I just can’t seem to get off of this whole lollipop theme. I think it embodies the whole “magic of childhood” theme I am always reaching for. The girls certainly enjoyed modeling when I handed them the lollipops. LOL!!! Anyways, I wanted to create an atique-ish looking image, but still have a sort of fantasy / surreal look to it. I changed the girls photos to black and white, then added the color back in to give it a muted, vintage feel. This, not only looks beautiful as a print, but it makes a lovely “motivational” sort of greeting card for someone who either needs lifted up, encouraged, or congratulated. Thanks for checking this one out.

Here’s one that I thought would be perfect for Ronni Leigh’s group: Children’s story and art. ... a classic fairy princess outside her magicasl castle.

My new wolf friend seemed to like having his pictures taken – he stared “up close and personal” right into the lens. I believe it is only fitting to donate the proceeds of the sale of this image to a park that more than 200 wolves call home! :) Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Algonquin Park

From my collection: / Enchanting Peafowl at the Garden of Eden, Maui, Hawai’i Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved Na Ka Pueo Maui In the lovely tropical Garden of Eden on Maui there is a wonderful bird feeder very much like a candy or gumball machine. You drop your quarter and turn the slot and out spills a special blend of feed for the many birds in this beautiful botanical garden of Puohokamoa Valley. It is wonderful as the birds have become conditioned to the sound and come from all directions to feed. It is a perfect photo opportunity. I sat on the ground and photographed the beautiful Peacocks, dove, ducks and other birds, filling a two gig card. Proud and beautiful the Peacock struts and poses for me. / / The magnificent male has a long train of beautiful feathers, with eye spots, brown, yellow and green with black centre, brilliant blue feathers on the body, green iridescent plumage and beautiful yellows, and grey feet. The male (peacock) Indian Peafowl has beautiful iridescent blue-green or green coloured plumage. The so-called “tail” of the peacock, also termed the “train”, is not the tail quill feathers but highly elongated upper tail coverts. The train feathers have a series of eyes that are best seen when the tail is fanned. The Indian Peafowl is probably the oldest known ornamental bird. It was first introduced into the Mesopotamian cultures more than 4,000 years ago and then Into the Mediterranean area. Since that time, many different colors and breeds have been produced by man, including mottled, white, and a black-winged variety. Peafowl, particularly the brightly colored peacock, are one of our favorite captive birds, well suited for parks, zoos, and other domestic situations. The peafowl is the largest member of the pheasant and turkey family. Although commonly called peacocks, this term is properly applied only to the male peafowl. Female peafowl are called peahens. There are two species of peafowl found in the wild, the Indian Peafowl and the Green Peafowl. The magnificent white peacock is actually an Indian Blue. Peafowl build shallow nests made of sticks, leaves, and grass. Nests are usually located in the undergrowth of the rainforest. The female (Peahen) Indian Peafowl has a mixture of dull green, brown, and grey in her plumage. She lacks the long upper tail coverts of the male but has a crest. Females can also display their plumage to ward off danger to her young or other female competition. Peafowl can be companion animals but there may be problems with dogs, cats and other pets. They may roam and roost on adjoining property. Peafowl have been called “urban guard dogs” because their distinctive cries can act as a warning of approaching people. Peahens lay from 3 to 5 whitish eggs usually in a shallow depression dug in the ground, hidden underneath brush or in some other concealed location. The female incubates the eggs for approximately 28 days. After hatching, the young chicks follow the mother about for protection, even though they are capable of foraging on their own. The Indian Peafowl is native to India. In the wild, these peafowl usually live in small family groups, preferring dense, hilly jungle near water. The closely related Green Peacock is found in southeast Asia. During the spring breeding season the peacocks are courting and displaying their beautiful feather fans, providing a popular photo opportunity. According to Greek mythology, the “eyes” on the tail of a peacock were placed there by Hera to commemorate her faithful watchman, Argus who had a hundred eyes (Ovid I, 625) In the local folktales of India the peacock has a special place. A Punjabi folktale describes a Queen reqesting her husband not to hunt peacocks and tells that the peacock is her brother. Although peafowl are large, powerful birds, they are somewhat weak fliers and spend much of their time on the ground looking for food or perching. Peafowl feed on many different types of food including both plants and small animals. They seem to be especially fond of snakes, even poisonous ones! Peafowl will fly for short distances, especially to escape danger, and also to roost in treetops at night. Peafowl, particularly the males, are one of the most colorful and strikingly marked of all birds. O ne of the best known features of these birds is the fan or “train” of the peacock, which is opened and displayed by the male to attract the peahen. These feathers are actually long extensions of the upper tail covers. They are supported from underneath by the much shorter tail feathers. These feathers grow to be several feet long, but are shed each year just after the breeding season. Each of these long feathers also has a design near its tip which resembles an eye. The feathers of the peacock are composed of many colors, including Crescent sheens of bright blue and green. The peahen lacks these long, showy tall feathers and although colorful, is not nearly as brilliant as the male. Both sexes also have a crest of short, erect feathers along the crown of their heads.

A mix of Photography and digital Art / I used the playful pink and purple hues to give the image a warming happy impression. / The flower petals are meant to give the impression of a soft landing. / My aim for this picture was to not just give an aesthetically pleasing photo but to try to give an abstract representation of tears of joy.

Photos to spark a smile (or at least i hope!)

Hello all ☺ I’ve been quietly viewing your wonderful works from behind the scenes recently – trying to tip-toe on the site whenever possible and leaving comments here and there – but nowhere near as much time as I would like. Still, things are settling down somewhat so I’ll be making sure to make more effort to catch up with all you lovely people. A lot has been happening recently; some good things, some not so good – but that’s the joy of the diversity of life. Still, although I haven’t been drawing much lately (and the bad things aside) I have been having lots of fun (recently got back from Turkey) and I thought I’d share some pictures. I hope they manage to spark a smile or two. Kindest regards to all x

Sometimes when I do selective coloring, I isolate the parts I want to keep in color, then change the rest of the photograph to black and white. In this shot, I took this photo in color, then changed to black and white. Then I digitally airbrushed in the selected parts of the image I wanted in color. I thought the soft, pastel shades would give off a dreamier effect. Best viewed large. / Original Photo

My son running around the Japanese Garden at the Brisbane Botanic Gardens. He was non stop like an Energizer Bunny and in total awe of everything around him. I love this photo. To me it epitomises the freedom and innocence of childhood. Taken on my brand new Sony Ericsson W995 mobile phone with a Sony Cyber-shot 8.1 MP camera. It was set to auto but there’s a fair few functions that I’m yet to experiment with. Untouched except for some cropping to add a little structure, though I like the original for it’s greater sense of space and freedom. It’s hard to set up a scene with an 18 month old running around!.

Some more digital doodling while the Carols were on the TV on Christmas Eve! This image, and a personal loss, brought Wordsworth’s poem to mind … SURPRISED BY JOY / Surprised by joy -impatient as the wind / I turned to share the transport – Oh! with whom / But Thee, deep buried in the silent tomb, / That spot which no vicissitude can find? / Love, faithful love, recalled thee to my mind – / But how could I forget thee? Through what power, / Even for the least division of an hour, / Have I been so beguiled as to be blind / To my most grievous loss? – That thought’s return / Was the worst pang that sorrow ever bore / Save one, one only, when I stood forlorn, / Knowing my heart’s best treasure was no more; / That neither present time, nor years unborn, / Could to my sight that heavenly face restore. / (Copyright and year unknown) Background – my photo, taken at Mt Wilson in the Blue Mountains, Autumn 2009 with Sony R1 / Model courtesy Magikstock / Brushes and layers used for other effects.
