I AM HONORED AND WANT TO EXPRESS MY GRATITUE TO ARTIST AND MUSICIAN DONALD DEAN FOR SELECTING THIS PAINTING AS HIS PAY IT FORWARD CHOICE. TAHNK YOU SO MUCH, DONALD. YOU ARE A TALENTED ARTIST IN YOUR OWN RIGHT AND A SWEETHEART TOO! HERE’S WHAT DONALD WROTE ABOUT THIS IMAGE” / “Its asking a huge amount to nominate just one artist amongst all the fantastic work on the bubble, but in order to perpetuate the group you need nominations. If I have to pick one artist who i find inspiring it would have to be Helena nelson-Reed. Now there is the even more difficulte task of nominating just one work amongst all her magic. Well,l let me tell you I’ve been back and forth through all her paintings on bubble several times and i choose The Hollow Hills. The imagry and delicays are mesmorising. Every time you view this piece you get something different from it and her explination just adds. I find with all her work a deep spirituality that comes through the painting and without knowing it invades your soul but also her warmth of character i believe shines through her work and for me after a difficult decision this painting captures all of those qualitys. I cannot express enough just how much her work moves me i think it comes down to the fact that not only does Helena create magical images she infuses the work with such an underlying philosphy that you cannot but be moved by her work.” Celts believed (and many still do) that earth is alive, intersected by a web of energy currents, or ley lines. The concept is similar, but not identical to the Chinese tradition of feng shui. Shorelines, hilltops, groves, wells, springs, and burial mounds (cairns) were believed to serve as points of entry into the fairie world. On certain dates the portals are either wide open or entered easily when the traveler used the correct incantation or ritual gesture. During Samhain veils between dimensions were thought especially thin, a time when spirits and ghosts may entered our world with ease. Samhain was a ritual period when one’s dead were honored and restless souls placated. Depending on the community, it could be a time for casting fortunes and auguring. Sensible folk stayed indoors close by the fire, for strange mischief was afoot and mysterious energies rode the winds. For mortals, crossing dimensions wasn’t without danger. The risk included not returning to one’s original place in time and geography with body, mind and soul still intact. Many entered faerie and never returned. Others returned but lost their minds along the way. Examples of some mythic imagery and personal symbolism follow. On the left side, is a faerie hill, the entry to Faerie. The woman represents the intuitive self, or soul, and the hill is the unknown. The entrance is luminous and beckons in the dark. At night the wilderness can be mysterious and frightening, it’s easy to get lost. Setting out to find a Hollow Hill and doing so with only stars lighting the way infers the traveler is serious about his/her quest, and is brave (or foolhardy) enough to take risks. Birch is a word descended from a Sanskrit and Indo-European word meaning “bright” and “shining”. Some state it’s directly derived from an Anglo-Saxon term meaning “to protect or shelter.” For this reason birch trees protect and disguise the entrance. Their bark is shining in the night, indicating no ill will befall the pure of heart who enter here, but to survive and avoid being lost the traveler must stay focused upon her goal, just as she will this distant light in the darkness. She might detour or tarry along the way, but it’s frightening, difficult journey that purifies and strengthens the spirit, not the destination or Fairie itself. We can’t reach The Hollow Hill without first undergoing The Quest. Text and Image copyright Helena Nelson – Reed

View Big On Black Here Watch an AMV to this song HERE Lie awake in bed at night and / think about your life / do you want to be different / Try to let go of the truth / the battles of your youth / cause this is just a game It’s a beautiful lie / it’s a perfect denial / such a beautiful lie to believe in / So beautiful beautiful lie it makes me It’s time to forget about the past / to wash away what happened last / Hide behind an empty face / don’t ask too much the same / cause this is just a game It’s a beautiful lie / it’s a perfect denial / such a beautiful lie to believe in / So beautiful beautiful lie it makes me Everyone is looking at me / I’m running round in circles angry / A quiet desperation’s building higher / I’ve got to remember this is just a game It’s a beautiful lie / it’s a perfect denial / such a beautiful lie to believe in / So beautiful beautiful lie it makes me 30 Seconds To Mars

Loneliness is an emotional state in which a person experiences a powerful feeling of emptiness and isolation. Loneliness is more than just the feeling of wanting company or wanting to do something with another person. Loneliness is a feeling of being cut off, disconnected and alienated from other people. The lonely person may find it difficult or even impossible to have any form of meaningful human contact. Lonely people often experience a subjective sense of inner emptiness or hollowness, with feelings of separation or isolation from the world. (Source: Wikipedia)

Fictional painting I did this painting because I actually saw in my dream last night a crow. I took it from some place that I don’t remember. I was holding it with my hands and I do remember perfectly that in a weird moment I turn my head back and the crow was sleeping. It was the most strange thing I ever saw in my life – I remember I was watching the crow sleeping and breathing exactly like it was a human or even closer, I was feeling like I was watching a little puppy breathing. / ROUBLE 13×18 cm / Acrylics & Gouache on black canvas

How do you describe the feeling of emptiness, the deep carved out longing for something you cannot reach? Like some gaping wound or a cave of ancient sadness, you feel that nothing can reach or fill that space within you. What is missing from your life? But somewhere a heart still beats and sings of love… / Feelings pulsate and flood your being…. Somewhere the mind is alive and working…. / Thoughts clammer and clatter inside your head. Both will carry on in their way, regardless of the other…and tear you apart, unless you find the keys to that vast space in between….. The two need to come together in balance. / Somewhere in that hollow space, a bridge exists to link the logic and rationale of the head with the freedom and creativity of the heart….. / a perfect marriage of wisdom, words, and knowledge, to emotion, sentience and passion…. Stop and allow that hollow to embrace you. It is a part of you, and you are at home. Close your eyes, breathe, and in the darkness you will see. The keys are there….the hollows are not as threatening as you once thought….they are merely a sign for you to pause and be in your own space, right here and now, so that balance can be restored. / Perhaps it is only your presence from your own existence that was missing all along. /
