i am donating my most popular images in my portfolio to the phoenix appeal who redirect all artist profits from sales to the victorian bushfire relief fund through the australian red cross. red bubble will match dollar for dollar contributions made this way. along with cash donations, contributing my art is the very least i can do in my capacity to help people who have lost everything we know about what it is to be human and to live and love and laugh. how ‘bout you as an artist in your own right? what can you and your art give to help? whatever it is, however you can… please give generously. Toward evening they came to a great forest, where the trees grew so big and close together that their branches met over the road of yellow brick. It was almost dark under the trees, for the branches shut out the daylight; but the travelers did not stop, and went on into the forest. “If this road goes in, it must come out,” said the Scarecrow, “and as the Emerald City is at the other end of the road, we must go wherever it leads us.” “Anyone would know that,” said Dorothy. - The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum.

Taken beneath the cliffs at Bundeena, Royal National Park just south of Sydney during a late afternoon storm.
Yes…it’s another random and spontaneous “still life” I chose to shoot while reading. :)
This dried-up tree seemed to be stretching, yearning towards the water-laden heavens, desperate for a quenching rain shower. This photo was taken in North Carolina’s Outer Banks, at Jockeys Ridge Sand Dunes. It’s only a few minutes from where the first flight took off at Wright Memorial Park. Jockeys Ridge is a state park and also the practice location of a hang-gliding school. We saw several gliders on the ground that day, but nobody gliding. The sand was burning-hot and biting on our feet as we explored.
Souls that have toil’d and wrought, and thought with me- / That ever with a frolic welcome took / The thunder and the sunshine, and opposed / Free hearts, free foreheads-you and I are old; / Old age hath yet his honour and his toil; / Death closes all; but something ere the end, / Some work of noble note, may yet be done, / Not unbecoming men that strove with Gods. / The lights begin to twinkle from the rocks: / The long day wanes: the slow moon climbs: the deep / Moans round with many voices. Come, my friends, / ‘Tis not too late to seek a newer world…....... Words by Lord Alfred Tennyson Music – Dreamcatcher Painting using acrylic, inks, pigment and graphite.
I’m not a “huggy” person, in person…cyberhugs are easier for me. No one in my family was “huggy”.... I could use a hug today. Trying new technique: painting along with photomanipulation; Photoshop Elements 3. /

As a teacher , seeing this boy peeking through the window into the classroom in Vietnam quite broke my heart. Sadly getting enough food for the family and harvesting the rice can be a much higher priority for some families than their children’s education. And who can blame them for that …
i have to say, i love this photo. I love the dirty wall in the background, the innocence, yet there seems to be a longing in the expression, almost a fear to expect… i like it!

To touch this blooming dream. / All the echoes of yearning, / of our days spent silent. / And of our heart’s light, / pulsing in such an unwavering ache. Shannon Donovan / April 30, 2009 / SP

I was in the living room of a dear friend. This book was open to this page with the old-fashioned clock on the cover. I then…briefly laid my glass of wine atop of the page to show that “Time Is Of The Essence” in this randomly thought up ‘still life’ moment.
