Kristy Lee wrote this… Mermaid - On water’s edge she pauses / Transcends all thought and form / In heavens arms she wavers / Before the brink of dawn This woman of the ocean / Who knows no thought but this / The cool, the clear, the sea foam / The rolling waves of bliss A moment in the moonlight / Spent gazing at the sky / Is cast away towards the deep / Where her sleeping sisters lie And in her wake / She leaves no trace / That you or I could find / A wave, a splash, a ripple / A silence in your mind go here to read more of her fabulous poetry.. http://www.redbubble.com/people/misskristy

The Sea Venture was one of the first ships to arrive in Bermuda. It was thrown accidentally off course by a hurricane and landed on the reefs intact. Its original course was with a fleet from England headed towards / Jamestown, Virginia to aid in the colonization. From being shipwrecked, the crew and passengers of the Sea Venture settled in Bermuda and benefitted from its tropical paradise and set up a small colony. This painting is a Mixed Media piece, combining original digital photography taken in Bermuda by SBC, painting, and drawing. It is intended to capture the natural and surreal beauty of Bermuda. It won an Honorable Mention Award in the Rowayton Art Show in 2006 and First Place in the Darien Art Show in 2007. Thank you for your interest, comments and purchases!
Another collaboration with the amazing photographer John Edwards… his gallery can be seen here.. http://www.redbubble.com/people/johne
Oils on stretched canvas 1.02mx1.02m 2004 / Collection of the artist. This painting represents my interpretation of the Celtic Horse Goddess, Epona – a blending of the feminine within what appears to be a masculine horse, the woman’s silhouette in black combined with the white of the horse, yin & yang. Her hand & hair flow into the mane like tree roots, she is part of the earth, yet also the air – mythical, magical yet also a part of Mother Nature. Look on top of the mountain – for the snowline is in the shape of a horse lying on its side. My inspiration for this painting was my love of coloured horses, actually one of my own blue-eyed Paints. No two Paint Horses are alike, each has it’s own unique colour & pattern. Often where the hair colours meet the markings will have an outline which is known as a ‘watermark’. This one is grey – (black blended into white). In Paint Horse terms the above horse would be called a ‘splash white overo.’ This painting won a Highly Commended & two People’s Choice awards. / Featured in SIMPLY HORSES GROUP – December 2008 / Featured in THE DIVINE FEMININE GROUP – May 2009 / Top Ten in Elemental Goddess Challenge THE DIVINE FEMINE GROUP – May 2009 / Featured in ALL THOSE COLOURFUL PAINTS & PINTOS – June 2009 / Featured in OIL PAINTING GROUP – August 2009 / Top Ten in Most Creative Painted Ladies Challenge – PAINTED LADIES GROUP – September 2009

The sun has a rendez-vous with the moon / But the moon isn’t there / And the sun is waiting for her The moon is there / The moon is there but the sun doesn’t see her / To find her it must be night / It must be night but the sun doesn’t know / And keeps on shining The sun has a rendez-vous with the moon / But the moon isn’t there / And the sun is waiting for her Hapiness is a fickle star / That runs to the call of many rendez-vous / It fades away and dies before us / When you think it’s far away / It’s there right next to you The sun has a rendez-vous with the moon / But the moon isn’t there / And the sun is waiting for her

Painting by Dorina Costras / Acrylic on canvas / 54/58 cm / Original for sale __________ “The leaves grown dark / By the autumn wind fall / Cover the ground, / Cover your body, / The wrapping of your being / That hides your true ego. / The warm dew of your eyes flows, / Nothing is there to wait for her, / It gets lost in the void, / Nothing needs their torpor. / Glitter in the sun / That passes through your body / And immerses it in candid dazzle, / The night is coming, the Orient is dancing, / Whirling in his veils, voluptuous dance / Wraps the world. / .And the wood that contains you, / Oh my goddess. And all is mystery, / Possible enigma, incomprehensible fear.” Gothica – The Pure Nymph lyrics
