2008 Copyright. All Rights Reserved to Mariam Muradian. This Outdoor Series was created during the time that my Feral Child and Feral Woman were emerging. I had a claustrophobic time being inside anywhere…even my own house. I could only BREATHE outside. So I spent many days and nights outside. I moved my studio outside. I painted outside only. This series of paintings, I am convinced, cannot live indoors because it will choke the life out of them and they will die; so this series is prepared with heavy heavy sealants to live outdoors forever. I place each one very carefully in their “chosen” place. Each must be a compliment in the truest sense of the word to nature. You can never out-create nature. The series can be vibrant and subdued at the same time, depending on its environment. So once each has found their interconnected, noncompetitive place in the landscape, I watch. I enjoy watching these outdoor paintings live their life! How they communicate and play and change with the light, the blooms, the seasons! It is wondrous to witness! Their subtle variations and transformations are always perfectly, proportionately in sync with nature’s doings. Truly awesome! My ART has reached a Nirvana of sort in this context. It feels so right in my soul. Now you know why I must LIVE outdoors and garden and paint! I have never before felt such passion, such joy, and such inspiration! I continue to paint for this series. I will continue to take photographs of these art pieces as they change, as different colored blooms come to surround them. You must see! Thank you for looking and reading about this ongoing process of healing in my life. Please do comment, as I would love to hear how this effects the Beholder. Thank you. Outdoor Art Series 1L Gate (description for context): to the immediate left of this piece is the trellis gate leading to the backyard gardens. And immediately left of that is the companion gate art piece flanking the other side. Growing and climbing up this art piece is ivy and a wisteria with pale pink flowers. To the left of the piece is a huge true red rhododendron bush/tree. And to the left of that, a twin royal purple rhododendron bush/tree. More toward the ground in this same area is green grass with assorted colorful wildflowers, and running perpendicular to the fence is a bed of large white daisies/yellow centers and yellow tulips. I am just so grateful that I can SEE! That my vision returned from blindness, along with my color vision. That I am alive at all! A miracle and a blessing! See the others in the series /

Outdoor Art Series to Neighbor’s Garden (description for context): this art series has extended to the neighbor’s garden! This art piece is attached to the neighbor’s barn. Raw wooden hand-carved beams hold up this end of the barn; a tin mossy roof; ferns and trees surround it; handmade wooden wheelbarrows strewn about. To the left of the barn are the pastures and large oak trees and bamboo groves, flower gardens in abundance and streams with croaking frogs. The chestnut horse, Romeo, is in his corral. To the right is the old barn red house. Roses and rhododendron all over, ivy, ferns, wisteria covered arbor over the patio dining area, daisies, and berries surround brick enclosed ponds with goldfish. Tables covered with floral tablecloths and old kerosene lanterns and set for tea with everyday silver and blue willow dishes. I am just so grateful that I can SEE! That my vision returned from blindness, along with my color vision. That I am alive at all! A miracle and a blessing! See the others in the series /

Mencken (1880 – 1956) Another take of the same Giant Hogweed seed-stalk, standing strong in the autumn sun, filtered by oaks leaves… Again, colour and bokeh achieved by camera-settings – post-edited in phototshop / Photograph made with Pentax K10D camera. Pentax 40-80 zoom-macro lens . Comments and feed-back always welcome. Thanks for looking :) /

A tiny marigold bud against a blue background… I love the folds the petals make when they’re about to open.

You are a light and lovely soul / who spreads rays of diamond qualities and touches others / with peace, coolness & bliss

mixed media on canvas 24”x20” one of a continuing series of portraits created through the practice of allowing….leaving the judge out and the should(s) and shouldn’t(s) and just doing the work. stories unfold that i consider universal in the sense that they are intuited based more on feeling than ideas. not my story. is it yours….or yours…..or YOURS?! lol

O holy night, the stars are brightly shining; / It is the night of the dear Savior’s birth! / Long lay the world in sin and error pining, / Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth. / A thrill of hope, the weary soul rejoices, / For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn. / Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices! / O night divine, O night when Christ was born! / O night, O holy night, O night divine! Led by the light of faith serenely beaming, / With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand. / So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming, / Here came the wise men from Orient land. / The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger, / In all our trials born to be our Friend! / He knows our need—to our weakness is no stranger. / Behold your King; before Him lowly bend! / Behold your King; before Him lowly bend! Truly He taught us to love one another; / His law is love and His Gospel is peace. / Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother / And in His Name all oppression shall cease. / Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we, / Let all within us praise His holy Name! / Christ is the Lord! O praise His name forever! / His pow’r and glory evermore proclaim! / His pow’r and glory evermore proclaim! Words by Placide Cappeau; translated from French to English by John S. Dwight (1812-1893). Created in xenoDream; lettering and lens flare added in Photoshop.

