I live in Lancashire. My town was built in the mid 19th century for the workers of a cotton mill – some of the machinery being steam powered. The Victorian era and Industry are engrained in my heart and in my personality and Steampunk is just a wonderful embodiment of my heritage Texture credits: / http://erosunknown-stock.deviantart.com/art/Black-and-Cream-Paisley-75595472 / http://kseniasara.deviantart.com/art/Sections-Stock-8-80864223 / http://abigelstock.deviantart.com/art/Paper012-80820024 / http://bean-stock.deviantart.com/art/Grainy-1-74550081 / http://dazzle-textures.deviantart.com/art/Destructive-News-67941303 / http://stockgrapher.deviantart.com/art/012-68424243

This work was inspired by the wonderful poem UMBRELLA of the very talented artist ANAISNAIS / Thank you Anna-Marie for let to share this beautiful poem here. ’’ UMBRELLA / / by Anaisnais There she stands / Centre stage for all to see / Tall and slender / Precariously she balances. I reach out for her / Draw her to me / My hand skims her body / Slowly reaches her skirt. Playful fingers find hidden areas / Delighted her legs spring forth / Displaying the very beauty / Of her delicately placed, adorned skirt. Gaily she dances around / Dizzily twisting and turning / In the brightness of day shading / She gently tends to my needs. Personal ballerina takes to toes leaping / Merrily bobbing up and down / As emotional to her performance / Clouds cry a thousand tears for her. Reaching our destination / Slightly shaken, she leans / Watches me, / Quietly drips, against the wall. Reminiscent of the day’s fulfillment / We acknowledge one another, silently / Restful knowing we shall be / One, once more. ’’ I truly appreciate all your kind comments and support. / All Origional art work can be purchased through the artist. —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-——- Copyright notice: / All rights reserved.

Thanks to the lovely Lori Dennis for the wonderful Stock. / / “When all was over at the cemetery Charles returned to the house. There was no one downstairs. He went up into the bedroom and saw her dress hanging up at the foot of the bed. Then, leaning against the secretaire, he remained there till it was dark, lost in sorrowful meditation. After all, she had loved him.” / - Gustave Flaubert, Madame Bovary, Ch. 2
This is an 8×10 colored pencil drawing.

Medium: Acrylic Paint on Acrylic Paper / Size: 12” x 16” / Description: Based on the sixth track from the Tool album 10,000 Days, Lipan Conjuring was completed in 2009 and offered a lot of creative freedom for interpretation. This piece for me was more an experimentation in using colours I rarely use; pink and blue being the said colours. In the short track on the album, I gathered a sense of ancient magic that sounded like the summoning of power. This is the sense I wanted to paint, this is what I felt.

6B Pencil Drawing 53cmx37cm 1981 Commission – SOLD This is an oldie but a goodie. One of my brother’s mates / asked me to do this for him from a larger original drawing I / had done. It was back in my teenage days when I used to love / drawing this surrealist kind of stuff when I wasn’t drawing horses. / (As Trudi has said….there is a flying unicorn in there somewhere) I love how things just flowed into another, from the steps with the / eyeball – down to the snake which becomes a bird in the other direction, / the nose with the pop gun, the little creature with the egg in the frypan. The drawing originally started from a sketch of my hand & then it / just grew from there – lots of weird & wonderful things from my / imagination. Hanging around my brother & his surfie mates in / Newcastle you can see there were some extra influences I have / thrown into the drawing at the time. They all thought my drawings / were cool & looking back I guess they were…...well I got a commission / for this one!

Copyright © 2009 Linda Apple / “Keeper of the Cosmic Gate” / oil on canvas – 46×56 inches This painting is the third of the Gate keepers. The cosmic gate, where all knowledge of creation is kept. The dolphins hold the ancient information of our planet. / Technical info: All the writing(language that developed through the series) in the book of knowledge is written in liquid gold and the triangular open box (atop of rocks on the right) is painted in liquid silver. This was the first time I used actual metallic minerals in a painting. In the proper lighting, they reflect amazing light.
