The lens-inverted woman” its dedicated to Jen Whyte for being the first to read all my posted writings to date, and commenting on every one, and choosing “The World” as her favorite. I visited her RedBubble page and looked a her photography, Then I selected one and …so here it is now a poem based on “The Castle Window” by pijinlane. Thank you. —C.C.
an experimentation that I’ve kept for around on my travels…I like how the colors blend as if frozen in mixing.
I was only interested in painting in clouds or this baby by Ron Muek (I hope I spelled that right).
One of my favorite recent assemblages…I’m so happy to be putting these wonderful gems together!
Framed under glass with midnight blue matt. / Frame size 80cm x 95cm / Artwork 56cm x 74cm / approximately Sales of this Design? – 1 sale so far :) / Midnight Blues is from a painting i did recently on Arches Aquarelle Paper 56×76cm, a mixed media production, utilising inks, pastels, acrylics, charcoals, found objects such as string and fabric….and the most beautiful gold paint which gives the guitar it’s lustre BOATS & BIRDS by Gregory and the Hawk If you be my star / I’ll be your sky / you can hide underneath me and come out at night / when I turn jet black and you show off your light / I live to let you shine / I live to let you shine but you can skyrocket away from me / and never come back if you find another galaxy / far from here with more room to fly / just leave me your stardust to remember you by if you be my boat / I’ll be your sea / a depth of pure blue just to probe curiosity / ebbing and flowing and pushed by a breeze / I live to make you free / I live to make you free but you can set sail to the west if you want to / and past the horizon till I can’t even see you / far from here where the beaches are wide / just leave me your wake to remember you by if you be my star / I’ll be your sky / you can hide underneath me and come out at night / when I turn jet black and you show off your light / I live to let you shine / I live to let you shine but you can skyrocket away from me / and never come back if you find another galaxy / far from here with more room to fly / just leave me your stardust to remember you by / stardust to remember you by Midnight Blues is from the Inspired Series by Karin Taylor, during the painting of this, i was strongly influenced by one of my favourite songs “Boats and Birds” by Gregory and the Hawke, as well as my favourite Australian artist, Brett Whitely, longing to capture something of the wonderful curves he created in his works. It has a dark and sombre feeling, much like how i was feeling at the time i created her. I used to laugh and carry on that my thoughts and my moods could ever be conveyed through a painting, and it was just silly that people reckoned they did so, but just look at me now….i cannot seem to prevent it happening these days!! lol…that’ll teach me to scoff :)

Franconia from the Pemigewasset ~ Once more, O Mountains of the North, / unveil Your brows, and lay your cloudy mantles by And once more, ere the eyes that seek ye fail, / Uplift against the blue walls of the sky Your mighty shapes, / and let the sunshine weave Its golden net-work in your belting woods, Smile down in rainbows from your falling floods, And on your kingly brows at morn and eve / Set crowns of fire! So shall my soul receive Haply the secret of your calm and strength, / Your unforgotten beauty interfuse My common life, / your glorious shapes and hues / And sun-dropped splendors at my bidding come, / Loom vast through dreams, and stretch in billowy length / From the sea-level of my lowland home! They rise before me! / Last night’s thunder-gust / Roared not in vain: for where its lightnings thrust Their tongues of fire, / the great peaks seem so near, / Burned clean of mist, so starkly bold and clear, / I almost pause the wind in the pines to hear, / The loose rock’s fall, the steps of browsing deer. The clouds that shattered on yon slide-worn walls / And splintered on the rocks their spears of rain / Have set in play a thousand waterfalls, / Making the dusk and silence of the woods Glad with the laughter of the chasing floods, / And luminous with blown spray and silver gleams, / While, in the vales below, / the dry-lipped streams Sing to the freshened meadow-lands again. So, let me hope, / the battle-storm that beats The land with hail and fire / may pass away / With its spent thunders at the break of day, / Like last night’s clouds, / and leave, as it retreats, / A greener earth and fairer sky behind, / Blown crystal-clear by Freedom’s Northern wind! ~ Poetry by John Greenleaf Whittier 1862 Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi

From my collection: / Hymn to the Night The pure fresh water appears as liquid pewter this peaceful evening on the water. Featured Art March 2009 Candid Photographs of Friends and Family Featured May 2009 _The X – Human Sentiment Many have asked if this is altered or if this is a Sepia tone. This is virtually straight from the camera. The only post processing is some cloning cleanup of minute bits of debris floating in the water and smoothing the digital noise. It is one of those magic moments when the water appeared as liquid pewter. This is a colour photograph taken at sunset on Chena River Lakes, a beautiful pristine 260 acre lake with crystal clear fresh water from the Chena River and glacial water from the mighty Tanana. When viewed full size you may notice the red strap hanging from the back of the canoe in the water and the highlights on the couple’s hair and their two dogs coats as they paddled silently toward me. The skies were changing day by day with winter fast approaching in Interior Alaska and the conditions were perfect for a Sundog so I raced out to the lake, which is a very large and pure (no motors are permitted, only kayaks and canoes) 260 acre lake of glacier fed water from Chena River with glacial runoff from the Tanana River, on the drive thinking to myself, which side of the lake would be most perfect for the setting sun, and as I pulled up to that area on the remote gravel road through the forest, boreal on one side and permafrost on the other, I saw the couple rowing toward the shore toward me! I was scrambling to shut off my truck, grab my keys and camera, jump out and practically run down to the banks to get the shots before they reached me!! It was so funny for they had two puppy doggies with them, big shaggy ones, and after snapping about 100 images in quick succession, I called out to them “You’ll want to give me your email address!! I can assure you that you will want copies of these, they are fantastic! And the dogs leaped out of the canoe barking and barking at me while she called them back…. it was hilarious!!! So yes, she gave me their names and email address and the remainder of the sunset with fish jumping, toads leaping and calls of the loons, and the brilliant sundog in the sky I can tell you I enjoyed the rest of the evening while battling mosguitos and looking over my shoulder for wolf, moose and bear with a big smile on my face! What a wonderful night it was. Hymn to the Night / “I heard the trailing garments of the Night / Sweep through her marble halls! / I saw her sable skirts all fringed with light / From the celestial walls! I felt her presence, by its spell of might, / Stoop o’er me from above; / The calm, majestic presence of the Night, / As of the one I love. I heard the sounds of sorrow and delight, / The manifold, soft chimes, / That fill the haunted chambers of the Night / Like some old poet’s rhymes. From the cool cisterns of the midnight air / My spirit drank repose; / The fountain of perpetual peace flows there,— / From those deep cisterns flows. O holy Night! from thee I learn to bear / What man has borne before! / Thou layest thy finger on the lips of Care, / And they complain no more. Peace! Peace! Orestes-like I breathe this prayer! / Descend with broad-winged flight, / The welcome, the thrice-prayed for, / the most fair, / The best-beloved Night!” ~ Poetical Works of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow This is offered as a beautiful greeting card / It looks wonderful matted and framed / Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XTi / Shooting Date/Time 11 August 2007 20:42:03 / Tv( Shutter Speed ) 1/500 / Av( Aperture Value ) 13 / ISO Speed 320 / Lens EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM

in the space of dimension… has it a stream of light to others dimensions… traveling soul… to burst one’s bonds…. feeling of security… immortality of the soul…. ... I had an idea for a picture in mind for years which I wanted to draw but thought I couldn’t: a tunnel filled with light, with an even brighter, clearer, unreal light at the end of the tunnel. I tried some fractal work and suddenly had this picture right in front of me when I thought: stop, that is very close to what’s on my mind, even though there are two tunnels. I just looked at it for a very long time, felt an incredible ease of mind, warmth and protection. It had an immediate impact. Self-healing is probably a bit overstated, but it means a lot to me to have been able to manifest the picture in the end. I think it’s one of my most authentical picture, it’s my soul image. And probably it appeals to others as well. who knows….... / / results with done with ChaosPro
