FEATURED! MAY 08 / HOME PAGE! JUNE 08 It’s about living with freedom in a life of restriction…
As it started to rain, I thought to myself, “if he’s sticking around, then so am I.” As the rain drops started piling up on both of us, I managed to capture this pretty scene before the real deluge / began ! (Windsor, CT.)
Just a random one i did a while back.
WILD & FREE / / Polar bear cubs cuddle-up with each other on an ice floe. What a great sight to see! The sea ice is shrinking at an alarming rate, which has a huge impact for the bears as this is their main hunting ground. More and more bears are being found to have drowned while trying to find the ice, even though they can swim up to sixty miles or so! / / I hope the ice does not completely vanish and that they always have somewhere to hut! (Spitsbergen – Scandinavian Arctic) / /
“Praying for Rain” Photography & Artwork / by Holly Kempe © “As the farmer knelt down on the salty sand, / He needed rain to save his land. / The crops were wilting, the cattle all dead, / He looked around, not a word was said. / The ground was dry, where is the rain? / What could stop this worthless pain? / The farmer cursed in sheer despair, / He did not have a drop to spare. / A thundercloud covers the western sky, / A bolt of lightning explodes near by. / The farmer looks up and begins to pray, / Hoping that the rain will come his way. / Then drip-by-drip it starts to fall, / The crystal water like a clear glass wall. / The trees and flowers all in bloom, / Then once again, gone is the gloom. / The water fills the old parched creek, / The rivers bulge as the waters peak. / The mud squelches through the farmer’s dry old / hands, / As he thanks the Lord for saving his land.” / ~ Meg Hayes Year Seven / St Mary’s Primary School Featured in the: Redbubble Homepage – November 08 Recent Sales: 1 x Card – unknown buyer 1 x Card – unknown buyer 1 x 40” x 27” matte canvas through Fine Art America – Jessikalyn – America / Thank you so much to everyone. / Part profits donated to Starlight Childrens Foundation Australia See “Praying for Rain” at my website /

/ / nurture / The act of nourishing or nursing; tender care; education; training; That which nourishes; food; diet; The environmental influences that contribute to the development of an individual; see also nature; to nourish or nurse / en.wiktionary.org/wiki/nurture Media – pencil and photoshop / Substrate – paper I can’t explain this, ‘cept to say, it’s inspired by our connection with nature and the fragility of life itself sometimes, the message coming through is to nurture life by way of fostering goodwill toward one another and accepting we have a duty of care to our natural world also. Because Easter is approaching I thought it appropriate :) The child’s sustenance, or umbilical cord if you like is coming from a tree, symbolic of the healing that nature can bring….the new life and growth that comes with nurture both of spirit and of nature. Humility is understanding our rightful place in the scheme of all things, including nature, family structure and the wider community…... a world where there is tolerance for all, is the one i pray for
A Teardrop in Time I dedicate this to all Native Americans. / This image is so much more than a photograph of a beautiful sunrise…...to me it symbolizes power and strength, and overwhelming evidence of a power so much greater than we could ever imagine…...the teardrop is in memory of all the vast numbers of Native Americans whom were abused and destroyed by others’ ignorance….... My sunrise image was shot on 09/25/08 at 6:49 AM here in Anderson, CA / to it added a glass teardrop in memory of all Native Americans. / / / ___ All The Materials Contained May Not Be Reproduced, Copied, Edited, Published, Transmitted Or Uploaded In Any Way Without My Permission.

The image The Advantages of Schizophrenia has been nominated for the prestigous Pay it Forward Group by Butchart “in one image.. you have covered a range of emotions nearly impossible to achieve together…. and in the process have given us a glimpse of the human condition……. thank you……. this is incredible work roy….. one of my all time favorites of yours……… bravo……….b” / Roy is fairly new to Redbubble… but from the moment i discovered his work i have been in awe of his inpired, unique, honest and elightened imagery. Each one of his images demands both attention and reflection. In Roy’s self portraits he shares with us all the myriad of emotions each one of us experiences within ourselves.”Thanks for stopping by and look into my world for a minute. Thank you so much Butchart :) View large for details. Both persons are myself shot in one take with long exposure. Inspired by King Crimson – 21st Century Schizoid Man Lyrics Cats foot iron claw / Neuro-surgeons scream for more / At paranoias poison door. / Twenty first century schizoid man. Blood rack barbed wire / Polititians funeral pyre / Innocents raped with napalm fire / Twenty first century schizoid man. Death seed blind mans greed / Poets starving children bleed / Nothing hes got he really needs / Twenty first century schizoid man. From a series where I work to express the deepest emotions, both positive and “negative”. Armed with my Nikon D300 and a flashlight. I try to keep the Photoshop-work to a minimum to not loose the ethereal energy the method some times captures. This is my way to healing and selfrealization. If my work can give something to an other human being it is twice worth the effort.

This is obviously not an original idea, and I want to thank both ECGardner and Angelique Brunas for their works along these lines that motivated me to explore my own creativity. I hope they do not mind my using their work as a basis for my inspiration, and I am still working to achieve the balance, beauty, and artistry they have exhibited through their respective nature based collages! I will give folks a while to guess what the various panes are comprised of, they should be pretty easy to figure out, later I will insert the proper descriptions of their contents. As always I can not say often enough how wonderful the Redbubble community is and how happy I am to have found it during it’s infancy so that I may grow along with it into a more complete and accomplished artist! / / / / Portfolio Areas / / Tigers / Wildlife / Macro / Landscape / Birds / Abstracts / Cats~wild and domestic
