Pink and yellow frangipani
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. / / / / / / / / / / / /

“Love Rests on No Foundation ~ It is an endless ocean, with no beginning or end. Imagine, a suspended ocean, riding on a cushion of ancient secrets. All souls have drowned in it, and now dwell there. One drop of that ocean is hope, and the rest is fear.” ~ Quatrains of Rumi Plumeria Blossom on Lava Rocks / Hamoa Beach Maui Hawai`i Copyright © Sharon Mau / All Rights Reserved Featured in Natural Colour and Light group 25 December 2008 Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi This lovely Plumeria blossom floated from the tree which arches overhead as I was walking down the stone steps to the luxurious black sand beach of Hamoa, one of my favourite beaches on Maui. I was captivated with the beauty of it resting softly on the lichen blanketed lava rock and the contrasts of soft sensual beauty with the rough textures of the hardened magma. Of course I instantly stopped and photographed it. It is one of my favourites and I am happy you enjoy it
Pouring rain forced us off the beach at Direction Island and into the shelter of the forest. Our senses were buzzing with the sound of rain and waves, the rich saturated colours and the scent of summer rain. / Direction Island is a much-loved anchorage for yachties, cocos locals and visitors, but no one lives there permanently. We shared it with about 10 people on this particular day. For enquires about canvas prints, or photographic prints larger than Redbubble options, please contact me via bubblemail
This began it’s life as a black ink A5 illustration on Acid free 110 gsm Cartridge paper… I later coloured it using Derwent colour pencils… / In colour it comes to life… the silhouettes of tiny bugs glow as they swarm around a heart of lush green foliage & exotic flowers…
Acryllic on canvas 16×24 Inch This work was for the Inaugural Art Exposing Eating Disorders Exhibition. An exhibition held at Sydney’s Mori Gallery with the aim of raising awareness & promoting positive body image through visual arts. / The use of butterflies is in part symbolic of the metamorphosis that transpires as one emerges from the “coocoon-like” existence of an eating disorder, the butterfly wings representing the freedom found in the ability to fly. The flowers, butterflies & dragonflies… some of natures most beautiful creations… represents the notion that true beauty inside & out is created by nature. All sales proceeds were donated to The Butterfly Foundation & 25% of any print sales will continue to be donated.

There are dolphins there, with whom i connected daily and a lot of sealife, including birds, seastars, rays, fish…. the original drawing is gifted to Jack, a fellow artist i met on Tangalooma and now friend, who really appreciated this drawing so much, that I felt greatly encouraged….
