  I’m so excited ! I received notice today that a very talented artist here on Redbubble bought a copy of “Cloud Mist Tea ” as a card today. And I’m just so excited & over the moon ! Thank you so much Joan…. you made my day hon !!! hugs And I talked to my daughter Desiree today, who is doing well in her job & as a matter of fact, just got a promotion. Which we’re all happy about. So to celebrate….though not really…. she went to the hairdresser’s & had her hair done, re-styled. She had 10 inches cut off & donated it to Locks of Love, a non-profit organization that provides wigs to financially disadvantaged children in the United States and Canada under the age of age 18. These children have lost their hair due to cancer or to a medical condition called alopecia areata, which has no known cause or cure. Being able to face the world proudly is a simple thing we take for granted, but for these kids, the gift of hair can be a gift beyond measure. You can read about it here, at their web site. Locks of Love Again…. thank you so much for buying “Cloud Mist Tea” Joan !!! hugs

• Artwork in Progress/Clouded Leopard/ Signature Affixed
  by BarbBarcikKeith

  / And because you had such fun with the last…

  / And because you had such fun with the last one.. here’s another to learn from – I hope. / You already know how I start paintings/drawings but what you don’t know is the actual amount of TIME I spend working on things. Please keep in mind that I have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome AND assorted degrees of Rheumatoid and Osteo Arthritis so the amount of time I can comfortably spend drawing depends on the weather and me. / This was started on 04/03/08 and I spent approximately 1.12 hours working on it. The photo was taken at the end of the session. / / Because of other pressing commitments, this was put “down” for a while as I worked on other things. I got back to it on 05/21/08 and spent 1.18 hours working. Again, the photo was taken when I stopped. / / Today, being a holiday here in the States, I’m going to “play” as much as I can. It’s not raining any more (nice storm earlier – thunder and all – had my poor Maxie hiding under the drawing board!) so today’s date is 05/26/08 and this session ended after 1.47 hours. / / I decided that I wanted to at least get the eyes done before I went any farther. I spent 1.04 hours on the pair of eyes and am relatively pleased with the outcome, as shown below. / / Just thought I’d give you a close up of this one to show you how many colors are there.. a lot more than you think, I’ll wager. / / I had planned on doing a little more than just .38 hours but the hand was barking rather loudly and that means I must take a break. I put this one up for a bit because I had to work on another piece (will show you the “Rat Terrier” at some point) that, I thought was urgent. But then the reasons for me rushing it evaporated!! So, as you know, I worked on the Cape Hunting Dog for a while and then came back to the Clouded Leopard. This particular session only lasted .53 minutes. / / This morning, 06/07/08, I had a little more time to spend on this guy with almost 2 hours!! I don’t do that very often anymore but this session lasted 1.54 hours with more planned for later today. / / And just for the fun of it, I’m giving you a close up of BOTH eyes this time. / / So, as long as I’m telling all my secrets how about the colors I used for the nose? / You’re going to love this!! Faber-Castell: dark flesh and medium flesh. Prismacolor: black, white, peach, light peach, terra cotta, burnt ochre, nectar, blush pink, espresso, seashell pink, artichoke, clay rose and pale vermillion. This session lasted all of 1.18 hours. / / I’ve added a couple of washes to this (ochre, brown) and then – after it dried, of course (me and my handy blow dryer!) more pencil work. I layer everything over and over again until I get the colors I want. One thing more, raw sienna from Derwent has been added to the list now. / / A couple of new colors added.. Prismacolor: periwinkle, Faber-Castell: burnt yellow ochre.. but I believe it is now almost breathing.. life is coming into it.. Session lasted 1.47 hours. / / Really getting down to the nitty-gritty now.. at this point all I have to finish is the remainder of the cat’s body and some of the highlights.. and it will be done. This session only lasted .52 minutes because my eyes were beginning to cross! / / And this morning, the final touches went on. Session lasted exactly 1 hour (that doesn’t happen very often – good when it does though).. the highlights, whiskers and other little bits and pieces that make it a finished piece. / / A total of 7 days with around 16 + hours of time.. and this is the result. / / THE END

