For those looking for love and long-term commitment, it is a very good idea to activate your Peach Blossom Luck. Those born in the year of the Ox, Snake and Rooster should place their Peach Blossom Animal, the Horse, in the South side of your bedroom. This print will also benefit the Horse placed in the south. Activate fame and recognition with this fire energy painting /
This print represents recognition of the fruits of your labour. / It creates wood and fire energy. / Best placed in the South.
i am part of all that i have met, / yet all experience is an arch wherethro / gleans that untravelled world, / whose margins fade / forever and forever when i move. / excerpt from ‘Ulysses’ – Lord Alfred Tennyson
Bush fire, life, death, and atmosphere. / With lovely movement and colour, / solids are transformed to gas, energy and ash, all is one. / Oil on linen painting, 1.8×1.5 meters.
This is my entry for the Photoshop Creative competition / Digital Mixed Media. Mostly done in Photoshop CS2. A touch of Corel Painter and Apophysis 2.0. This image is composed of digital painting, a few fractals, and several photographs added for texture. I hope you all like it because I’ve been working on it for most of this week :). / This is the first I’ve completed in a new series: The Elijah Series. This image represents the chariot of fire. You can read about it here: 2 Kings 2:7-12. There is so much going on in this image so I’ll help you out: The Chariot driven by some sort of Angelic being is in the center of the image while the horses of fire are at the bottom, very front of the image. The blazing light of Heaven is in the very back. Basically, the sky has opened up and the Chariot of Fire is coming down from Heaven to separate Elisha and Elijah. The whirlwind that takes Elijah up into Heaven will be the next image I do in this series. Thank you for looking!

Sometimes there is humanity within abstraction. I’m not sure the proper way to put it, but this, of all my art, bears my humanity. It may seem odd that I consider this myself as other… but the it no rule dictating if other must be human, fantastical, or pure energy upon paper. I consider this to be myself, simply ripped apart and dug into deeply. / This may look like nothing, but it actually was one of the most intensive experiences I’ve had in the visual arts. I find a bit of direction and even peace in it, though its colors are those of anger and melancholy. I chose to post it because I believe in the soul of a work of art, and know for sure that souls, those not inborn, must develop by rubbing off of another through regular interaction – something can be the most magnificent picture/painting in the world, but it is as empty as laser-pigment on bleached printer paper if it came in a flash… likewise the worst image imaginable may have a deepness to shame the ocean if it was danced with for weeks, months, years… there is notable merit in beauty alone, sure, but a soul is often required to speak freely to others.

I would like to thank Richie Fox for nominating this piece for the ‘Pay it Forward’ group here on RB. You can see his awesome art here -> http://www.redbubble.com/people/richman Here’s what he had to say about ‘Moon Fire:’ “I love this art because not everyone is doing it, its abit more specalized. Its close-up, macro shot and there is a talent in being able to see art, so very small, where other folk cant even see whats in front of them. This piece is a macro landscape from a bin/ dumpster and its brilliant. dark blue skies, bright sun and what could be seen as a bright red crop or a fire. colours and contrast work very well in the abstract. To have the vision and creativity to stick your head in a dirty bin and get close up looking for mini master pieces made from dirt, bumps, scratches and rusting metal surley does deserve a mention.” Richie – I’m flattered. Thanks for the nomination. This is a macro image taken from a dumpster in Boulder, Colorado. It has been edited for contrast and embellished to enhance the ‘landscapeness.’ The image is actually upside down… I think. I take so many of these that they all start to blur together. Reminds me of a Colorado Forest fire that I witnessed on a far away mountain.
Acrylic, marker, and paint pen on recycled metal sign / 12.5” x 16” / 2008 Nothing is separate from the web of Creation, everything is infused with Spirit and that essence radiates out to everything else. One strand connects to another, opposites merge to create a new element. This becomes That, Everything is Everything. A spider can hold the entire essence of fire and water, fire and water can make steam, new possibilities unfold but always hold the original spark of Divinity. Unique but Unified. A perfect center radiating forever outwards in an eternal web of Creative Spirit. Special thanks to Spider, who showed up unexpectedly in this painting and is my creative Ally.

I’m proud of this painting because it was such a huge / project to me but..In the end ..the result was very pleasing… I had painted my vision and Ideas about the 4 elements…and it worked..It looked great!! / I will sell this painting because I do need the money , we all want to make a living from what we do best..don’t we..? we have to survive in what way we can and I can’t hang onto all of my paintings forever…I can hang onto some though.

I have just had a proffessional artist tell me that the indentation can be easily fixed by wetting the back of the canvas..it’s a very superficial problem.The painting itself is perfect and undamaged with no paint missing at all from this canvas. / / it’s a magnificent painting even if I say so myself… chemis, 1 day ago / it’s a lovely piece, the coloring is very eye catching, full and well layered / nice work!

The other side of “Cloudy”
Watercolor and pencil on illustration board, / 15×20 / 2009 Related work: / The Waterman: Unio Mystica This is the second panel of The Waterman triptych. While the central panel represents the Christ as the macrocosm, the side panels are the microcosm, represented by the Four Elements and their manifestation in the physical world. Ignis Aeris is the yang pillar, the elements Fire and Air. Volatile and oriented upward, these elements are connected to the realms of the abstract thinking and intuition. Fire is the energy, passion and primeval instincts, that need to be balanced by the intellect (Air) in order to manifest in a most constructive way. The certainty of the Divine, that comes from the heart and from a primal knowledge, needs to be shaped by the intellect in order to become less aggressive and to expand (the butterflies rising from the fire and flying upward). Only through a perfect combination of faith and reason we can access the Divine and understand Its Laws. At the basis of the picture, handling the creative power of Fire, we see the Magician of the Tarot, which I represented wearing the skin of Nemean Lion, just like Greek hero Herakles. He represents the first step in the Hero’s Journey, or that path that each one of us need to find out and go through in order to become Whole with the Universe. The Magician is the one who uses his power of will (Fire) and mental skills (Air) in order to find his own path.
You give me rainbow butterflies / Your hand touches mine and I feel / The wisdom of oak trees line up / And we walk that lane which shines / Both of our spirits on parade Your wings are vibrating those / Colors that catch the light / My eyes are green to emeralds delight / As you listen for my lead / The one I took from our Spirits creed We make a pack of lovers bliss / That all things are possible with / One soulful kiss / That all who know us or come / Our way / Are blessed with knowing / All things are possible / Today. Linaji 2009 All things are possible if we start right now to believe that here in this moment is our POINT OF ATTRACTION / That no matter for how long or what has been going on that does not seem to work can change in an instant if we understand that everything that can ever possibly happen can only happen at this point in time. NOW That everything changes when we start to see that life is suppose to be FUN and we can allow the infinite possibilities to formulate the best path for our desires to manifest. I have never seen this more true than my own life. As everyday I soften my thinking to better feeling thoughts I experience new vista’s to guide me towards that which I am becoming and that which I desire. Today has been such an easy day full of butterfly vibrations and lovely sounds and visions and YOU! xox

Soo I got alittle frustrated with all the smoke here in southern California, and noticed ash all over my patio….so decided to paint with it. / Just sad to see alll those trees and homes gone, and decided there must be some good somewhere from all this disaster and 2 lost firemen.
