In honor of the anniversary of my ancestors, The Cherokee (Tsalagi) – I wish to share a part of myself with all who have joined The Beginning of a new Trail... The Spirit of the Native Indian group has honored us all on this day and for this I am grateful. The photograph is part of an old quilt with the Cherokee Seven -pointed star which represents the seven clans; I am of the Bird Clan, our color is purple and our wood is Maple; the Owl represents my name “WindOwl”, this particular Owl is a barn owl that I rescued several years ago from being shot, then run over – I learned much from this raptor while we spent 9 months together, before his release. Cherokee Prayer / Oh Great Spirit, / grant that I never find fault with my neighbor / until I have walked the trail of life in his moccasins. DOHIYI to ALL who have joined in this remembrance… Coppertrees / Sophie / jan landers / Romo Amazing heARTworks…

It’s Friday morning / bright and early, just gone five past eight / and I’m sitting staring at my breakfast plate. / I bet you wanna know why? I looked forward to my plate of fruit / along with some red onion root. / But now somehow, I didn’t feel hungry, / let me tell you my story. I placed my apple in the middle / and my banana at the bottom, / it looked to me like a smiley face / so I put the strawberry eyes in place. / The onion root made very good hair / but I needed ears, so I cut up a pear. And there it was, my happy face / made up of healthy stuff, / I could hear my tummy growling loudly / and I hoped it was enough! I started with a strawberry eye / big, fat, Juicy and red / between my teeth I squashed the seeds / they were hard like tiny little beads. / I flicked the green bit in the bin, / and from where I was sitting, it nearly went in! It was then I heard a funny sound / almost like a giggle / I turned my head and looked around, / but saw nothing there and frowned. / I shrugged and turned to face my plate, / to pick something nice to eat. / After I’d peeled off the Yellow jacket / I found the banana was soft and sweet / and I squished it through my rotten teeth. I picked up the apple and took a bite / And then placed it back on the plate. / Half way through my second chew / A pair of eyes came into view. A head popped out, gave me a grin / and then it shot back in again. / I held up my apple and gave it a shake, / and out fell a mini snake! Well actually, it was a maggot / it was big though, / since it had eaten the inside of my apple out. ‘What are you doing in there?’ I asked / ‘Well, it’s coz I’m still hungry’ he said / ‘What do you mean, you’re still hungry?’ I said / He grinned, / ‘Well I’ve just finished off your loaf of bread, / and I’ve cleaned the jar to the chocolate spread.’ / ‘I really enjoyed the strawberry pie / I’ve been in the cupboard, you’ve a huge supply’ / He grinned. I told myself it could’ve been worse, / I may have needed to see the nurse. / You know the saying? / What’s worse than seeing a maggot in your apple? / Seeing only half a maggot in your apple!

The beautiful image by Val, Emergence, thank you very much for liking the poem, it was a pleasure to write for, :)x /
image to accompany a series of poems i am writing. I am sitting on the soft green moss / And I bet you wanna know why? / Oh the day I‘ve had, / It’s brought a tear to my eye. / Today I rode on a tortoise shell, / I wanted a lift to the wishing well, / I go there every Sunday morning, / with a very shiny penny. I thought today, it would make a change / since my wings were feeling kind of strange, / to catch a lift with Trevor. / On I hopped / And off we popped, down the bumpy lane. / We started off at a very slow pace / perfect, after all, / we weren’t in a woodland race. / I lazily yawned / glancing at the meadow beyond. / From under the mushrooms the fairies waved / the babies rolled and laughed and played, / what a glorious day. / The Butterflies fluttered by, / bees buzzed from flower to flower, / and the sun was high / in the pale blue sky, / it was very pleasant for mid July. / I was happy to sit on Trevor’s hard shell / thinking I’d have a nice ride, to the wishing well. But poor old Trevor trod on a stone / it was bad enough to make him moan. / He picked up his leg and gave it a shake, / but now we know this was a mistake. / I toppled over to the right / I nearly fell off, but not quite. / The cane slipped from my butterfingers / clattering on his shell, like firecrackers. / I turned to grab it, but I missed / and it bounced off of my boney wrist / right on top of Trevor’s head! / And that was it. / Trevor got scared / and I wasn’t prepared. Off we flew up the lane, at thirty miles an hour / I didn’t know he would pick up speed / once we rounded the corner! / We must have been doing forty-five / when we shot passed Mrs. B Hive. / I hadn’t realized he could go this quick / I decided it must be his party trick. As the wind rushed by my face / I wondered how my hat had stayed in place. / By now my bum was getting sore / and my feet were dragging in the floor, / all of a sudden he jumped a twig / I don’t know why, it wasn’t big! / But that was enough to send me flying / my eyes popped open, and I considered crying. / I clung to the front of his lumpy shell / and then we passed the wishing well! Up ahead the pond grew nearer / I could see the ripples, become clearer and clearer! / I closed my eyes as I don’t like water / I don’t wash very often, not as much as I oughta! / The next thing I knew is that Trevor had stopped / and straight over his head I had popped. I found out later that he can’t swim / and so now I will have to teach him, / But for now, I’m sitting on the cool green moss, / and drying my poor soaking wings / thinking about the days comings and goings. / Next Sunday I will go to the wishing well / But certainly not on Trevor’s shell!