  What a week on redbubble !! I’d just like to express my overwhelming joy and thanks to ALL in the RB community. / My week has been full of highlights and Blessings firstly with “The Covenant”being featured on the Art page. Secondly the sale of two cards of ‘The Covenant’ and ‘Blades on the Locks’, then my image ” The Broken Vessel” being chosen as the avatar for Living Christianity. To top it all off, I opened up redbubble to find that “The Covenant”had made the Home Page!! / I would like to offer my very sincere thanks to everybody who took the time to view “The Covenant” and make ALL those wonderful comments, it really is very overwhelming and somewhat humbling to have such beautiful and genuine comments from a community of very talented people, here on RB !!! / I would also like to express my thanks to those who voted for “The Broken Vessel”, it is real joy to be able to represent the group, like that !! / In regard to “The Covenant” it really was one of those Divine appointments where i was in the right place at the right time to capture “The Magic of the Moment” / The image was taken just after a rainstorm, towards sunset at the close of a rather hot, humid, stormy summer’s day near Geelong, Australia. / Once again thankyou for your wonderful support, / Phil T.

• A short walk in the snow

  This year hasn’t been a good year for trips to the snow to take photos. In fact I only managed one trip up to Mt.Hotham in Victoria, and even then only managed to take a relative handful of shots. The best shots I got was actually from a short walk I did up to the top of Little Mt Higginbotham, which is at the south end of the Mt.Hotham Alpine resort area. The night before there had been a few centimeters of fresh show, and there was some low cloud hanging around to give an interesting light to get out and take some shots. This is looking up the hill from the Davenport area at Mt.Hotham, as you can see, it really isn’t that far up : Normally you wouldn’t expect this ‘hill’ to be much of a problem, but in the days before the little bit of fresh snow there had been significant rainfall onto the existing snow cover that then froze as the cooler weather came in. This meant that just under the thin cover of fresh snow there was a hard, slipperly layer of ice. Luckily I had borrowed some Yowies from James which meant I had some traction. These are a bit like snowshoes, but specially tuned to Australian conditions and have a mini crampons to help grip in the typically icier snow. There was a short and relatively steep pinch which meant I had to be extra careful heading up even with the yowies on. This is the view back over the village area from the top of that section which also gives some idea of its steepness : On the way up I took this relatively unique shot for the area, there aren’t that many rocky outcrops around these parts : Further up the summit opened right up into something the size of a few sports grounds. I was quite surprised as I hadn’t been up this particular part before. You can see in the foreground a small clump of icy snow barely concealed by the fresh blanket of snow, hinting at the hard stuff below : Up on top there were a number of interesting snow gums with a lovely icing of snow, this one though, really stood out : / The other side of the summit fell away on a nice, but too-steep slope for me to safely walk down : / ...and down a nice tree lined ridge which I headed down (carefully) : / Well, not quite carefully enough, as a camera bag I thought was fully closed spilled much of it’s contents out, which then tumbled down the side of the mountain. This meant much clambouring up and down through the snowgums trying to retrieve the spilled contents. In the end I came back short of one battery and a water bottle. Not too bad considering I could have lost a lens or two. ~ / Browse Images by Category : Snow Landscape Nature Urban

• BUBBLEWORLD VOLUME 2
  by Steven Novak

  Welcome to the second installment of a series of three panel strips I’ve aptly titled “Bubbleworld!” I’m a little late with this weeks entry because I was in Las Vegas with the wife for her birthday. No offense to any of my friends in the redbubble world or their fantastic art, but, well…Vegas is a heck of a lot more fun. That being said, my goal with the “Bubbleworld” is simply to showcase the work of some of the people I’ve met during my first three months or so on the site, and to show my appreciation of them, and admiration for their work in the only way I know how… By poking fun at them. (It’s what I do.) On the chopping block this week is the wonderful Ms. RHANA GRIFFIN Rhana and I go back a few years now. At this point I think she understands my sense of humor as well as anyone, and hopefully she enjoys this. (Because if she doesn’t I honestly do fear for my life.) (For a larger image click the picture) To be fair, Rhana does a heck of a lot more than simply take close up shots of her head and get all “emo” in the description. In fact, she’s a fantastic photographer and I suggest you take a moment to head over and browse some of her work. Here are just a few examples of her work that I used as a direct inspiration for the above piece. (Click for a larger image) I’m going to try and do a new one every couple of weeks, some sooner, some no doubt later due to my amazing ability procrastinate. I already have next weeks edition ready to go so expect it next Monday. Steve!

• Unexpected Beauty- Rainbow clouds and river's of gold.

