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

Looking south to Wollongong from Garie Cliffs in Royal National Park. Royal lies sandwiched between Wollongong and Sydney. Because of the light from both cities this shot of the Milky Way has but a fraction of the actual stars visible and less than 1% of this would be visible within the cities. / Makes for a pretty picture but where does wonder go when the light blocks out the stars? The night sky is the only time we ever get to see the infinite. What happens to us when we lose that? / Tv 30s / Av f3.5 / ISO 3200 / FL 10mm

Featured in Halloween and Inspired Art groups This image goes along with the poem Something Wicked by autumnwind as part of a collaboration for the Halloween Art & Writing Challenge in the Halloween Group * “Something Wicked” / The wondrous age of twelve years old / Holds stories yet have not been told / Of places chanced upon in fright / Where evil lurked with all its might / By name the Reservoir so called / A magnet dark, hung low and crawled / Its venom veiled and so enticed / For those who dared upon it thrice That summer’s eve I shan’t forget / As now recalled with deep regret / For death arose, its shape unfurled / And offered up it’s Godless world / Trembling so, yet held bewitched / The wind encircled and transfixed / Design of malice so precise / For those who dared upon it thrice This foulest dread did not offend / Enraptured rather to the end / In blackest beauty lust transcends / And so devoured my dearest friend / Whatever broke thy devils trance / I offer up to heaven’s chance / As wicked waged its dire device / For those who dared upon it thrice In nightmares beauty changes form / Of deadly charms I do thee warn / Seducing madness paid its price / For those who dared upon it thrice* Acrylic on 9×12 canvas board- Inspired by the song ‘A Beautiful Lie’ by 30 Seconds to Mars. I was watching the music video for “A Beautiful Lie” by 30 Seconds to Mars, and was really touched by the intro with the Eskimos. (If you haven’t seen this, here’s the link! A Beautiful Lie Video ) The band is really breaking grounds by putting this environmental awareness stuff out there. (It can make or break your career in the music biz) I also thought that the director/photographer for the video was a genious! It’s such a captivating and stunning video, the shots of the scenery is amazing! So….I downloaded the CD. (It’s one of my faves right now….GREAT music!) Without the video to distract, I listened to the song with my eyes closed, as I knew this one would work for my next painting. (This is kinda part of my process right now. LOL) The little electric sounds at the beginning and end of the song made me feel like I was either falling into space or just into the dark oblivion. Empty, alone, fragile…..that’s where the background came from. IT’s a deep deep blue almost black – I added the parts that kind of spin out from the inner circle to show that things are spinning out of controll and that you’re spiraling down into the depths of something. Once I had the background done, I went back to listening to the song while the paint dried. This time, I saw that poor poor faerie was the one falling into nothing. This is when I decided to keep everything dark – whites blacks and grays – because I knew there would be an explosion of red. The white and gray leaves came next. I felt like the gray wasn’t the right color, but thought it might look better after adding the trunk and branches. So, I went with a solid black for that. I chose the black to keep with the dark theme, but also because it would really stand out in some parts, yet kind of fade into the background in other areas. (A Beautiful Lie – this is a beautiful tree, but is it really there?) This is when I hated it and wanted to trash it and start over! Instead, I stepped away from it for 2 days – came back refreshed and decided to add in the red & silver. I did the silver to throw in a brighter color to balance the piece a bit, but to also show the etherealness of the faerie. The faerie has fallen and was basically held by the tree. Shes fading into the background and there are spots of her silver body throughout the piece. She’s kind of becoming everything around her. I very much believe in reincarnation and life after death. (Which is also why the pose is almost like the crusifix.) It’s kind of a play on organized religion and what we’ve been told about death in general – It’s all a beautiful lie! :) The red was chosen to symbolize blood. This makes the viewer pose some questions – is it all blood? are those blood splatters or wings? are those blood spots or flowers in the tree? All in all, it’s a play on reality – what’s really there? what isn’t? Is it all just a beautiful lie?! “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 it makes me…” Full lyrics / A Beautiful Lie Video / 30 Seconds to Mars

Have I ever mentioned that I’m ridiculous.
FROM WIKIPEDIA – ORGASM / An orgasm (sexual climax) is the conclusion of the plateau phase of the sexual response cycle, and may be experienced by both males and females. Orgasm is characterized by intense physical pleasure, controlled by the involuntary, or autonomic, nervous system.It is accompanied by quick cycles of muscle contraction in the lower pelvic muscles, which surround the primary sexual organs and the anus. Orgasms are often associated with other involuntary actions, including muscular spasms in other areas of the body, a general euphoric sensation, and frequently, vocalizations.

Grade B pencil on smooth catridge paper This Drawing was inspired by the following song:- The Lady Lies / by Tony Banks The man steps out in the moonlight / At the sound of a scream from below. / He thinks he is a warrior / So he picks op his sword and goes. From the mouth of the monster / He rescues the maiden fair. / But we know she’s a demon / Come to lure him to the demon’s lair. Through restless foliage and tall trees he leads / To a house in a clearing, a place in her fear she calls home. ‘Come with me, I need you, / I fear the dark and I live all alone. / I’ll give you wine and food too / And something special after if you like.’ And though his body bids him / To enter in with her, / There was something in her manner / That his mind could not ignore. For who knows what magic takes place in his world? / So he just thanks her kindly preparing to go on his way. ‘Come with me, I need you, / I fear the dark and I live all alone. / I’ll give you wine and food too / And something special after if you like. Come to my garden, / Taste the fruits and the spices of love. / You can’t resist me, / I’m the kind that your dreams tell you of.’ ‘So glad you could make it / We had everything arranged. / So glad you saw fit to pay a call.’ Some men never listen, / Others never learn, / But why this man did as he did / Only he will ever know. He knew he was walking / Into a wailing trap, / Neatly set up for him / With a bait so richly wrapped. So he went inside there to take on what he found / But he never escaped them, for who can escape what he desires? ‘Come with me, I need you, / I fear the dark and I live all alone. / I’ll give you wine and food too / And something special after if you like.’