This is my 2nd and last interview, and I was very happy, when the talented LK Southward said yes to be interviewed,,she has a fabulous talent for likeness and detail,,and i wanted to share her work with you all,,take it away LK…..! Q: How does being a creative person and pursuing your creativity affect other aspects of you life? A: I always try and involve art as much as I can. Everyday, I am constantly finding new inspiration within my ordinary life. This does have a major effect on the way I live. I like to find subjects that I and others can relate to i.e emotive subjects. I think it is very important to ‘know’ your subject otherwise it is almost impossible to bring out the best in them through your artwork. I like art to make a statement whether it be in the expression of a portraits emotions or a fine landscape of a place that you love. / I don’t know where my creativity comes from, my parents arn’t artists although my mother does have a keen eye for detail and perfection, especially when it comes to decorating the house! My Grandfather did a little painting but work is completely different. I only started drawing professionally around 4 years ago. During college I started sketching as a hobby, when my tutors saw my work they said I was on the wrong course, by then it was too late to change! However, once I left I really pushed the art and I gained a little recognition within my hometown. / I have entered several art exhibitions since graduating from college and have managed to contact Stan Laurel’s (of Laurel and Hardy fame) daughter who lives in California. We are now great friends and talk almost every night of the phone! Q: Tell us about one person or moment that has made your time on REDBUBBLE particularly special or meaningful. A: I cannot say only one person. I suppose the feedback you get from other talented artists on redbubble in particularly meaningful. I could not believe the amount of outstanding artists would leave such pleasant and encouraging words about my artwork. I am sincerely overwhelmed by the amount of unique talent on here! Q: Show and tell us about five works on redbubble that have moved or inspired you. A: Well I am a huge fan of photography, my Father being an avid snapper, so all the works I have picked are photographs. All my work is done from photos so this was probably only fitting to the choices. This does not mean that other works of art in different mediums have not inspired me also, it was so hard to pick only five! ‘That Sky’ by Mel Brackstone / Having only recently ventured into Landscapes, this piece really caught my eye. The colour and composition is no less than perfect! I have never seen a photograph so beautifully rendered- the illusion is absolutley stunning. ‘Alone’ by Kenny Gulley Jr Working with emotive subjects again, this work is simple and effective- Kenny has captured the very moment with this photo. His use of colour too gives it that sombre mood..just one guy, alone, nowhere to go it’s very raw and emotional. ‘Mother’s love’ by Rebecca Zachariah Rebecca’s ability to capture life in the moment is impecible. Her portfolio is very captivating and real. In this shot she has mastered the camera! The simple emotion of a mother holding this tiny baby with tenderness is very moving and inspiring. ‘LA living’ by Mike Shin Being a real lover of the City of Angels I had to choose this picture by Mik Shin. This images reminded me of my time in LA last year and in April of this year, the traffic is constant and vibrant yet their way of life is pretty quiet and layed back- unbelievable! ‘Call Of Duty’ by Andy Mueller IPA This photograph by Andy moved me to tears when I first saw on redbubble. It gives you an indescribable feeling. The image really does just saw it all! Q: What is the primary reason you make and enjoy experiencing art? A: I always struggle with questions like this…I really don’t know. I guess I just love expressing myself through art, there is no better way for a person to really show their feelings and thoughts by means of artwork. And they need to see others too, that way they can share emotions and gain ideas. Q: List some artists or experiences which have shaped the way you see the world. A: Events tend to give me ideas when it comes to my artwork. The attacks on the World Trade Centre for example, war, human relations etc… Making a true statement with art really means something to me. When it comes to portraits however, it’s slightly different. Captivating eyes, raw human emotions, beautiful and interesting features inspire me there. I recently published a picture on here of a little indian girl crying..the photograph caught my attention anyway and it has gained special place in my portfolio- so far it is my personal favourite portrait. /
