My friend and wonderful artist and fellow bubbler: Tahnja . I took the inspiration from her own work…how gorgeous and full of meaning her religious work shows. So I made her something of an angel…with devine heart. Something to represent how I see her, in what her work makes me feel. I am not to fond of how her mouth came out. But every artist, no matter what age, is always learning. Image used with permission by Tahnja.

Faber-Castell Watercolour-Pencils “Albrecht Dürer” on Canvas Ἑκάτη, as she is spelled in ancient Greek, is a Greco-Roman goddess who’s often associated with magic, witches, ghosts, and crossroads. / She is attested in poetry as early as Hesiod’s Theogony. An inscription from late archaic Miletus naming her as a protector of entrances is also testimony to her presence in archaic Greek religion. / The place of origin of her following is uncertain, but it is thought that she had popular followings in Thrace. Her most important sanctuary was Lagina, a theocratic city-state in which the goddess was served by eunuchs. In Thrace she played a role similar to that of lesser-Hermes, namely a governess of liminal regions (particularly gates) and the wilderness, bearing little resemblance to the night-walking crone she became. Additionally, this led to her role of aiding women in childbirth and the raising of young men. / Hecate also came to be associated with ghosts, infernal spirits, the dead and sorcery. Like the totems of Hermes – herms placed at borders as a ward against danger – images of Hekate were also placed at the gates of cities, and eventually domestic doorways. Over time, the association with keeping out evil spirits could have led to the belief that if offended, Hekate could also allow the evil spirits in. According to one view, this accounts for invocations to Hekate as the supreme governess of the borders between the normal world and the spirit world, and hence as one with mastery over spirits of the dead. Her power certainly came to be closely associated with sorcery. / The modern understanding of Hekate has been strongly influenced by syncretic Hellenistic interpretations. Many of the attributes she was assigned in this period appear to have an older basis. For example, in the magical papyri of Ptolemaic Egypt, she is called the ‘she-dog’ or ‘bitch’, and her presence is signified by the barking of dogs. In late imagery she also has two ghostly dogs as servants by her side. However, her association with dogs predates the conquests of Alexander the Great_ and the emergence of the Hellenistic world. When Philip II._ laid siege to Byzantium she had already been associated with dogs for some time; the light in the sky and the barking of dogs that warned the citizens of a night time attack, saving the city, were attributed to Hecate Lampadephoros (the tale is preserved in the Suda). In gratitude the Byzantines erected a statue in her honour. / From Wikipedia Today, Hekate is the goddess of magic, enchantment and crossroads. She is also a moon goddess and embodies the waning and dark moon. / Animals associated with her are dogs, owls, snakes and wolves. She often carries a key – she opens the doors to the underworld. The symbol at her side is called Strophalos of Hekate or Hekate’s Wheel. It symbolizes her in her triple aspect. Only one ancient source remains to shed any light on the emblem’s meaning. The second century Alexandrian text known as the “Chaldean oracle” describes the emblem as a labyrinthine serpent (emblematic of rebirth) surrounding a spiral, symbolic of the Iynges- “whirlings” or emanations of divine thought. Sacred days are Samhain and November 16th, when sunset marks the beginning of the Night of Hekate / November 30th is the Day of Hekate at the Crossroads. In some traditions January 31st is the night that Hekate hands her torch to Brigid, whose arrival is celebrated at Imbolc.
Amor con amor se paga / Amar sin fronteras es amar sin limites, / Estar cerca de ti es estar lejos mío, / Tu corazón es parte del mío, / Tu aliento mi exhalación, mi alma / Será para siempre tu espíritu creador. No olvides con odio, / Porque el odio se volverá en contra tuyo / No olvides por capricho, / Porque no podrás con él, / No pienses que no te quiero, / Porque no es verdad, / No rías con miedo / Porque en llanto se convertirá, / Ama a la luz del sol, / A la luz de la luna, / No te olvides que yo fui, / Soy y seré, quien tu amor se lleva. Carlos Alberto Garcia’... “Love is repaid with love / To love without bounds / is to love without limits, / Being near you…. / is being away from me, / Your heart is part of mine, / your breath is my breath, / My soul will forever be / your spirit of creation. Do not forget with hatred / For hatred will turn against you / Do not forget out of caprice, / Because it will defeat you, / Do not think I do not love you, / Because it is not true, / Do not laugh in fear / Because it will turn to tears / Love in the sunlight, in the moonlight, / Do not forget that I was, / I am and will always be / the one who owns your love”…. song of Malaga .....
An obvious metaphor for the ever-watchful eye of the Lord. This is an award winning picture.

A week and a half ago I was forced to take a leave of absence due to a hernia of the stomach which is due to heavy lifting at work. A doctor gave me a profile that restricted me from doing any kind of work, other then sitting in a chair. So now I am sitting home out of work. I need a operation to fix the hernia, but I have to wait for two week until My company’s insurance investigates, and finds it to be work related. Then when they are done their investigation, then I can set up the operation. In the mean time I am not allowed to make any money,to support my self. So please pray that God will help all involved to come to a quick conclusion. Pray that I will be able to get this operation soon as possible , and recover quickly. And that I will get taken back to work. Pray that I will be able to meet my financial needs. Pray for peace of mine while I go through these troubled waters. I thank you for holding me up in prayer , For I don’t know how I will make it unless the hand of God will provide. Stephen J. Vattimo 11/6/2009
” Spirit of the Forest arise again send your guardians, protect the mighty trees from destruction they are the life and breath of the planet and fools of men are tearing them asunder, on their path to oblivion like lemmings on the road to extinction”. by V.Kelly ... save- our- trees.org:.. finished after midnight .
Acrylic on oil painting canvas textured paper. Standard A3 I really didn’t have anything much in mind for this in concept, I just wanted to be unrestricted and let it flow in what ever direction I felt I wanted this to go in. I did have a reason for painting another self portrait. The group Bubbler Portraits is currently holding a challenge to paint a portrait of me and I am allowed to enter so I really wanted to attempt something new. I guess I ended up mixing a few different things I sometimes do in my paintings to end up with this result. When I finished it I wanted my beloved to know that I am always watching over him with my great love and prayers…that I believe completely in miracles and in the wonder and awesomeness of God…these were my feelings when I stepped back to view my work. MUCH love, beauty, joy and God’s miracles to you all!! Detail / / /
