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 /

First Day of School / Acrylic on canvas 150×99 cm / Going to school for the first time is a big day. At the tender age of five my younger daughter was fortunate to have a big sister with inside information on how best to go about it. Together they travelled on the school bus and embraced the big new adventure with uncertainty and courage. / In the painting, I wanted to catch the fear and trepidation of the occasion, the sense of the journey beginning, a big milestone in life. Also I wanted to show the rich imagination of the young child and the creativity waiting to be unlocked and expressed in the right learning environment.
abstract photography from nature is something I enjoy to do so much ! / also painterly feel / impressionnist style photography. / my joy is greater when both are combined, as here. It is my way of expressing my love for traditional art and compensing for not having the time to paint at the moment . / Hope some of you will like it =) / this is one taken last summer July 2008 / (florescence is a collection with many color variations, more contrast etc. the link from my other RB will be added as soon as I get them uploaded) / - / copyrighted / - /

My camera, lens fingers, toes etc were all frozen. equipment used / tripod, / canon rebel xsi / 17-55mm lens / tiffen uv haxe polarizer filter / tiffen polarizer lens I couldnt’ choose so i’m uploading two images. please feel free to let me know which one you like best as is
