This is a photo, which is a departure for me vs. working with oil paints. Have had some very positive feedback from folks about On Approach and wanted to share some of the inspiration for it. I love leaves. This is one of a series I took in the fall of ‘07 here in northern Virgina (an amazing time of year). Actually shot this through rose-colored sunglasses, which really make everything pop. There is a definite truth to the saying “looking at the world through rose-colored glasses”! Life just looks a lot better. Highly recommend a pair in spring and fall, especially for us aesthetic-centric bubblers! :-) BTW – thanks to Melodius for “Autumn Red” , which is a killer image that reminded me about these pics.

I was looking for subjects to Photograph in my Parents’ garden and was about to put my Camera away when my Mum reminded me that there was a nest of Paper Wasps just above the door of the grannyflat in their house. I climbed up on to a ladder and slowly moved toward the Wasps. They weren’t at all fazed by my presence. I fired a test flash and they didn’t seem to care at all. Once I knew that they were relatively calm, I was able to snap off a few shots. I didn’t stay too long though, as I didn’t want to find out if their patience would wear thin! This shot was by far the best one of the day.

Mr Sir and I live in the same place. Not the same apartment number but one wall away. He’s not my cat and I’m not his human so I don’t want any flack about people starting to look like their pets! It just happens to be that we are the only two black things in the complex. Naturally he looks up to me [because he’s short] for social guidance since I’m the senior member of our unofficial duo. And I try to keep him straight about stuff like the proper hair/fur dye for pesky gray whiskers and how to talk to women without having a hand down the front of your pants. (He’s got that one down since he doesn’t wear pants but I still watch him to make sure he doesn’t do any backsliding). Mr Sir isn’t his full name and I can’t remember what it is. Something like ‘Mr Sir Rudolph the 14th’ maybe. He answers to just the “M” and “S” sounds so you can call him “Ms” and he’ll answer. And boy will he answer! This hairy furball talks more than a 12-year old girl with permission to use the home phone. And like humans, he has dozens of sounds/words and uses them all for maximum effect. Hunger? Here come the whine that will make a Siamese want to kill him. Bored? Every hear a cat grumble to itself? Disquieting to say the least. “Hello! I wanna visit!” As clear as a human child learning to talk, you look at him in wonder. Well, this week, Mr Sir made the leap from neighbour to houseguest. I come home and the single ‘mew’ is waiting at my door. Why? Did he get mixed up and think I was his owner (a Caucasian female at least 25 years younger than I) or forget what his apartment number is? Hands full, I have a choice: put down everything and pacify him until he gets bored and grumbles walking away, or; open the door and watch him race inside before me. Until he rips up something, fails to talk when he needs to go outside, or fights me for food, I guess I can stand a visitor for about 15 minutes while he explores and talks to me about how messy a housekeeper I am. Ungrateful. Simply ungrateful. Soon the warnings will be in the newspapers, the radio, the Internet, and the television. Mr Sir who’s sorta like that ‘indoor/outdoor’ carpet and covers the floor in both places, will be sequestered to his proper home and left to exercise his vocabulary upon everyone within earshot. It’s not his fault but it’s another variation of “Strange Fruit” so being black has its serious and unique risks. While I won’t be swinging from a lynching tree cuz I’m a ‘black cat’ (musical slang for a jazz musician), Mr Sir could be because Halloween is coming and there are people (who shouldn’t even be called ‘people’) who do terrible things to black cats. Mr Sir won’t be visiting for a while as he adjusts badly to becoming an ‘inside only’ feline. And I won’t have to fight him for the right to come into my own apartment first (or not to bat my keys in the doorknob or attack the mantis I’m shooting, but that’s another story). We will be forced apart for a bit but that’s OK. He may be horrifically annoyed I get to be outside and he doesn’t but he doesn’t know about “strange fruit” and I hope he never learns. Some disasters need to be keep ‘human only’. After all, why should a talking cat have to talk about crap like that??? PS I actually thought I took this shot with my former ‘pocket rocket’: Olympus IR-500. But looking back at the files I see it came from the lens of my Nikon D80 at its closest focal point of 18mm! I obviously didn’t want to use flash for multiple reasons (not the least of which is animals have such reflective eyes that flashes make them hideous). So on full manual, I pulled off this shot in incandescent lighting from the front and the careful addition of some ISO and on-board noise reduction. While Mr Sir is amazing calm when warm and sleepy, I still shot him at high speed and the camera’s sharpest setting (most VIVID) to be sure I didn’t get any blur while capturing every nuance of his face and fur. This shot is as honest and accurate a shot can be of this great feline. There was enlargement for uploading but nothing more regarding editing than a bit of cropping done to make it more intimate. In the full sized shot, the image is slightly larger than 1 to 1 macro as measured by manually comparing Mr Sir’s actual eyes to the larger Red Bubble image of his eyes. Any closer and his breath would have fogged the lens (and turned my stomach). LOL! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ / 50% of any profit made from the sale of this piece will go directly to the buyer’s choice between PAWS, PETA, and the SPCA.

Mixed media, mostly acrylic on canvas with a couple of heart shaped buttons and my clothing label as a signature. This painting is an expression of the heart of me which is no longer bound by the persecutions or misunderstandings of others who label me too creative, extreme or mystical because I dare to dream, I dare to love….. Knightly Vision Amongst the flowers of the Lord’s garden I see another figure approaching, being unaccustomed to any company in the field of love I am roused from my reflections and as my eyes watch the approaching figure I see a knight in blue with a royal emblem on his chest, a golden shimmer of the royal seal catches my gaze. The Lord draws closer to me and watches my reactions as this new figure approaches and His face is filled with warmth, I see the warmth of the Lord mirrored in this knightly figure and any apprehensions slip away like water. / I see his face now. His tender eyes meet mine and my heart skips. What is this manner of knight who approaches that stops my heart and causes me to draw my breath in? I look for the Lord’s eyes to comfort me, fearing it may be but a dream or an illusion sent (yet again) from the Tempter. But this time, I am reassured with a powerful rush of warmth and peace. / His sword, the familiar sword of truth, gleams from his side. Again I feel my soul comforted by the sight of the Lord’s armour for I recognize the clothing of God, I recognize my fellow warrior for Christ. But his gaze fills my soul. / No shallow, empty soul is this / Pools of light they do emit / Shining love in God’s raiment / A gentleman, a Christian friend He sets himself alongside me / Our eyes have locked, no words can be / My heart has caused my breath to flee / He notices and smiles tenderly His arms reach forth to embrace my weakness / I cannot speak in my female meekness / His nearness sends my heart to pounding / I long for his kiss to start herald’s sounding He senses the yearning that my trembling gives away / Leaning towards me, his lips start to say / More than words could ever convey / Safe in his presence my fears have no place Just one moment, just this time / Oh let it be so, oh let it be mine / Here in this garden where no evil can enter / Where the Lord is our guardian, our protector Away from the world, away from it’s pain / A Knight and his Lady, one and the same….. /

Third in the series… three drops.. nothing too special. I shall explain the crazy set-up for this one… I had the tiny green spring (which was strung with seed beads) resting on a CD with a shiny gift bow as the background. I used a syringe to place the water drops and used my flash as well. Haha, it makes sense to me! Enjoy!
