Bar Beach
Sun setting behind the backyard fence.
A fence splashed with colorful design
Breath in the color from this fall pastel landscape painting. The fence leads your eye into the picture as it follows the road that dips and emerges in the distance.
This was taken on the border of the Saguaro National Park in Tucson, Arizona.
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 /

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 /
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. / /

Paint horse grazing on a beautiful autumn morning…. as is.
horse in watercolor.. in our neighborhood. Fort Myers, Florida dedicated to all of those who wish they lived free and wild
This farmhouse is located on 111th just south of Isabelle in Erie, Colorado. I dread the day they pave this road. I love the dirt road, I love the farmland and I love that humble little house with its white picket fence! Oh yes and the Colorado Sky speaks for itself! /
Grassy dune on Mantoloking Beach, New Jersey / May 2009 / Nikon D80
Taken in the country just outside of sale in Victoria.
/ in Alphabet Soup group (letter F) / August 2009 / In the Best of Letter F in the Alphabet Soup group August 2009 this is the fence that divides our property with our neighbors property. I liked the look of the tall grass against it
So I went exploring yesterday, along the train tracks. After around 20 minutes or so from where I was standing I had a good line of sight in all directions and there wasn’t really anything worth taking a photo of…until off to my left I heard this odd bird squawking “Bahhwerrfhgj” or something … / Being the curious person I am, I investigated. I crossed the train tracks and was confronted by a fence. Fences don’t scare me. Least of all waist high fences. It may be somebody’s land that they paid good money for, but it is also my land, everybody’s land. So put a fence in front of me, and I will go under, over, through it. Regardless. There could be a good photo opportunity behind that barrier and if I don’t investigate I will be lying in bed at night thinking “Damn it, what was behind that fence!” / I’m not talking residential areas here, I’m not a Ted Bundy stalker, pervert that climbs into peoples backyards looking through windows. Anyway I lifted my leg over the fence with tripod and camera in one hand and….”Zappppp!” In the first split second I felt like I’d just been kicked by a horse, when my brain clicked in and realized that wasn’t the case, I then thought I was having a heart attack. That thought passed very quickly when I realized it was the fence. / An electric fence. To keep cattle out ( or idiot photographers) Kind of a high powered one. LOL! / It scared the life outta me. After a few curse words at the fence I pushed my way through the scrub and came upon some sort of a lagoon with water birds, lilipads and all types of greenery. It was like an oasis. It was beautiful, not a sound around but the birds and a clicking from my shutter. This is one photo, from a series of that day. By the way, the fence didn’t win. I found a sweet photo opportunity :) Nikon D80 / F/11 / Curves adjustment layer
Often the test of courage is not to die but to live.

Abstract Macro Photography – Landscapes i vision a man just finished hiking/ climbing to the peak of the mountian top. / he’s sitting down, looking out over the landscape at the distance peaks he is yet to conquer / hes eating a wholesome, well deserved large beef and tomato sandwich with a big flask of sweet tea. / the winter weather looks like it closing in, so it will only be a short stop off, a re-fuel, he must make his way back down before it gets too dark. / i miss my hiking days very close up / some very old, decaying, scratched, bumped, trodden on, kicked, knocked, weathered small piece of metal. / along with abit of plastic (by the looks of it) conbined with scratches of peeling paint.