simple mediums….wall paint and pencil She is blissified in the dance SIMPLY….twitterpated like bambi and feline were with each other. i always loved the word because I felt it and would sometimes try to express the feeling in movement almost like a cartoon. I can feel like I CAN rise twist shiver and float…feet moving faster then is physically possible. My mind tells me I can do more…..and SOMETIMES I BELIEVE!! RESIZE for calender

The people that live in this house go so all out for Christmas that they decorate their ENTIRE home, including the front, back & side yards, EVERY room inside, closets, hallways, kitchen, foyer, patio, swimming pool, roof, & even the garage door & driveway! There are at least 250-300 trees each decorated with a different theme &/or style! Lights upon lights upon lights upon lights! Every possible Xmas decoration you could imagine & then so many more that you hadn’t! They open their house to anyone & everyone to come inside for a free tour and they greet you in elf costumes! They do accept donations as their electric bills go through the roof during this time but they do not ever ask or hint around or even imply that you should at all. There’s a donation box located at the begining of the tour that’s it & it really doesn’t stand out much especially in comparison to the rest of the place! We’ve been going for about 3 years now & we tell anybody & everybody we can about it & where it’s at so they can go too. It really is an amazing display much more so than I can ever even describe. These people are truly beautiful people & they obviously love to spread joy to those all around them. Oh I forgot ~ they do have a very small room that has some small souvenirs you can purchase but no real big supplies of anything & a few different flavors of candy canes maybe. But that room doesn’t have any lights or props whatsoever to grab your attention like the rest of the house does. I can’t say what their motives are for doing this every year for total strangers who may or may not give a little bit for letting them come into their home but from what I’ve seen it’s not for the profit. Bless their very generous hearts!

This color poster of my drawing entitled BE and my poem Journey and is an enlarged version of the color plates included in my book The Essence Allowing your Inner being, available on Amazon.com The Journey I am the curving branch / Dancing in the wind I am the drop of dew / Clinging to the tip / Of a delicate leaf I am the firm bolder / Upon which fertile earth / Has gathered / And into which / Creep the roots / Of a mighty pine I am the rustling leaves / And the autumn breeze I am the silence / That surrounds me / And flows through me I am the path I am the wanderer I am the journey Copyright © Richard G.

This is just a little collage I created using two images and several editing features of PhotoImpact11…...As this little Hummingbird sat sipping the sweet nectar of one of my Gladiola blossoms, he seemed so deep in thought as he watched a dragonfly setting on a blossom across from him….perhaps they both shared the same daydream…..if only I had his delicate wings…..if only I had his long graceful beak…...I think this image is what they shared – I think they connected on this spiritual level and I am so glad that I captured the images and had the inspiration to create what popped into my head as I watched both…...I hope you enjoy! / /

An original image of grapes in my yard – the arbor is quite lovely this year…..this was just shot today, 07/05/09 as I took a short walk around the yard and graciously accepted that sweet breath of fresh air…..something we all take for granted – these grapes are actually green Thompson Seedless, but I was drawn into editing this cluster for some reason and this is the end result. The wine glass is hard to see, but it is there – SALUTE ! / / /

An original image captured on the Monterey Peninsula, CA (near Asilomar Beach) on 06/03/09….. Take A Walk With Me Take a walk with me down by the Sea / Bathe in its endless beauty Take a walk with me down by the Sea / Feel the energies all about Take a walk with me down by the Sea / Let your spirit soar Take a walk with me down by the Sea / Breathe, see and feel Take a walk with me down by the Sea / BE………… By / Joyce Dickens / / /

I captured this image on a recent day trip to the old dredge area of the Trinity River in North Western California….well known for it’s part of the California Gold Rush – This pond is actually a dredge hole, and the clear blue water remains ice cold no matter what the temperature…located at the North end of Trinity Lake – Mingo was very warm as the temps were reaching well above 90 in the afternoon – he just could not decide whether to go for it or not….later on he got in up to his belly…..it was a beautiful day in God’s Country! / /
