Wood nymph butterfly in a bubble.
It is inexcusable for scientists to torture animals; let them make their experiments on journalists and politicians. Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906)
2008 Copyright. All Rights Reserved to Mariam Muradian. This Outdoor Series was created during the time that my Feral Child and Feral Woman were emerging. I had a claustrophobic time being inside anywhere…even my own house. I could only BREATHE outside. So I spent many days and nights outside. I moved my studio outside. I painted outside only. This series of paintings, I am convinced, cannot live indoors because it will choke the life out of them and they will die; so this series is prepared with heavy heavy sealants to live outdoors forever. I place each one very carefully in their “chosen” place. Each must be a compliment in the truest sense of the word to nature. You can never out-create nature. The series can be vibrant and subdued at the same time, depending on its environment. So once each has found their interconnected, noncompetitive place in the landscape, I watch. I enjoy watching these outdoor paintings live their life! How they communicate and play and change with the light, the blooms, the seasons! It is wondrous to witness! Their subtle variations and transformations are always perfectly, proportionately in sync with nature’s doings. Truly awesome! My ART has reached a Nirvana of sort in this context. It feels so right in my soul. Now you know why I must LIVE outdoors and garden and paint! I have never before felt such passion, such joy, and such inspiration! I continue to paint for this series. I will continue to take photographs of these art pieces as they change, as different colored blooms come to surround them. You must see! Thank you for looking and reading about this ongoing process of healing in my life. Please do comment, as I would love to hear how this effects the Beholder. Thank you. Outdoor Art Series Garden Wall (description for context): Grass and dirt in the lower right corner. To the right of this art piece is a large Japanese Cherry Tree which now has buds that will bloom into beautiful bright pink flowers soon. Just above the art is a flowering tree with white flowers. Ground level to the right is green grass with assorted wildflowers and black dirt and pink wild roses ground cover and white flox ground cover. To the left of this piece is a tall white birch and two creamy white rhododendron bushes. In front and to the left slightly of this art/nature scene is our black/coppery outdoor dining table and chairs with basil leaf motif, the shepherd’s hook with (on sale steal) crystal chandelier/candelabra, and natural strung rope hammock! My garden is the PERFECT place for dining and entertaining. Bocce too! Do come see us! I am just so grateful that I can SEE! That my vision returned from blindness, along with my color vision. That I am alive at all! A miracle and a blessing! See the others in the series /

FOR SALE” The Four Elements “ / I regard this as one of my Masterpieces / price- $ 5,000 au / Acrylic on very thin cotton duck – a stretched canvas / this one is a Huge 177cm x 91cm / It took me many months to paint – and I think it’s just beautiful one of my best! / I have some great photos in my album of how it started / and quite a few photosof the stages in between this painting went through some remarkable transformations to get to the finished stage.. / . I’m proud of this painting because it was such a huge / project to me but..In the end ..the result was very pleasing… I had painted my vision and Ideas about the 4 elements…and it worked..It looked great!! / I will sell this painting because I do need the money , we all want to make a living from what we do best..don’t we..? we have to survive in what way we can and I can’t hang onto all of my paintings forever…I can hang onto some though. If you are interested in this painting..the best and safest way is me to take it off the wooden stretcher and then you have to get it restretched at your end. / it’s in good condition , there is an indentation in the painting at one end of the canvas.. / but this can be fixed in the restretching. I have just had a proffessional artist tell me that the indentation can be easily fixed by wetting the back of the canvas..it’s a very superficial problem.The painting itself is perfect and undamaged with no paint missing at all from this canvas. / / it’s a magnificent painting even if I say so myself… chemis, 1 day ago / it’s a lovely piece, the coloring is very eye catching, full and well layered / nice work!

Three seagulls in flight – composite image
Being able to escape our little town and hike all these different trails is probably the best feeling and activity that we have here in the summer as long as you are a nature lover. Well this image was taken this summer as part of the Musical bumps trails which joins 3 summits at an average of 7500 feet. This circuit is 21 km long and ties in with The Singing Pass trail. / Taken with my handy Canon Xt, sigma 17-35mm lens / Part of this series /
Original acrylic painting on canvas 24” x 30” / I have always loved photography, but it was a means to an end. I wanted ideas for painting. This painting really came from a deep instinct. It was the first time that I just let it happen as I went along. The color seemed to take shape in the back ground and soon I notice that it looked like spirits. Were they guiding me? I think they were. This is an / /
Simply water droplets and the patterns they make… This is condensation on a water bottle, I used my macro lens for this one and the background was my computer screen. :D Enjoy!

You give me rainbow butterflies / Your hand touches mine and I feel / The wisdom of oak trees line up / And we walk that lane which shines / Both of our spirits on parade Your wings are vibrating those / Colors that catch the light / My eyes are green to emeralds delight / As you listen for my lead / The one I took from our Spirits creed We make a pack of lovers bliss / That all things are possible with / One soulful kiss / That all who know us or come / Our way / Are blessed with knowing / All things are possible / Today. Linaji 2009 All things are possible if we start right now to believe that here in this moment is our POINT OF ATTRACTION / That no matter for how long or what has been going on that does not seem to work can change in an instant if we understand that everything that can ever possibly happen can only happen at this point in time. NOW That everything changes when we start to see that life is suppose to be FUN and we can allow the infinite possibilities to formulate the best path for our desires to manifest. I have never seen this more true than my own life. As everyday I soften my thinking to better feeling thoughts I experience new vista’s to guide me towards that which I am becoming and that which I desire. Today has been such an easy day full of butterfly vibrations and lovely sounds and visions and YOU! xox
