John Milton once wrote, “Loneliness is the first thing which God’s eye named, not good.” This lone chickadee on a limb seems to be a fitting companion to Milton’s quote. I dedicate the image to everyone experiencing loneliness with a prayer that they will find respite from this intense kind of suffering.

The dove is the traditional symbol of peace; I thought it would make a perfect Easter card as a result.

From the original gouache and coloured pencil on watercolour paper. Despite winning a number of awards and commendations, this picture has never been for sale – it is one of the first illustrations I did and hangs above my bed because I just love it so much! The moral of this picture is that when the last of our hope leaves this world, all that will be left will be dull and lifeless. The butterflies symbolise flight and transformation. The unicorn represents hope, creativity, purity and spirit. I hope you all enjoy this as much as I do. Bright Blessings:) This image is fully copyrighted and may not be copied, borrowed, stolen or reproduced in any way without my express permission.

Sumatran tiger – original photograph, digitally accented. Captive animal. / / Name: Panthera tigris sumatrae (Sumatran Tiger) Description: The Sumatran tiger has the darkest coat of all tigers. Its broad, black stripes are closely spaced and often doubled. Unlike the Siberian tiger, it has striped forelegs. Sumatran tigers are the smallest tiger subspecies. Males average 2.4 meters (8 feet) in length from head to tail and weigh about 120 kilograms (264 pounds). Females measure approximately 2.2 meters (7 feet) in length and weigh about 90 kilograms (198 pounds). Distribution: The Sumatran tiger is found only on the Indonesian island of Sumatra in habitat that ranges from lowland forest to submontain and montain forest with some peat-moss forest. Biology: The Sumatran tiger eats wild pig, big deer (called rusa), and small deer (called muntjak or barking deer). The specific range size of this tiger is not know, however the population density is approximately 4–5 adult tigers/100 km 2 (39 mile 2) in optimal lowland rainforest. As elevation increases through submontain and montain forests, the number of tigers in any given area decreases because there is less prey available. Status in the wild: 400-500 wild Sumatran tigers were believed to exist in 1998, primarily in the island’s national park areas, but no island-wide census or monitoring system has been possible. Tiger numbers have continued to decline because of poaching of tigers to supply the illegal trade in tiger parts. The last remnants of lowland forest are being eliminated to establish oil palm plantations and for shifting agriculture by recent settlers from other areas of Sumatra and Indonesia. Ongoing road development makes many formerly inaccessible mountain areas accessible to illegal logging even on the steepest slopes, and many mountainous areas are being converted into plantations for coffee and other products for international markets. Tigers are legally protected but are not highly valued. Captive breeding: For three years, the Indonesian Zoological Parks’ Association (PKBSI) has been working with the Tiger Global Conservation Strategy to develop a conservation program for Sumatran tigers. In addition to the 65 Sumatran tigers living in Indonesian zoos, there are 55 tigers managed by North American zoos, 100 in European zoos, and 12 in Australasian zoos. This captive population is descended from 37 wild-caught founders. The Indonesian Sumatran Tiger Masterplan now has the potential to function as the heart of the Sumatran tiger population worldwide. It is designed to preserve sufficient genetic diversity to reinforce both captive and wild populations, thus fulfilling its goal to ensure that the in situ tiger program comprises verifiable founders permanently identified and registered in the Indonesian Sumatran Tiger Studbook. It also extends the capabilities of Indonesian zoo staff to professionally manage their tiger programs in Indonesia, and at the same time serves as a model for other range country tiger management programs in Southeast Asia.

This piece I made after coming back from the Lakeland, Florida outpouring,this past June. I made the tree look like a hand reaching heavenward. Trees are a symbol for people. The tree in my art is in need of healing and restoration. Some of the small branches are brittle and sickly, there are no leaves, the fruit is diseased and unappealing to others,and lastly there are bugs on the trunk,indicating infestation. I think there are many people that can relate to this analogy. Trees are usually thirsty for water. This tree however is in need of healing and restoration that can only come from God Almighty. He sends His healing power through the Holy Spirit (represented by the dove, with golden flames of fire). Once the tree is restored, it will be able to drink from the Living Water of Christ. This powerful piece gives me hope, that all people have the opportunity to reach out to be restored back to health.

