Encaustic card, slightly manipulated on pc. / Tool; Iron A dear friend told me about the song Prayer in Open D and how well it would fit to this image.. Prayer in Open D ( Emmylou Harris) There’s a valley of sorrow in my soul / Where every night I hear the thunder roll / Like the sound of a distant gun / Over all the damage I have done / And the shadows filling up this land / Are the ones I built with my own hand / There is no comfort from the cold / Of this valley of sorrow in my soul There’s a river of darkness in my blood / And through every vein I feel the flood / I can find no bridge for me to cross / No way to bring back what is lost / Into the night it soon will sweep / Down where all my grievances I keep / But it won’t wash away the years / Or one single hard and bitter tear And the rock of ages I have known / Is a weariness down in the bone / I use to ride it like a rolling stone / Now i just carry it alone There’s a highway risin’ from my dreams / Deep in the heart I know it gleams / For I have seen it stretching wide / Clear across to the other side / Beyond the river and the flood / And the valley where for so long I’ve stood / With the rock of ages in my bones / Someday I know it will lead me home

Darkness or Light, up or down, hell or heaven? / Or do you believe without darkness no light? Do you believe in one afterlife instead of two different places? Do up and down bring you eventually all to the same place? Enc. A4 / Hotplate. Poem written by Sally Omar There are so many CHOICES / From within are the voices / CHOICES of ascending / Or descending / We have the CHOICES of light / Or the forever darkness of night / We can sin if we need / And forever our hearts bleed / Live a life of goodness and charity / A heart so happy / We can love Him / Or the devil and sin / Then we can tell / Is it Heaven or Hell / The place up above / Songs of a dove / Or darkness and despair / Living in the hole nowhere / Where do you go / Only you know / Choose so much love to give / So much hate to live / Hear the voice / Make the right CHOICE Martin Steinbrugger also wrote a poem after seeing “Choises” / Please check out Martin’s Art Thank you Martin for your beautifull gift! Beyond the Gate Growing in faith is like climbing a set of stairs… / Although the steps maybe steep, / Each step we take, allows us to become more, “faith,” aware. No turning to the left or right, / The choices are really only two… / Take the next step up, or not! / The choice after all, depends on you? Faith can become stagnate by dwelling at a preconceived safe plateau, / Yet, the misperceptions of a temporal mind are but a gate, / Believing only in, self-control. Preconceived obstructions, serve only to test and strengthen our faith… / Sadly those who turn back, / Never enter in or even see the beauty that comes, / When living, “Beyond the Gate.” / “MLS”
Made for a friend of a friend, who likes to smoke ;0) / Please take the time to see this in large.. Original sold.
After interacting with / Sophie Shapiro i decided to upload one of my very first images with beeswax. Those are the ones that are most spontanious. When i got to work more with wax the process started to change, but i still use the flow..
Goes well with the ring i guess lol / A castle in the sky but it made me think of you and your storys about Noorat estate. Don’t know for sure if it ready yet, maybe i will ad some green thingies to it ..

Today we had lots of sunshine.. so i went out for another walk, / the mood is complete different when there’s light added / and i love it when the sun makes the snow sparkle .. / Where i walked there were many of these branches/ twigs.. and i couldn’t help but admire the way the snow gave them a second chance to beauty.. Snow as is … ;-)
