Fiona Apple Across The Universe Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup, / They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe / Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind, / Possessing and caressing me / Jai guru de va om / Nothing’s gonna change my world / Nothing’s gonna change my world / Nothing’s gonna change my world / Nothing’s gonna change my world / Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes, / They call me on and on across the universe, / Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they / Tumble blindly as they make their way / Across the universe / Jai guru deva om / Nothing’s gonna change my world / Nothing’s gonna change my world / Nothing’s gonna change my world / Nothing’s gonna change my world Sounds of laughter, shades of earth are ringing / Through my open ears inciting and inviting me / Limitless undying love which shines around me like a / million suns and calls me on and on / Across the universe / Jai guru deva om / Nothing’s gonna change my world / Nothing’s gonna change my world / Nothing’s gonna change my world / Nothing’s gonna change my world Jai guru deva [Repeat to fade]
Great as a wedding, get well or simply friendship card, this cloth rose was made with love…
I was on my way to work one morning, on the ferry as usual, when all of a sudden a single frangipani blossom landed on the deck beside me. Where it came from I don’t know. / / I wanted to photograph it, but hesitated. First, what would the other passengers think? Second, I’m sure the crew already thinks I’m batty, and they may be right. / / But the real reason I hesitated is that the blossom wasn’t perfect. There it was on the deck, blowing around, hitting a small puddle of water that was sitting there … and all I could think was “shame – it’s not perfect”. Beautiful, but not perfect. And the scent – I wish there was smellography so I could share that too. / / I picked it up, put it down, and it blew away. I felt a loss and picked it up again. I had to shoot. Even if I didn’t show it, because it wasn’t perfect. / / But I’ve thought about it, and I think maybe it is the imperfections that make it beautiful. The same applies to people. We could make an exact duplicate of a perfect frangipani blossom out of some unnatural material. It would last for years, and always look the same. Extract some scent and spray it occasionally, and you’d have the same effect as a real flower right? No. / / The reality, fragility, and imperfections combined with the improbability of it landing on the deck beside me are what made this beautiful. After all, I pass by a frangipani bush every day, covered in gorgeous blossoms. I’ve never spent the time staring at them that I did at this one imperfect blossom. / / Beautiful. / / / © Sara Lamond 2007. All rights reserved. / / / / / / / / / / / /

DIGITAL PORTRAIT PAINTING – PHOTO PAINTING SERVICES Apple Blossom Chickadee has been nominated for the prestigous Pay it Forward Group by JackyP. This is what she said about your image / “.this is a particular favourite of mine and always makes me smile :) The image seems to sum up the arrival of spring with the lovely blossom and little chickadee. Renee puts a lot of time and love into her work and the results are just pure bliss!! / -—-—-—-—-—-—-—-- / Thank you so very much Jacky! / -—-—-—-—-—-—-——- / Featured in Painted-Digitally – February 25, 2009 / Featured in Cards: Best of your Best – February 2, 2009 / Featured in Country Bumpkin August 6, 2009 This art started out as a photograph of a black-capped chickadee sitting on a barren branch. After a very long winter (so far) I needed something that sang Spring time is just around the corner! After a lot of fuss, and several hours, in Photoshop and Painter X this is the final result. Every pixel of this piece was re-painted (digitally) by hand. All of the apple blossoms and leaves were created from scratch. As a final touch I added some texture to the piece to give it that last little edge I was looking for. I hope this image inspires you to dream of Spring :) / / Lavender Finch / / Fine Art Gallery / Bird Gallery / ADD RENEE TO YOUR WATCHLIST
