Can nothing be an important concept in itself? This poem pays homage to the invention of zero as a number, in the form of a rhyming riddle. And (foolishly for my sanity) I decided to add the constraint that the first letter of each line would spell out the alphabet. (Check out the text version here )
An ode to Miro is a study of just one element of a painting of Joan Miro’s. This is the first in a series of illustrations that I did based on Joan Miro’s works.
It’s gone from light to gray / But I’ll move those clouds away / Letting the sun shine through / In this ode to you / Let the demons have their place / If so it’s angels you’ll create / And disguised within the dark / Light will wait / My heart I owe you my soul Dredg – Ode to the Sun

Jeffery Smart is a fantastic AUSTRALIAN Artist. His work often displays the things found in the everyday, roads, buildings, containers. / This is a collection of Aviation Gas Drums lined up and stacked up, along the side of a shed in Whitecliffs. / The time was just after sunrise, a bit cool but great light up at the top of the dug out hotel we were staying at. I found some great objects, old cars, broken glass, rocks and of course the sunrise over the landscape of outback Australia. / / / Over 1000 views!!! Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments! /

Ode to serenity : (water colour on paper, 21×29” $500) The archetypal womanhood as conceiver and giver of life is presented in its completeness. The peace completeness and tranquility inherent in the creativity and nurturing quality of womanhood pervades the mood of the painting.
My last minute entry into the T-Shirt Revolution challenge – but just missed out because my internet was too slow! / /
As I was looking at this photo, I began to think about the trust a baby has in it’s parents. Oscar here trusts because he does not yet know the possibilities of what could happen. All he knows is that it is a a great place to sleep. He trusts because he has to trust. This is the way God is wants us to trust him. He wants us to babes in His hands. After all, “he has the whole world in his hands”. My son’s hands look strong and capable, however, I cannot see the Lords hands. So like this babe, I have to just assume that His hands are too. There is one big difference. The lord promises us that he will “Never leave or forsake us.” Man cannot say the same, because even if my son wanted to never leave or forsake his son, there may come a time when he might have to. My hope for my life is that I will trust the Lord the way Oscar trusts his daddy. Simply with blind faith, to believe that I can trust that I can.. /

There are so many tips’n’tricks, tutorials, enhancements and various other interesting articles listed around Redbubble. I’ve decided it is time to revitalise the articles I have written. / Why? Because so many writers are long-winded, overly-descriptive and their instructions are near impossible to navigate.

Another image from my ‘green room’ series, shot at ABM. This time I elected to concentrate on light and composition instead of colour. It would have been so easy to crank up the red on the ‘Ladder Safety’ poster… but I like the darker B&W mood here rather more. At full magnification it is still possible to read every word of the ‘Ode to Roger’ pinned on the noticeboard.
Oil Painting…I painted this quite a few years ago (maybe 1995-1996). It is based on a detail from a famous painting but unfortunately I cannot remember what the name of the painting was or who the original artist was. My version of this painting was painted on 16”x12” canvas board. I’ve decided to name it ‘Ode to an Urn’ as it reminds me of my favourite poem. Ode on a Grecian Urn by John Keats / I also love one of his other ‘Odes’ Ode to a Nightingale ...if I could only find myself a nightingale. LOL!

Featured in the group ImageWriting in March 2009 As I was walking back along the country trail from the Chicaque Park to catch a bus, I was startled to hear a familiar bird song. But it took a few minutes to register in my mind that it was a Meadowlark!! Nah…there are no meadowlarks in Colombia! They live in North America (in my mind). But as as I looked at the posts along the road, there he was and just singing his heart out! Sorry guys, I think spring is still a little ways off!! He’s still here…patiently waiting for the time to leave for the North Country again!! Let me know folks when he arrives!! Of the two (Western Meadowlark and Eastern Meadowlark), the Eastern Meadowlark is the only one to migrate this far south – to northern South America…hence this one is an Eastern Meadowlark. Although they are vertually indistinguishable by their physical features, their call is very distinct!! / If you want to listen to him check him out here

FIRST PLACE IN A CHALLENGE: Canon vs Nikon / FEATURED IN THE GROUP: Freedom to Shine / FEATURED IN THE GROUP: Nostalgic Art and Photography Entry to the challenge in Canon vs Nikon / “What we want you to do is find an image that really, really inspires you, perhaps that image that really got you into photography, and then we want you to do your own response to it. Recreate it? Do one that could be part of the series? You can do what you like but it must be your own response.” / Camera: Canon 400D / Lens: Canon 28 – 135 mm First off all I would like to thank Alf Caruana for giving me permission to use his awesome work as my inspirations.

Ode to a Mannequin Oh how I wish I could be alive like you. / I wish I could love, laugh, and cry like you. / I wish I could run, walk, and sit like you. / But my life is dreary as I just watch people walk by. / And stare at the clothes that I wear and the hats up on my head, as I try to be something I’m really not. / But wait! As I look into your eyes and your life, we’re not as different; you’re just a mannequin just like me, because we’re both trying to be something we’re not. / Larry Fridel Best viewed large Used PaintShop Pro 8, Painter X, and Photoshop CS Image copyright © 2009, Larry Fridel.

Digital Fine Art in oil painting style, by Maria Szollosi aka MARISKA September / 2009. COLLABORATE ARTWORK Please view large. This image was inspired by the very talented artist ANAISNAIS poem ’’Ode to a rose”’’. / Thank you dear Anna-Marie to let me share your wonderful poem here.:0)) xoxox ODE TO A ROSE ON SUNSET / by Anaisnais A kiss from a rose on a sunset night, / As the clouds dip into the sea. / A kiss from that rose as the waves fall, / Over the beach to a rose kissed me. A kiss from a rose on a sunset night, / As we wrap into lovers embrace. / A kiss from that rose as homeward we go, / To a bed clothed in satin and lace. A kiss from a rose on a sunset night, / With passion and warmth do we grasp. / A kiss from that rose that blossoms and blooms, / My hand in her labour pain clasp. A kiss from a rose on a sunset night, / That wanton and curvy young bride. / A kiss from that rose that huddles our babe, / So loving, in motherly pride. A kiss from a rose on a sunset night, / Without whom I’d not shared my life. / A kiss from that rose who selflessly filled, / The place of my darling rose wife! anaisnais© More illustrations of this work : All Origional art work can be purchased through the artist. —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-——- Copyright notice: / All rights reserved.

As the first sign in the zodiac, and corresponding with the first day of spring, the Aries individual is a mover and shaker, fearlessly forging ahead or “springing forth” into new territory. The Aries personality is always a force to be reckoned with. These are curious and energetic individuals, always delving into new areas, but often quickly becoming bored and moving on, leaving unfinished projects in their wake. Arians are forthcoming and direct. They don’t generally have hidden agendas or ulterior motives. If they find an area in which they are interested for a long period, they can become accomplished, well-known, and wealthy. / From Mysticalblaze / MCN/C4YKS_KEQGL_N7R4L This is the seventh im my Zodiac Series.
