I wanted to create mood here. Let the imagination run wild. One of two.

A lil something I am playing around with at the moment… A photo of a screen and over-layed with another photo taken from a screen… Any feedback is welcome =D Inspiration for this and previous image are directly from the wonderful Juilee Pryor If you do not know her, do yourself a favour and get to know her work, you will not regret it! This series is what got me started…

RedBubble calendars are printed on an HP Indigo 5000 (for those who haven’t heard, this is the digital press). Each page is a matte coated print on 170gsm pages. The cover shows your choice of image on heavier 300gsm paper. Your calendars have a hanger and white wire binding. RedBubble calendars are satin-coated prints on high quality art paper. They’re A3 size (that’s 297×420mm, or 11.69×16.54”) You can also receive from me a Free An Addendum Wall Hanging to go up next to your Calendar which includes inspirational thinking for each month and why i chose each piece of art – i will send you the file via your email, or you can have it printed up here at red bubble, i suggest getting the largest size you can so you can see the printing easily / Addendum Wall Poster for Inspired Calendar For the last few days, I’ve had this feeling that I have something more to say….strange, i was wanting to write something in the form of a poem, but I just can’t put my finger on it….and then I realised I just have so much to say already there, but i’d forgotten to express it…..really the inspired paintings i’ve created say everything about me, about what i believe in, and about what i hope to share with the world. Yesterday, as a spur of the moment thing, i decided to see whether i actually had enough inpsired works to create a calendar that would really speak to the heart and the soul…something of meaning…..something about the journey of life Hence the Inspired Calendar was born and uploaded to red bubble yesterday A collection of my deep and meaningful mixed media paintings…. to read more about the inspiration for each one, please read the description/explanation or click on the linkety links below to see the art more closely / Jan Pilgrimage / I began the calendar with this one, because it represents the Journey of Life, and here it can represent for you the beginning of a new year, a chance to start over and begin anew, leaving behind the old things and beginning a brand new journey, it is a good time to think about your goals for the coming year and write them down / Feb Seasons / This one comes next as a reminder that for everything, there is a season, a time to live, a time to die, a time to laugh, a time to sing….and the list goes on and on, you will probably experience most of these things throughout the year, this painting is a reminder that these things come and go, as do the seasons, to help you find strength and resilience to cope…if we know our troubled times don’t last forever we can cope with them better, knowing they are finite, and if we know the good times don’t last forever, we will enjoy them more for every moment they are with us / Mar Hidden Treasure / To remind us to look deeper and go further than just our initial response to a person’s presentation… people are far more complex and interesting once you get to know all the different facets of their nature, to remind us not to be quick to judge, ponder a person a little longer….we can be quick to judge and pidgeon hold people with little regard to how complex life is, and most people are really trying hard to be the best they can…try a little kindness…look for the hidden treasure in everyone / Apr Heart of Gold / We are all searching for people with a heart of gold, people who will be true and trustworthy…they exist, don’t give up and become cynical about life too early, you might be surprised if you keep your eyes peeled, that there is still some good in this world (also heavily inspired by the novel “Sylvia” by Bryce Courtney) / May Flying Machine / A semi self portrait to remind us, that all things are achievable, even things we sometimes never considered before, to remain open to suggestion from others, don’t put up all your walls at once and refuse to listen, be open…listen to advice, use what you can and throw the rest away…don’t allow critisicm to blind you to what good might be hidden within what people are suggesting, but do not hold onto it so that you bash yourself up and become embittered by