  Sometimes you see something unexpected that takes your breath away. Two incidents recently have reminded me that even on an ordinary day this world can be surprising and that I haven’t seen everything yet. Driving home from Melburne yesterday just as the sun was beginning to set , I was surprised to see a shimmering halo of rainbow colours behind a particular patch of storm cloud. I have never seen an effect like this before in the sky and am certainly intrigued. Perhaps there was rain in the area where the sunlight was sinking behind this cloud. I guess I may never have an opportunity to see this again though I will keep looking. And of course I didn’t have my camera with me. Another moment of unexpected beauty happened as I walked alongside the Yarra on weekend day trip into Melbourne and was amazed to see the water turn into a shimmering, dancing river of gold. At first I thought someone had cast handfuls of tinsel or metallic confetti into the water. Then I realised that I happened to be standing at just the right point to witness the river reflecting the golden colours of the Eureka Tower. Again, I didn’t have my camera with me, but I hope to see this again one day even if I have to camp by the Yarra all day until the sunlight hits the water at that perfect angle once more. Everytime I think of these moments of unexpected beauty I feel a sense of wonder, that at 32 years of age this world still has secrets to reveal to me.

  First, by my warm welcome here at Redbubble. Everyone has been very generous and friendly, going out of their way to say a kind word. And to be very helpful, & caring. Though I hope to figure out the Redbubble banner dealie one of these days ! I’m a little computer challenged however, just ask my friends Jacqueline & Mandy, :wink but I’m sure I’ll catch a clue one of these days ! At least, I hope. ;o) grin On another note, I just found out I’ve sold 3 more cards today. I have such mixed emotions about it ! I’m thrilled & excited & elated all at the same time. And I’m humbled by the thought that someone likes what I do well enough to buy something. The sale of these cards is such a validation to me, an unspoken hug, if you will. I sold a copy of “Winter Awaits”, & “Gumball Machine”, & my second sale of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” Whomever bought my cards tonight, thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart !! I wish I knew who you are so I could thank you as you deserve ….. personally. Until then though, I’d like to give you a joyous Thank you so very very much !!! Lauren…hugs

  Yesterday I came to the realisation that I really do need to live life just like my dogs; in the moment. / I had a chance to photograph a wonderful sight as I was driving along the main road to town. Instead of stopping right there on the side of the road, and risking holding up traffic or having someone honk their horn at me, or even worse, look at me like I was an idiot, I drove further down looking for a side road where I might get a good view of what I wanted to photograph. / I drove down this dirt road between the sugar cane and realised as I drove that the cane was going to obstruct every chance I had at my target. / I drove back to the main road only to find that it had gone, dissipated. / It was a wonderful sight, cloud all over the mountains and rising up between 2 mountains was a really broad rainbow that ended at the clouds. It looked like it was fighting to get through the clouds and losing the battle. / I was so disappointed and wished that I had just stopped when I spotted it, and taken the shot. / :(

• Top-end climate and seasons...

  After many months of the land baking in extreme heat, the land being parched of all it’s moisture – every plant and animal is pushed to it’s limits of existance in this volatile climatic region.But like all seasons, they slowly change and the first showers and storms begin to form – isolated and somewhat benign in nature at first. Though this soon changes as the build up season gets into full swing and the heat and humidity is at it’s peak. The thunderstorms become more frequent and sometimes more violent and often dumping very heavy rainfall in short periods with cooler refreshing outflow winds temporarily providing relief from the stiffling heat and humidity…though once the storm clears and the sun returns the added moisture at ground levels sends the humidity skyrocketing again. / Wetlands begin to become rejuvinated remarkebly quickly again as all plants and animals look to make the most of this high speed growing and breeding season before the dry returns. Before it does though is the all mighty wet season with daily downpours, winds and little sunshine… This leaves the vast wetlands of the top end once again in full splendour of the annual floods. Access becomes very limited but what a majestic sight it is. This dramatic climate dries as quickly as it explodes and once again the top end will experience many months of cloudless skies as the cycle continues. take a glance at my relevant photograph that inspired me writing this piece… / http://www.redbubble.com/mybubble/works/edit_image/22722

  A very big thank you to the wonderful person who bought a card of “After The Rain” I hope you enjoy viewing it and and sense the atmosphere and excitement of the capture, as much as I did taking it. Each time I look at this scene it brings back very fond memories.
