Sacred Heart mixed medium painting with Sanskrit prayer shard from a Tibetan prayer flag.
Took a different approach for the photoshpcreative07 competition and decided to reverse the concept. Here a lone survivor condemned to a future of infinite chaos manages to escape back into a alternate past of infinite possibility. This could be a physical escape or projected from within the travellers mind; an internal escape to fantasy, much like the ending of Brazil. Have since sold the image for use on the cover of the Griffith Review – yay.

“Wherever you go, go with all your heart.” Confucius
An orthodox Jew is praying at the western wall in Jerusalem. The wall also known as the wailing wall or the “Kotel” is the most sacred and holy place for jews. This is the last remaining wall from the old temple that was destroyed over 2000 years ago. This person is using the old testament bible. The black outfit is typical to the orthodox jews.

This is the unframed version without a quote attached. There have been requests for this version. Captive “The youth, intoxicated with his admiration of a hero, fails to see, that it is only a projection of his own soul, which he admires.” Ralph Waldo Emerson Who is you’re hero? / / Name: Panthera tigris sumatrae (Sumatran Tiger) Description: The Sumatran tiger has the darkest coat of all tigers. Its broad, black stripes are closely spaced and often doubled. Unlike the Siberian tiger, it has striped forelegs. Sumatran tigers are the smallest tiger subspecies. Males average 2.4 meters (8 feet) in length from head to tail and weigh about 120 kilograms (264 pounds). Females measure approximately 2.2 meters (7 feet) in length and weigh about 90 kilograms (198 pounds). Distribution: The Sumatran tiger is found only on the Indonesian island of Sumatra in habitat that ranges from lowland forest to submontain and montain forest with some peat-moss forest. Biology: The Sumatran tiger eats wild pig, big deer (called rusa), and small deer (called muntjak or barking deer). The specific range size of this tiger is not know, however the population density is approximately 4–5 adult tigers/100 km 2 (39 mile 2) in optimal lowland rainforest. As elevation increases through submontain and montain forests, the number of tigers in any given area decreases because there is less prey available. Status in the wild: 400-500 wild Sumatran tigers were believed to exist in 1998, primarily in the island’s national park areas, but no island-wide census or monitoring system has been possible. Tiger numbers have continued to decline because of poaching of tigers to supply the illegal trade in tiger parts. The last remnants of lowland forest are being eliminated to establish oil palm plantations and for shifting agriculture by recent settlers from other areas of Sumatra and Indonesia. Ongoing road development makes many formerly inaccessible mountain areas accessible to illegal logging even on the steepest slopes, and many mountainous areas are being converted into plantations for coffee and other products for international markets. Tigers are legally protected but are not highly valued. Captive breeding: For three years, the Indonesian Zoological Parks’ Association (PKBSI) has been working with the Tiger Global Conservation Strategy to develop a conservation program for Sumatran tigers. In addition to the 65 Sumatran tigers living in Indonesian zoos, there are 55 tigers managed by North American zoos, 100 in European zoos, and 12 in Australasian zoos. This captive population is descended from 37 wild-caught founders. The Indonesian Sumatran Tiger Masterplan now has the potential to function as the heart of the Sumatran tiger population worldwide. It is designed to preserve sufficient genetic diversity to reinforce both captive and wild populations, thus fulfilling its goal to ensure that the in situ tiger program comprises verifiable founders permanently identified and registered in the Indonesian Sumatran Tiger Studbook. It also extends the capabilities of Indonesian zoo staff to professionally manage their tiger programs in Indonesia, and at the same time serves as a model for other range country tiger management programs in Southeast Asia.
Hello bubble friends, Long time I didn’t upload a real portrait…. I took this time a couple of days ago in Eritrea in the school where we were organizing our art activities. / Some people call them the “ninjas”. Some people throw them stones while they are dressed like that… some people do throw them stones or spit on them when they uncover their faces…. In what world do we leave ? / Just leave the woman alone ! Leave the children alone ! Set them free…. Give them a voice !!! it is what Art in All of Us (www.artinallofus.org) modestly try to do !
This man was a ‘street entertainer’ in Carcassonne, France. At this moment he was balancing on his forearms with his legs directly above him. / For more information, please see my comment and story in another portrait of him ‘Mind, Body and Spirit’.
Is it possible? Please consult your local church or pastor for professional advice. I have not been able to do it yet. [bummed] Note: Success seldom comes without any failed attempts.
trust, belief, hope… Dedicated to my friend Heath, his friends and family.

PART OF THE “LIFE IS…...” COLLECTION “LIFE IS….BELIEF” birds over church in prague at sunrise
ORIGINAL FOR SALE $450 plus P&H Out of the ashes… Symbolic of so many things, but personally? I painted this mandala during a time in my life when my whole world was in the process of being torn apart. Fires, earthquakes, neighbours from hell, troubled teenagers,financial crises, health concerns – my external reality was in chaos. And internally? I had been shaken to the core by the knowledge that age had not imparted much wisdom as far as love was concerned. I was still naive, gullible, vulnerable and very much open to belief and trust. And so, almost three years after my late partner killed himself, I opened my heart to this naive trust and allowed myself to be hurt again. And thus the phoenixes arise in my life. This ability I have to love, to believe, to trust, to be nonjudgmental and accepting – that is a gift few people have. And so I choose to give it air, let it breathe, let it burn like a fire. And I will arise out of the ashes of my life to start anew. Painted to the song: The Blessing (My good friend Sammy Horner and the Electrics – thank you!) Marg Thomson / 2009
I am here with you / Do you feel me? / I am here with you / Do you see me? / I am here with you / Do you believe in me? I am here with you / In dark night and despair. I am here with you / In sunlight oh so fair. I am here with you / In tears of sorrow. I am here with you / On every new tomorrow. I am here with you / In times of disaster. I am here with you / In days of happiness and laughter. I am here with you / Feel me! / I am here with you / See me! / I am here with you / Believe in me! Words and photograph by me. / Picture taken at Melaten Cemetery, Cologne, Germany. Your guardians from above are always there. / Just trust and believe in them. / You’re never alone.