Across the sea at which it stares / Brings fading hope for polar bears / Ice habitat that once was theirs / Is now destroyed by all our wares / / Ice home where polar bears roamed free / Melt quickly now into the sea / Despite their size and majesty / Their home now they are forced to flee / / Once great white kings of white empire / Move now they must, despite desire / The dangers real, the dangers dire / To stay means that they’ll soon expire What have we done to these poor souls / Filled air with gas and ozone holes / Exploited earth without controls / In our pursuit of selfish goals / / The polar bear’s last legacy / Will rise up from the future sea / To swallow shores that we must flee / Our own homes now… floating debris / / This mixed media artwork was inspired by a documentary on the PBS ‘Nature’ series about how polar bears and grizzly bears may soon be headed for a showdown over habitat. As global warming continues, grizzly bears are migrating northward trying remain in the climate they are accustomed to. At the same time, polar bears are being forced to make forays inland, away from the arctic shoreline, in an effort to supplement the food sources they normally rely on. Polar bears normally depend on sea-ice to hunt for their primary diet of seals. / / The sea ice is freezing later and thawing sooner each year at an alarming rate. If polar bears are unable to adjust and adapt to foraging on land for their food, they may very well be extinct within two or three generations. / / It has already been determined with scientific certainty, that it will take over a thousand years to reverse the damage we have done to the atmosphere with our man-made greenhouse gases from our industrial pursuits… and that is only if we stopped producing all these gases today. The arctic ice sheet will be non-existent in as little as ten years, and it WILL be non-existent, as that damage is irreversible at this point no matter what efforts we take today to curtail it. It is already too late to save the polar bears natural habitat. / / This artwork serves as a reminder to us all of the destruction we have caused, and continue to cause, to the other inhabitants of our planet that have just as much a right to life here as we do… if not more. Each time you make an unnecessary trip in your car, or leave a light on in a room where you are not, may ultimately be the difference between another species either surviving or becoming extinct. Remember the ‘butterfly effect’ in every action you take during every moment you take it! / / Anyway… I apologize if this seems like a rant, but it really makes me angry!! I have loved and respected the polar bear since I was very young. This beautiful animal, huge and powerful, and capable of enduring in the most extreme conditions on the planet… and now the only thing that my grandchildren may know of them is from an old picture of what we once had. / / The last of the sea ice in the artwork is a fractal I created in Incendia. The ‘north pole’, background gradient, sun, and foreground sea were all created individually in Photoshop. The image of the polar bear mother and her cub are from a public domain image from the US Fish & Wildlife Service. I have included a link to this image below. / / Polar Bear with Cub – US Fish & Wildlife Service / http://images.fws.gov/default.cfm?fuseaction=records.display&CFID=1672837&CFTOKEN=51517135&id=CB065014-1143-3066-400D4EF727A18D95 The artwork elements were then layered together in Photoshop. The original is 3600×6000 pixels at 300 pixels per inch. Because the original is so large and difficult to see over the internet, I have included a couple of detail cutaways below. / / / / / / /

Concealed within this female physique also lies the mind and spirit of male / No aggressive impaler, yet equaled in strength, with a healers ‘will’ unveiled Yin and Yang balanced in rationale morale, with a prevalence to nurture / Feelings revealed, a warrior is signaled from being sealed, until lured Creatively drawn to a kaleidoscope from nature’s palette of petaled colors / Assertive in talent, though related to stealers, upscale however, as a muller A researching talebearer of telltale details, unrivaled to newsdealers / Battling malevolence, no loyalist to the idealess concealers Alerted to the agendaless or the ambivalence towards mutual relations / To be appealed by dealers of knowledge equaled only to celebration No longer downscaled, the male within, as dialect is embraced / A finale, in female intuition, waiting to exhale, no longer in haste. ©TK Rosevear This is a self-portrait, liquified, embossed, abstracted and doodled upon for the “Faces of ADAWG” challenge, with the words explaining one of my many likable eccentricities ;) Lives in Balance by Jackson Browne

Easter Lily (Macro-As Is) Easter morn with lilies fair / Fills the church with perfumes rare, / As their clouds of incense rise, / Sweetest offerings to the skies. / Stately lilies pure and white / Flooding darkness with their light, / Bloom and sorrow drifts away, / On this holy hallow’d day. / Easter Lilies bending low / in the golden afterglow, / Bear a message from the sod / To the heavenly towers of God. -Louise Lewin Matthews By: / Terri~Lynn

In the Major Arcana within the many decks of divination or Tarot, lies #17 The Star. Representing the Return of Hope, inspiration and radiant energy, the messiah, redeemer, savior, angel or Fairy Godmother (father). On the positive side, its lessons include serving humanity with humility and with no expectations of any return; opening yourself to receive, by releasing fear of lack or scarcity and making way for abundance. On the negative side, would include an exaggerated belief that you are the only means through which a cause may succeed, acting innocently to mislead others and false claims of godlike or angelic guidance. / Symbolically, the STAR reigns in supremacy, constancy, guidance, guardianship, vigilance and aspiration. Ancients believed that the stars ruled or influenced human life, either as divinities or agents of divinity, accounting for much of the symbolism influencing astrology as well. / Image of a friend in prom gown, edited and played with wacom pen in Photoshop7.

All can be manifested…the trick is to formulate it with the stability such that it won’t be randomized by desires unseen in one’s self, or by others, while instilling it with the living adaptability to transcend those inevitable miss-takes… could honest, heartfelt communication be the key?
