We all have artists on our watchlist that we think are wonderful, but who may not get the recognition they deserve or their work just gets passed by in the influx of daily work here on Redbubble. I would like to form a journal entry here that serves the purpose of bringing awareness and traffic to these underappreciated artists, so my proposal is that anyone who wished to come into this journal and post 1 or 2 links to artists on their watchlists whom they absolutely adore. This idea was originally begun by JULIE LANGFORD so please be sure to visit her journal HERE too for more amazing work! Also feel free to link to their images as well, and try not to repeat the same artists as have already been mentioned and promoted. This way we can get the word out about so many of these tremendous hidden talents here at Redbubble. I have two artists I would now like to introduce to you that I have on my watchlist: David Linkenauger and Shelley Spillenaar David is one of my fellow home state photographers and takes really nice waterscape images, and Shelley in my mmind has a wonderful eye and a keen sense of capturing the right moment with animals. Please go take a look at the wonderful work of these two artists, and if you like what you see be sure to tell them so and maybe even add them to your watchlist! Also, be sure to scan your own watchlist for someone who you think deserves more attention than they are currently getting in the world of Redbubble! Let’s make this a huge success!

Shelley Beach is another of Portsea’s wonderful stretches of bayside coast. This beach, as with others near by, hosts several interesting jetties and beach houses. I really love this photo for it’s layering of colours – the effect in the sky is called ‘Neptune’s Rings’ and is a rare atmospheric phenomenon. When there is a certain amount of particles in the atmosphere (perhaps as a result of bushfires), the spectrum of light is separated in to more prominent and distinct bands of colour than would normally be seen. This effect, combined with the colours of the plantlife make the scene so interesting.

Portrait of Mary Shelley - Caught Between the Moon and Candlelight (1797 - 1851)
by Barbara SparhawkUS$4.99–US$133.00
Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin Shelley, Writer, Poet, Shooting Star. Oil on canvas. / The author (at 18 years old) of FRANKENSTEIN. A woman of such profound personal courage, of stunning highs and lows, it boggles the imagination. Mary, I adore you. / A rebel who dodged convention, whose parents were famous free-thinker free love radicals, whose mother died giving birth to her, who was sent to Scotland at 15 for a good education, and who ran off to live with two of the most famous, revered, dangerous, and notorious wild-men poets (when poets ruled) Percy Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron. It had to be like setting up housekeeping with Mick Jagger & Lou Reed. / Ostracized for romping through English tradition, she and Percy Shelley eloped to France, then moved into a castle on Lake Geneva with Lord Byron, proceded to practice Latin & Greek, write, live, and outdo each other. The very good looking bad boys were notorious for debts, affairs, abandoned children, sexually extravagant lives, and a trail of broken hearts. But they wrote gorgeously. Percy Shelley & Lord Byron remain two of the finest poets of the English language. / In what she called “a waking dream” teenaged Mary Shelley started to write Frankenstein, and published it finally under her own name, producing one more shock that an English woman could conjure stirring horror. She and Shelley traveled, changed countries like you’d change socks & became increasingly famous. Mary was pregnant many times, but six children miscarried, or heartbreakingly lived, to die as toddlers. One boy survived adulthood. She was in and out of depressions, trying to keep Shelley happy and produce her own original work. In rough Italian seas near LaSpezia, the accomplished sailor and non-swimmer Percy Shelley drowned. He was 29. Mary was 25, and felt her life ended. The extremes of drama that populated all their days astonishes. Lord Byron and a friend made a pyre on the beach to burn Percy Shelley’s corpse when it washed ashore. One of the two cut out Shelley’s heart (not an uncommon impulse at the time) and after arguing over who should keep it, decided to send it in a box, unannounced, to Mary. / At a time when women had limited rights, freedoms or possibilities, she turned her back on what she was told she must do, with gusto. What is, after all, an ideal life. She risked far more than her peers ever dared. She did not have an easy time of it. But she chose not embrace the comforts or society that would have driven her mad. It’s more than fair to say this woman really lived. Mary Wollestonecraft Godwin Shelley was dead at 53. ABOUT THE PAINTING: There are only 2 or 3 exisitng portraits of Mary Shelley, and one, painted by Richard Rothwell in 1840, was my reference. It is a peculiar painting of her, age 43. When tackling historical figures, one has to account for rigid art standards of the times. I tried to eliminate what might have been purely the painter’s imposition. Along with what I suspect was a purge of her wild history and monster story telling (making her nice, & vapid) he gave her features considered beautiful then: a long oval face, an extraordinarily high brow for heightened inteligence (same things the Greeks did with that full flesh at brow level) thin lips to prove a lack of avarice, matronly to suit her widowhood, and shoulders in such a drastic slope they deny a skeletal structure. (The Rothwell portrait is on Wikipedia under Mary Shelley’s name). All that seemed an exaggeration, his portrait does not look real to me. So I left in her high cheekbones, softened the oval and lowered the forehead a touch, gave her a fuller mouth, kept the deep eyes. I painted Mary Shelley as the 18 year old who wrote Frankenstein, with thoughts of ghoul and goblin fleeting across her eyes, sensing terrors to come, uncertainty in the present, having to rely primarily on herself, an active imagination, great mind and fabulous story teller. / I have her between the moon and candlelight because it seems to me that’s where she lived. / The Hawks Perch

Continuing the parody of that iconic song “There is a Season” by The Byrds. These three Sterna bergii (Crested Terns) were photographed while taking shelter on their rocky perch at Shelley Beach, Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia, on a very grey, very damp winter day. The Terns are Australian a native seabird and very common around the Port Macquarie beaches and estuaries. I found that I could get to within fifteen to twenty feet (5-7m) from these seabirds before they became twitchy and that by leaning against a large rock I was quite able to hold the camera firmly enough for the relatively slow shutter speed required for the exposure. Fuji S5500: f/9 @ 1/38sec, ISO 100, Chrome colour setting. / Lightroom 1.1 & Photoshop CS3 for minimal tweaking. Find out more about Crested Terns , Port Macquarie Beaches if you wish.

I caught this pair of Larus novaehollandiae (Silver Gulls) just after they had a lover’s tiff as I was stalking seabirds among the rocks at Shelley Beach, Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia, on a very grey, damp winter afternoon. I didn’t stick around to see if they were reconciled but I have always hoped they would resolve their differences, make a compromise and live happily ever after in marital bliss. (Ahhh! That’s just the romantic in me). Fuji S5500: High resolution jpg, Chrome colour setting, f/7 @ 1/100sec, ISO 100, hand held. / Lightroom 1.1 & Photoshop CS3 for the most minimal of tweaking.

The Fountain mingle with the river, / And the rivers with the ocean; / The winds of heaven mis for ever / With a sweet emotion; / Nothing in the world is single; / All things, by a law divine, / In one another’s being mingle - / Why not I with thine?