it…sometimes people have unclear motives and you are best not to pay to much attention to their choice of words..and what they have spoken over you can be a spell that heightens your own dislike of yourself… we are ourselves our own harshest critics in general…so be kind to yourself / Jun Midnight Blues another semi self portrait, but not of my face, this is my soul…the soul/spirit….this is on a blue day, a day when i think large thoughts and ponder the universe…a reminder of the times when sometimes we need a quiet place and a little music to space out for a while under the stars and moon and gain a little perspective on things…..go and live in another place in your mind’s eye for a little while, i often transport myself to the beach and lie on my towel on the sand, absorbing the suns rays, and feel a trillion zillion times better after that…....or i deliver myself to a deserted island where sky meets water in an endless aqua haze, a soft breeze kissing my cheek and hugging my skin, and the rustle of palm leaves comforts me as does the smell of the salty sea and fallen ripening coconuts rotting in the sand…i hear the water as it gently laps the sand, and my heart is made calm / Jul Polly’s Pearls / This one represents the search in life for the greatest treasure of all, the pearl of great price, that thing that we’ll give up everything else for….the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, the hopes and dreams that we strive for, and it shows the intensity with which we need to look for it and strive….this is the journey….sometimes fraught with danger, but an important journey nontheless, the struggle against complacency / Aug Titian Blonde / This is like a dreamscape of desire for me, the desire to be free of my shackles and chains… if one wishes to stand on a mountain in the middle of darkness under a starry night, and contemplate flying across the sea with the wind blowing their hair, then why shouldn’t that be a possiblity….come fly with me, across the ocean deep, where troubles dissipate beneath your feet…. / Sep Still Waters / to remind us to rest and take it easy…sometimes the waters are still and calm, and we feel a sense of lostness less the business and buffeting of the waves we normally find some resistance in, a reminder to let go, and just ‘be’, a reminder to simply enjoy the silence and stillness / Oct iliki Spirit of Aloha / a reminder to embody the spirit of aloha, to display aloha to others and throughout your life “Akahai,” meaning kindness, / to be expressed with tenderness; “Lokahi,” meaning unity, / to be expressed with harmony; “Oluolu,” meaning agreeable, / to be expressed with pleasantness; “Haahaa,” meaning humility, / to be expressed with modesty; “Ahonui,” meaning patience, / to be expressed with perseverance. These are traits of character that express the charm, warmth and sincerity of Hawaii’s people. It was the working philosophy of Native Hawaiians and was presented as a gift to the people of Hawaii. “Aloha” is more than a word of greeting or farewell or a salutation. “Aloha” means mutual regard and affection and extends warmth in caring with no obligation in return. “Aloha” is the essence of relationships in which each person is important to every other person for collective existence. “Aloha” means to hear what is not said, to see what cannot be seen and to know the unknowable. Iliki was also heavily inspired by the novel “Hawaii” by James Michener / Nov Thoughts Become Things / A reminder that Thoughts do become Things, so take time to ponder your thoughts and where they may lead, don’t spend too much time rushing about, sit and be still for a time, allow your mind to fill with new ideas and ways to achieve them, keep up your creative spirit…enchant me, enchant others…bring life to old things…bring joy to others / Dec Cross Your Heart / Remember others, be otherly…but remember to take care of your own heart first, so that it is well and whole and healthy….strive for goodness and kindness and loveliness…our world is troubled, hasn’t it always been though….but through this be a light and a beacon to others, for what other reason is there than this…. take care of you, so that you can share your wellness, creativity, love for life and encouragement with others… and goodness and kindness will follow….like karma….and even when it doesn’t seem to, remember always, that you have deposited some good…and this is enough :) Other Christmas cards and art by Karin /

You know, the wonderful thing about still life is that the subject is still ....a very big plus after spending so much time trying to get macro shots of flowers that blow willy nilly in the slightest breeze and create a memory card full of out of focus shots. The other thing that I’m loving is the way the subject doesn’t mind all the fiddling ….being arranged and re-arranged…although I do think I heard a bit of a squeak from these onions and potatoes. They may have been on the verge of going on strike after all the manhandling. :-D HollyCawfieldPhotography

YOU FILL ME UP You fill me up when I am empty, / Like no one else has done; / Pour warmth into my spirit, / Like rays from summer sun. You’ve placed a seed within me, / That has grown into a vine; / Of sheer unbridled passion, / Tendrils curled and intertwined. You fill me up when I am empty, / Like an overflowing cup; / No one else has ever filled me so, / Yet my Love, you fill me up. Allison Chambers Coxsey

Andrianna is always willing to Peacefully share her/their ‘pearls’... / but will we wear them Lovingly?.... from the poised periphery, We describe the ‘Center’.... {blah, blah, blah…} The ‘point’, or more accurately, the human concept of the point, is the basis of all forms of existence that that can be imagined…however, there is actually no existence to a point (basic geometry), as a point has no physical size, and is infinitely small…it can actually only be implied, described relative to the periphery, i.e., a circle (itself made of an infinite number of points…); actually, more accurately, a sphere (a circle with an additional dimension);...there is no existence of ‘size’, only relativity… i.e. all that humans conceive of does not exist as imagined…there is so much more… / The point is the infinite ‘masculine’ energy in primary manifestation…(the Monopole, ‘1’...) / The ‘circle’ and by extension, the ‘sphere’ are, together, the infinite ‘feminine’ energy in primary manifestation…(the Dipole expression; ‘2’...this is not 1+1; it Is 1/2 of 2 + 1/2 of 2, an essential difference of concept) / There can be no form of manifestation in these dimensions without both existing simultaneously, and equally energetically… / Humans’ basic miss-take is believing that this is a bi-polar dimension; it is actually composed of tri-polar energy states… / this is essentially why humans-in-mass tend to misunderstand the most elemental basics of all they interact with… / Humans exist not to understand the “complex”, but merely to conceive of the perfect nature of co-operation of the elements of the Tripole…humans have chosen to re-discover this absolute simplicity by the learning tool of conflict... an unfortunate, and wasteful statement of what is lacking in understanding, not that which is Life… no being is born into matter without the ability to access that which is necessary to resolve that illusion of ‘conflict’... / Desire was the cause of that miss-interpretation of Life energy, and as such, Desire is the catalyst to re-center your energies of Being… It Is Total Simplicity. As fractals show, ‘complexity’ is merely the orderly re-iteration of the simple, creating the illusion of apparent ‘infinite’ complexity; and yet a higher form of simplicity (Beauty) appears, to nourish internal stillness, Peace…The ego contains codes to unlocking Peace, but must be utilized for other than mere ‘self-observation’ and comparison… / Love is not merely a ‘nice’ concept to be gazed upon by the ego of Man…Love is the Primary Energy that enables all other energies to manifest, to ‘Be’... It Is the ‘Universal Solvent’ and Nourishment of all Life, in all dimensions… It Is the only, and total essence of Peace… all forms of Being exist exclusively to demonstrate and expand upon that Universal Love-in-Being…Love creates new Love, and new Being… / What you call ‘God’, we might term ‘the One’ {the infinite point of being-in-All, unseen, yet everything…} “without Peace, there is nothing…without Love, there is no Peace…” Find that stillness…live that Love…1+2=’We”... We are One… {get the point?} ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Howdy! / This is the strangest fractal I have come across in the 20yrs. I have been generating them…this is the only one that actually gets MORE pixelated the longer it is rendered (no, the parameters are not corrupted)... / here is a closeup of a 1000×1200pixel area…the first is after about 6hrs. of render… / / this second is the same area, at about 42hrs. of rendering… / / I rendered this piece many times, with many variations, reset the parameters , and used different copies and versions of the program (Incendia), and on different computers…all with the same results…an attention getter to me!!! / The large image posted is after 42hrs. render…chosen because of a compromise between form, and developing coloration… / Also because it is an evolving demonstration {frozen in ‘time’} from outside, the way the, as some term it, ‘spirit guide’ thing goes…We are all One form, with evolving manifestation that can be tapped into at various stages of the translation process, but usually without the need for the graphics, words, and labels to demonstrate evolving translation…there is usually an inefficiency and distraction to the observing ‘ego’ if too much emphasis is placed on labels (‘names’)...in pure energy states beings are known, not ‘labeled’. The ‘Heart’ needs no introductions….

Fractal design created with Incendia. I used Photoshop to design the background and the pearls. Designer: Thea Walstra / /
This kitty is very like my own cat Sam (Samsara). I love the tawny, tobacco earth tones of tabbies aswell as their stripes and ring-like markings. / I bought a $1 string of pearls from the opportunity store to use as a still life prop for the pearls, to copy from. / This is the last of six small canvases I am sending into a ‘Small Packages’ exhibition. The exhibition is being held by the NZ Art Guild in November at the Bruce Mason Centre in Takapuna, Auckland, New Zealand All canvases are the same size: 10×10 inch. / Acrylic on canvas.
A shot of a big ice stick after a time in the freezer,place under cold water …it cracked up!!! I wanted to keep it for more shots,you can imagine what happened after I poured out water on it to get rid of the frost…so I tried different angles and put it over different things in the house with that result.Half white and half red…I created the heart with photoshop but the rest of the pic is untouched…just for fun…I’ve made a duo out of it called…”Pearl” / / / /
