Ares
by Ivy IzzardἌρης, exceeding in strength, chariot-rider, golden-helmed, doughty in heart, shield-bearer, Saviour of cities, harnessed in bronze, strong of arm, unwearying, mighty with the spear, O defence of Olympus, father of warlike Victory, ally of Themis, stern governor of the rebellious, leader of righteous men, sceptred King of manliness, who whirl your fiery sphere among the planets in their sevenfold courses through the aether wherein your blazing steeds ever bear you above the third firmament of heaven; hear me, helper of men, giver of dauntless youth! Shed down a kindly ray from above upon my life, and strength of war, that I may be able to drive away bitter cowardice from my head and crush down the deceitful impulses of my soul. Restrain also the keen fury of my heart which provokes me to tread the ways of blood-curdling strife. Rather, O blessed one, give you me boldness to abide within the harmless laws of peace, avoiding strife and hatred and the violent fiends of death. / Homeric Hymn to Ares 8.1–20 More Olympians / / / /

The tale of the meeting. The meeting once a year when his spirit returns for a visit. As night gives way to dawn, a desperate attempt is made to shield the light. more stories here

Dedicated to the original ‘Freedom Machine’, awesomely popular yet still much maligned by slaves to the internal combustion.

Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Holy Bible Ephesians 6:11 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. ~Holy Bible 1 Thessalonians 5:8 Wherefore, lift up your hearts and rejoice, and gird up your loins, and take upon you my whole armor, that ye may be able to withstand the evil day, having done all, that ye may be able to stand. Stand, therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, having on the breastplate of righteousness, and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace, which I have sent mine angels to commit unto you; Taking the shield of faith wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked; And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of my Spirit, which I will pour out upon you, and my word which I reveal unto you, and be agreed as touching all things whatsoever ye ask of me, and be faithful until I come, and ye shall be caught up, that where I am ye shall be also.

The tall ships sometimes visit the River Tyne and here is a drawing of them leaving. I did this back in 1993 using Rotring Isograph pens and it took about ten hours or so to complete altogether. This has special meaning for me because my great great grandfather, Captain James Jewels, was a sea captain whose ships sailed on this very river in the 19th century.

Beautiful Art and Greeting Cards For Sale ~ Shop securely and view my collection here Haleakala Crater is a large erosional valley at the summit of Haleakala volcano, East Maui. It formed after the rimrock lava flows were erupted around the top of the volcano about 145,000 years ago, give or take about 10,000 years. Cinder Cones are small volcanoes within the crater composed of cinder and ash ejected during the volcanic eruption. Several volcanic eruptions blew the top off the cinder cones. Pu’u ‘o Maui is the crater’s largest Cinder Cone. You may also see Ka Moa ‘o Pele, Halali’i, Pu’u ‘o Pele, Pu’u Mamane Cinder Cones. Gazing into the mouth of the volcano. Imagine many of the cinder cones and spouts you are seeing are over 600 feet high. Haleakala is sleeping, dormant in perceived inactivity since 1792 when the last recorded volcanic eruption flowed over Makena and Ahihi Kinau. This photograph is taken as I am standing at the summit at 10,023 feet above sea level gazing into the crater. You may notice the tiny roads used by scientists to study the protected region within the volcano. Haleakala is a shield volcano. Built up from the ocean floor by countless eruptions, it was once a mountain that rose several thousand feet higher than today’s elevation. Haleakala dominates the east side of the Valley Isle and is sacred to the Hawaiian people. The mountain’s face is a mighty wall looming over the valley. Haleakala’s width spans 20 miles, ocean-to-ocean “Jelal-ud-Din Rumi has said centuries ago, that before man fire, water, earth, air, are objects; before God they are living beings that work at His command. The meaning of what Rumi has said is that all objects, all places are as gramaphone records: what is put into them they speak; either your soul hears it or your mind, according to your development.” by the Sufi Master, Hazrat Inayat Khan Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / Aperature 13 Shutter Speed 1/400 ISO 400

This is an older creation but i never got to upload it.. and still everytime i look at it myself i like the energy of this painting.. / thought it was about time i shared it with you .. hope you like it .. Drums of thunder Featured in; EncausticNow My dear friend Butch pointed me out that this looked like a kokopelli abstraction so for all of you who want to know about Kokopelli; / Who Was Kokopelli? / Known as a fertility god, prankster, healer and story teller, Kokopelli has been a source of wonder throughout the country for centuries. Kokopelli embodies the true American Southwest, and dates back over 3,000 years ago, when the first petroglyphs were carved. Although his true origins are unknown, this traveling, flute-playing Casanova is a sacred figure to many Southwestern Native Americans. Carvings of this hunch-backed flute-playing figure have been found painted and carved into rock walls and boulders throughout the Southwest. There are many myths of the famous Kokopelli. One of which is that he traveled from village to village bringing the changing of winter to spring; melting the snow and bringing about rain for a successful harvest. It is also said that the hunch on his back depicted the sacks of seeds and songs he carried. Legend also has it that the flute playing also symbolized the transition of winter to spring. Kokopelli’s flute is said to be heard in the spring’s breeze, while bringing warmth. It is also said that he was the source of human conception. Legend has it, everyone in the village would sing and dance throughout the night when they heard Kokopelli play his flute. The next morning, every maiden in the village would be with child. / Whatever the true meaning of Kokopelli is, he has been a source of music making and dancing, and spreading joy to those around him. Even today, Kokopelli, with his hunchback and flute, is always welcome in our homes. The legend of Kokopelli (pronounced “Coke-a-pellie”) is well-preserved in ancient rock carvings and paintings dating back as far as 3,000 years. His legend however, is no less popular today – having survived more than one hundred generations. Below, is a compilation of stories collected through many hours of research. Certainly, you can find more stories (and images in Art) on the World wide web. Kokopelli, distinguished by his hunch-back, dancing pose, and flute, is the only anthropomorphic petroglyph to have a name, an identity, and an established gender. His name may have been derived from the Zuni name for god (“Koko”) and the Indian name for the Desert Robber Fly (“pelli”). His association with the Desert Robber Fly may stem from the fact that this insect too, has a hump on his back and a prominent proboscis. But, Kokopelli is known by other names, as well. To the Hopi, he is known as “Kokopilau” – meaning “wood hump”. To others, he is known as Kokopele, Kokopetiyot, and Olowlowishkya. He also bears a nickname – “Casanova of the Cliff Dwellers”, a tribute to his image and legend. Kokopelli’s lesser known female counterpart is known as “Kokopelli Mana”. Kokopelli is a prehistoric deity depicted frequently in ancient rock art, estimated to be over a thousand years old. Found throughout the mountains, deserts, and high plains of the southwestern United States. Frequently shown as a hump-backed flute player, this mythic being has survived in recognizable form from Anasazi times to the present. There is an appealing and timeless quality about Kokopelli which fascinates everyone, even in our modern technological age.

Taken on the Sandhaven beach at South Shields, we were walking back along the harbour wall when we saw this classic view, the single child laughing with sheer delight and chasing the seagulls into the air. Converted into tinplate to gave that timeless air of childhood pleasures, while remembering this once was a main job of a young child on the farms before childhood was invented. / / Best viewed large

My great friend Jo wandering along the surf at Sandhaven Beach in South Shields. This is a complete change to a week or so before when she was part of a crew on a sailing ship out in a force ten storm, which she enjoyed lol.

This is a view of the Lees, a headland between Sandhaven Beach and Marsden Bay in South Shields. With the light changing every second on the sea and beach, it was a changing and yet unchanging scene of the shore. Converted into a pinhole style black and white

Like some watch tower of ancient times, this stack in Marsden Bay in South Shields, Tyne and Wear, just caught a fast moving spot light of the sun through the clouds. The broken rock and pebbles on the shore seemed to be mirrored by the clouds as they raced over. Converted into pinhole black and white to highlight the almost prehistoric feel to this bit of coast line Best viewed large.

The view looking back along the coast of South Shields, starting with Marsden Bay and it’s stacks, past the Lees, into Sandhaven Beach and finally the estuary and harbour walls of Tynemouth with their lighthouses. This shot was the last on a wonderful day along this section of the coast and seemed to sum up all of the features and the clouds. Converted into pinhole black and white Best viewed large
