This is the old Beamish wheel in County Durham, England. Painted in watercolour and pencil, in the style of Thomas Hair (1810 – 1875). / My hero from the 1830’s. He is unknown in his own town (Newcastle upon Tyne) and was buried in an unmarked grave, but his work was stunning. Finding artistic beauty, amongst the hellish conditions of industry, in the 1830’s! This is my latest (and my personal favourite) from my Thomas Hair series.
I shot this last November on a really cold day down on Lake Ashi, near Mount Komagatake and Fuji-san. Nikon D300 / 80-200mm f/2.8
For those of you who love autumn/fall enough to have it all year round! I live in the UK so always refer to this season as autumn, that is a very nice word and everything…but i prefer the term “fall”...its so much more descriptive and represents this season much better…anyway you guys can ignore that chatter if you like…here is a calendar, anyway!
I have so many autumn shots to upload it’s ridiculous… thought it’s one of the most photogenic times of the year. I’m not looking forward to winter though! Enjoy!
The sunset colours, / the setting of the sun indicating an end to the unfathomable 2009 fires of black Saturday. The tall trees with limbs represent the entire families taken, / the saplings the young lives cut short. The child represents our hope, / the single leaf the renewable nature of our botany. The single yellow ribbon, / those millions who gave from their hearts in everyway they could. To this child the leaf is salvation and from where she stands it is all she can see.

After my ill-fated original Water Horse artwork was destroyed/lost by the postal service while sending it to its new home, I decided to make another Water Horse of sorts. This one is done in a bit of an Asian style, and is a mixed media creation (oil pastels, colored pencils, art markers, gold paint pen, and liquid copper leaf) on light green Canson pastel paper. The artwork measures 12.5×19 inches. A small study of the basic horse figure was also created and is named Painted Pony According to legends, a Water Horse is a supernatural creature that lures humans to death by drowning. —-—-—— / From Wikipedia The kelpie is a supernatural water horse from Celtic folklore that is believed to haunt the rivers and lochs of Scotland and Ireland. Its hide was supposed to be black (though in some stories it was white), and will appear to be a lost pony, but can be identified by its constantly dripping mane. Its skin is like that of a seal, smooth, but is as cold as death when touched. The horse’s appearance is strong, powerful, and breathtaking. Water horses are also known to transform into handsome men in order to lure women into their traps. It is understood that the nostril of the horse is what creates the illusion of grandeur. The water horse also creates illusions to keep itself hidden, keeping only its eye above water to scout the surface, much like the illusion of a fish’s pupil. It is wise to keep away from them. If a human climbs on the back of a water horse, the horse will often dive into the water and drown its rider. If a human gains control over the horse it can be put to work in fields. Water Horses have the strength of ten land horses and do not like to be enslaved and will try every trick to escape. The water horse then courts its master for several years before it consumes only the left leg and right hand pinky finger of the victim. The water horse is also a common form of the kelpie, said to lure mortals, especially children, into the water to drown and eat them. It performs this act by encouraging children to ride on its back. Once its victims fall into its trap, the kelpie’s skin becomes adhesive and it bears them into the river, dragging them to the bottom of the water and devouring them – except the heart or liver. A common Scottish tale is the story of nine children lured onto a kelpie’s back, while a tenth keeps his distance. The kelpie chases him and tries to catch him, but he escapes. A variation on this is that the tenth child simply strokes the kelpie’s nose, but when his finger becomes stuck to it he takes a knife from his pocket and cuts his own finger off. He saves himself, but is unable to help his friends as they are pulled underwater with the kelpie. Commonly known as spirits of the dead, kelpies are not benevolent creatures. An exception is a Scottish tale in which, towards the end of the mystical period of Scotland, a water horse fails to travel to Tír na nÓg with its fellow mystic folk, and instead rises above water, seeking a wife. However, after attempting to court a clever girl, who consults the wiseman about the situation, he is captured and forced to work in order to be taught compassion. After learning his lesson, he is given the choice of departing to Tír na nÓg, or drinking a magic potion that will make him a real man. The water horse, now full of love decides to drink the potion which erases the memories of his life as a water horse and gives him the chance to live with the clever girl with whom he has fallen in love. —-—-—— View more of my artwork online at http://www.lynnetteshelley.com Also check out Water Horse III
