Still life of miniature purple tulips on a silver tray.
This is one of my favorite paintings of one of my favorite flowers. This is one of the last oils I ever painted. The tulips were sketched from those growing in our yard and I just had to place them against our beautiful blue sky.
Photograph of a hummingbird hovering in place, I think just so I could take this picture.. ; )
THE BEAUTIFUL HIBISCUS in “vibrant red” / /
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 right of this piece is the trellis gate leading to the backyard gardens. And immediately right 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 silvery white/lavender 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 /

Every woman deserves a flower now and then. A single flower stands alone,
I was so amazed to find this beautiful flower growing rather alone, it seemed, among others of a lighter color in this beautiful flower garden…could not pass up the interestingly pretty shot / Kodak V1003 / /
Sometimes the light is just right; the colors come together so nicely; and the birds cooperate in one precious moment. I experienced this today on this beautiful day in May. May the serenity and the peacefulness of God’s creation touch you and assure you of His love.

Modern, colorful Buddha head is part of a series of ten original acrylic paintings on square canvases. Unseen here, the image extends around the wrapped edges on the original canvas. Contemporary, peaceful Asian-inspired artwork will bring you serenity. The fresh green and maroon design is an abstraction of a concrete Buddha garden sculpture.
two of my favorite flowers. from my yard
Mrs. Beam jumped up from where she had been squatting in the flower bed with a start. She dropped the old silver tablespoon that she had been digging with. She looked down and saw earth lumps fall from the spoon and suddenly felt distressed, afraid, alone. She did not recognize the noise that had startled her. She rubbed her hands on the legs of her jeans and felt dirt. She cocked her head to one side because she thought it seemed the thing to do. She had seen people do that in cartoons and on television shows when they were trying to figure something out or trying to hear better. A bee buzzed around a flower bud and then landed on her arm and tickled her. “Stop that,” She shouted and brushed the insect away. It smiled and flew to another portion of the garden where a group of kittens was holding out a bowl of honey and flax cereal as a peace offering. It continued on the buzzed up to the roof, where it landed on a paint chip. This bee was rather a rebel and often refused to sit on flower buds because it felt that it was such a stereotype for bees. / Mrs. Beam playfully waved her hands through the air to call back the strange sound that had surprised her. It didn’t seem to be coming from anywhere and yet it was all around her. Or was it inside her. “That’s it,” She said to nobody in particular, which was good, because nobody was around. “It is simply me. That song must be coming from inside me.” Yet she knew she wasn’t singing or humming or whistling. So she sat down on the ground next the a flowering shrub and picked at it’s leaves as she contemplated. / “Stop pinching me,” The bush belched out from it’s roots. / She folded her hands and frowned. Then she realized the melody she had heard was there all the time. She just had to be quiet to hear it. The music was a pattern that emitted from, what she could only think of as her cells. Yet she knew it was much deeper than that. It was like cells within the cells. And they were all singing to her. Or rather she was singing to herself. Then she realized the bush was also singing, but to a different tune. And the bee. And all the flowers. Suddenly the garden seemed to be an orchestra. So she made herself comfortable and sat for several hours listening to the concert. Surrounded is acrylic paint on paper 15”x22”
