December's full moon

First Day of Winter

Peace

Pearl Harbor

In memory.......

First Guard

I love working with dragons, but they are really hard to pose!

Snow Moon

In some cultures, the November full moon is known as the snow moon.

Autumn Color Wash

First Touch

Tea?

After the Storm

My heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to those who were in the path of the hurricane. I grew up in New Jersey, and my sister tells me there is nothing left of the places we knew. I live here,where you never know if a tornado will strike, so I guess no where is really safe.

Blood Moon

Second in the series... October is called the Blood Moon (taken from English Medieval)

The Babysitter

Just who is watching who????

The Pumpkin Patch

The Hunt

I haven't done dragons for a while, so I decided it was time...I hope you enjoy!

Impressions of Winter Wheat

The farmers are beginning to plant the winter wheat in this area. By June, there will be harvest, and in between, a whole lot waiting and watching the weather.

Harvest Moon

For the past 10 years I have wanted to do a series of images based on assorted cultural names for the full moon.(and posted on the day of the full moon) Here is my first one, the name from an American reference.

Autumn Marbles

Autumn Magic

Happy first day of Autumn!

Water, Water

It's been raining, and all that wet inspired this underwater scene. It's also chilly. I can't remember when the last time it was really cool here. I'm loving it!

Outflow

A little fractal play this week. Apophysis is a freeware fractal program you can Google and download if you want to explore the possibilities!

A Qiet Moment

Foxglove

Swarm

My little contribution to the whole Mayan calendar, end of the world thing.

Waiting for Rain

Gnome

In days of old when knights were bold
And myths weren’t suchly viewed
The gnomes did live among us
They were then in their youth
But times do change and myths they die
Replaced by faith in Truth
Yet somehow here the gnome still lives
Beneath the old tree root
I see those ageless, lonely eyes
And hear the slight despair
His heart must fill with emptiness
To think that no one cares.
So like the ones among us
Who reach out ere softly
Seeking nothing so much more
Than a simple smile - you see.
That gnome he lives in all of us
Who feel the need to seek
A comfort from the world beyond
A simple chance to speak
I greet the gnome within us all
A welcome smile , and sigh
Those ageless eyes, and empty heart
 At one time,  they were mine.

Little Corn Fae

Same corn,different atmosphere, camera angle and lighting....oh and I created the lovely little fae just for this scene. How is the weather where you are?

Corn

It's so hot here. All I could think of was watching the corn in the fields as it turns brown.

The Old Boat House

It's so hot and dry here, I thought I would create a beach scene.

Rain

Glow

The magic of a Summer night.....

Little Dreamer

 Fireflies winking in the dark inspired this one. Go play outside and enjoy the beauty that nature gives us after the sun goes down.

Summer Smiles

 My other strong interest is photography. I hope you enjoy!

Wheat Weaving

 In case you're interested, I created this and the one before in a program called XenoDream.

Harvest

The wheat harvest is in full swing!

Peace

In memory of those who gave their lives in the name of freedom.

To Touch the Moon

Nebula

Song of One

Tidewater scents drift across my mind

On tiny feet they scurry through my thoughts

And race away unseen - just out of reach

Where in this depth do these memories find

Their way to the surface to taunt and tease.

I smell the surf, feel the sand, and long for the past.

Time has no boundaries within a heart

It beats, and calls, and reaches,

Begging to be recognized, longing

To know completeness.

And here within my mind I search

Knowing all the while that I am lost.

One must reach to seek- -touch to know

I cannot…will not…..

So I sing alone.

Firefly Warriors

A little bit of my fantasy art.

Sanctuary

Aftermath

It's tornado season here. The huge storms can be deadly, and they scare me to death!

Yin and Yang

I haven't done a fractal image in a while, so I thought it was time.

Love

If I find the words, I will put them in a poem
But don’t wait.
They will never come in time to tell you
I feel them there, hovering on the fringe
But don’t wait
Because each time I reach out, they are gone.
Touch, smell and hearing all combine
And I still can’t seem to know.
Please don’t wait
For if you do, you may miss the simple truth
You may miss the knowing.
Don’t wait
Just simply understand,
I love you.

Impressions of Spring

Redbuds in Bloom

Atlantis Rising

Secrets

Tell me what it was like when you felt the first quickening
Were you aware of the spirit within you?
Sing the song of the one whose thought, and breath, and love
Brought form out of nothingness.

Tell me what it was like when you felt the first quickening
Did you feel the sweet slip of water, or the fire of pain?
Sing the song of the spirit within, and teach me of a long ago
I cannot imagine

Tell me what it was like when you felt the first quickening
Is there still a bit of what went before….to find?
Sing the song of the hands, and hearts, and places
You have known.
Tell me what it was like,
The need within me is great-
And I will sing your song
Forever

Water

A little different....

Fire

Happy Valentines Day

No painting....no poem. I'm not real big on these contrived holidays.
Go out and commit some random acts of kindness.
Love is at it's best without strings.

Wind

Earth

A new series....the mermaid thing just didn't spark my imagination. This one is my interpretation of the four sacred elements: Earth, Wind, Fire, Water.
I hope you enjoy them!
