soon replaced by something bright / Freed soul now moves into the light / / As toward the light they do ascend / They understand, they comprehend / It’s just begun, it’s not the end / Forever does their life extend / / This fractal artwork was inspired one night while watching a show on the television called ‘Ghost Whisperer’, where a woman is able to communicate with earthbound souls and help them ‘cross over to the other side’. As is the case in many near death experiences, the folks that die for a few moments and then come back describe going towards a beautiful light. / / I am not really a very religious person, however, I do believe that there is something much greater than us all in the grand scheme of things in the universe. In physics, the law of conservation of energy states that the total amount of energy in an isolated system remains constant. A consequence of this law is that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but only changed in form. Seeing as how humans are basically a large network of electricity and magnetism (energy) housed within our bodies (matter), and given the physics law stated above, then this energy that makes us what we are can not die, but only change form. / / So what many may term as our souls (energy) must move on as another form of energy. So someone that dies for a moment and them makes it back saying that they see this light may not be as far-fetched as a lot of folks think… even from the scientific perspective. / / This fractal artwork was created in Apophysis, and is meant to conceptually portray what that light may look like as we move toward it after our physical demise, that portal where our life energy is converted into another form. The original is 3600 pixels square at 300 pixels per inch and took 51 hours and 22 minutes to render on a 3.2 Ghz PC with 4 GB of RAM. These technical details so you can appreciate how detailed the print is. / /

Skull with well combed hair thanks to his trusty flick combs! More zomboy shirts here: /
When I see you again / Will you take my hands and smile? / I’ll take yours then / Even if they’re pressed tightly to your sides / And we’ll not recall a single thing / That ripped my soul in two For I know you suffered too. There’ll be no tears, nor mention / Of thoughts that drain away my breath / No talk of crushing things I hide away / And steal my vision of this life’s bright light / That lifts most beings to a higher plane For I know you could not see. There will be no memory, nor knowledge / Of a single moment that burned these eyes / Just comfort, warmth, and trust is all I’ll feel / Kindness passing ever more – soul to soul / A gentle kiss, soft eyes that care / A heart, a hug that will hold me close. For I know you could not feel. copyright K.T. / Digital Composite Artwork in CS4 /
(4×9) Mixed Media on Photo Card Background I found this photo of an open doorway(aka portal) which to me,represents the world beyond(or Eternity) I colored it in with photo tinting pens then added a spirit-like woman’s face,which I subtly colored in w/photo tinting pens as well. I glue-sticked word Eternity on printed Velum underneath. Then I added a paper 3D key sticker w/the word Promise attached to it. Lastly,I glued on a few plastic butterflies & flowers. Although,I made this collage over a year ago,it’s dedicated to the memory of a friend of mine who passed away from Cancer over the Summer. She always encouraged me in my artwork & was like a sister to me. Kim,where-ever you are;this one’s for you;-)
I have a dog that is quite elderly and probably will be passing on to the other side. Just like my image of what it would be like for us to pass to the other side, Going Into The Light / I knew that it would be similar for our animal friends. I have heard of the rainbow bridge for dogs and that gave me a lot of comfort, so I thought that I would create an image that would fit that description. I used one of our dogs, a standard poodle named Smitty and one of our other poodles, Ernie, as a puppy, as the dogs on the bridge. I think that all of our pets are met by other pets that we have had in our life. Since Smitty is older than Ernie, I know that he will meet his friend when his time is here. I hope that my version of our animal pets passing to the other side will bring you comfort and peace, if that is your belief also The background image was taken at Natural Bridge, off of highway 62 near Union Creek, Oregon. I created the rainbow in photoshop, the dogs were added as composites. All done using layers and the gradient tool.
