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 1L Gate (description for context): to the immediate left of this piece is the trellis gate leading to the backyard gardens. And immediately left of that is the companion gate art piece flanking the other side. Growing and climbing up this art piece is ivy and a wisteria with pale pink flowers. To the left of the piece is a huge true red rhododendron bush/tree. And to the left of that, a twin royal purple rhododendron bush/tree. More toward the ground in this same area is green grass with assorted colorful wildflowers, and running perpendicular to the fence is a bed of large white daisies/yellow centers and yellow tulips. 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 /
Seriously, I see a Zebra in the grass! LOL!

Outdoor Art Series to Neighbor’s Garden (description for context): this art series has extended to the neighbor’s garden! This art piece is attached to the neighbor’s barn. Raw wooden hand-carved beams hold up this end of the barn; a tin mossy roof; ferns and trees surround it; handmade wooden wheelbarrows strewn about. To the left of the barn are the pastures and large oak trees and bamboo groves, flower gardens in abundance and streams with croaking frogs. The chestnut horse, Romeo, is in his corral. To the right is the old barn red house. Roses and rhododendron all over, ivy, ferns, wisteria covered arbor over the patio dining area, daisies, and berries surround brick enclosed ponds with goldfish. Tables covered with floral tablecloths and old kerosene lanterns and set for tea with everyday silver and blue willow dishes. 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 /
Fantasy landscape in unusual colors. Fractal digital. This one’s for Nigel!
Featured in the group The Fabulous Prairies An expose on balance in color, texture and the elements of nature. This prairie landscape is an image ingrained in my mind as I reflect on my years growing up on the family farm 40 km SE of Swift Current, Saskatchewan / Taken with a Sony DSC-H5 Point & Shoot camera. Only post development done with Photoshop is color enhancement to highlight the natural colors and contrast. / /
Flower macros constitute this calendar for 2009. I tried to match flowers with months in which they grow here in Louisiana; I am not 100% accurate but I tried. Camellias in January; amaryllis in February; iris in March; calla lilies in April; bottlebrush in May; roses in June; the splendor of the entire garden in July; wild grass seed blossoming in August; lily of the Nile in September; tiger lily in October; chrysanthemum in November; magnolia in December. (I know magnolias do not bloom in December but it looked like a Christmas candle so I chose it for that month). Hope you enjoy the view. (This is the second of my Petal Power calendars. See the other one as well if you have time).
Located between Dillon and Twin Bridges, Montana, this scene drew me in as my husband and I traveled. Such a peaceful scene…as far as the eye can see! I believe those are the Pioneer Mountains in the background.
my granddaughter!.. ;)

I’m in a bit of a TTV mood this week. Must be feeling nostalgic with the year about to end… A few days ago, someone asked “what did we do without mobile phones?”. This sparked a long discussion about what we did without all the technology of today. I think it’s funny that we used to just turn up to meet people at a certain place, and just wait till they arrived, late or not. Somehow it always worked, no one got left behind, and everyone always showed up! / / What did we do before the digital age? We managed, whatever it was we did. I used to love creating my mix tapes of the radios nightly top 20, or taping video clips on a Saturday morning. I do love how far we have come technologically, the progress we have made in the last 20 years is astounding. I’m in no way anti progression. It’s healthy and good, but it’s what we leave behind sometimes that I miss. Long live the walkman! :) / / These two viewfinder shots have been combined, layered once, desaturation of one layer, added blue filter, decreased brightness. / / For instructions and information on how I created this shot, see here / / Canon 50D 18 – 55, 58mm + Macro Filter / record: f10, 1/250, ISO 3200 / tape: f3.5, 1/30, ISO 500 / Ansco Rediflex Viewfinder / Home Made Darkbox / / Edited 12am / / MCN:CFJR3-VARDV-Q3Y5W / / / / / / /
