Ink and colourpencil on paper Nice one for a Christmas greetingcard. I used it for Christmas 2006… / Nice one for the decemberpage of a calendar also.
In three I see beyond the eye, / And with these eyes I see the hidden! The paradox of thought is the key to life, / For the God/Goddess is the thought spoken! We are the whisper upon the wind, / And our souls the water of life! Believe what you wish for chaos as many names. Freedom is but a word spoken upon mankind’s lips. For the flesh is bound by the laws of men! And so in essence true freedom can only be found in spirit! May all your paths find truth in life!

Original is Acrylic on 9×12 canvas board Featured in C.O.R.E. This is an older painting that I did….back in ‘06 or ‘07 I believe, this is the first real painting I ever did. Prior to this, I worked primarily in colored pencil….it was this painting that really made me focus on the acrylics. The original now hangs in my sister’s bedroom in Tennessee….this has been one of her favorites for a long time…she graduated from High School in May of ‘09 and I presented this to her as a graduation present. This painting is inspired by Amy Brown She is one of the world’s leading faerie artists right now….and a FABULOUS lady, I must say! :) I love the way she uses colors and wanted to try and replicate her techniques. Me & Amy @ FaerieWorlds ‘08 in Eugene, OR / I used her piece, Curiosity as reference. I painted this freehand from a very small image of her painting. As you can see, I took my own twist on this piece. Curisoty by Amy Brown / Since I chose to put the dragon in front of a background of space and stars, I thought it only fitting that I call him Draco. According to Wikipedia, Draco is a constellation in the far northern sky. Its name is Latin for dragon. Draco is circumpolar (that is, never setting) for many observers in the northern hemisphere. It was one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd century astronomer Ptolemy, and remains one of the 88 modern constellations today. Draco is among the earliest of the constellations to have been defined; in one of the oldest known astronomical records, the ancient Egyptians identified it as Tawaret, the goddess of the northern sky in their pantheon of deities. Considered ever-vigilant because the constellation never set, she was depicted a fierce protective goddess whose body was a composite of crocodile, human, lioness, and hippopotamus parts.[citation needed] The Greeks named it Draco the dragon. In one of the more famous European myths, Draco represents Ladon, the dragon sometimes depicted with one hundred heads who guarded the golden apples of the Hesperides. The eleventh of the Twelve Labours of Heracles was to steal the golden apples. He put Ladon to sleep with music, which enabled Heracles to freely take the golden apples. According to the legend, Hera later placed the dragon in the sky as the constellation Draco. Due to its position and nearby constellations in the zodiac sign of Libra (i.e. Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, and Boötes), the group of constellations can be seen to tell the tale of the eleventh labour.[original research?] In another Greek legend, Draco represents the dragon killed by Cadmus before founding the city of Thebes, Greece. In a third legend, it represents the dragon that guarded the Golden Fleece (occasionally revealed as the sleeping or nearly dead figure of Ladon) and was killed by Jason. The fact that the stars of this circumpolar constellation never set plays an important part in its mythologies.[citation needed] In Roman legend, Draco was a dragon killed by the goddess Minerva and tossed into the sky upon his defeat. Early Christians originally of the Roman or Greek faith then depicted Draco as the serpent who tempted Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. The Arabs did not interpret the constellation as a dragon, seeing instead an asterism called the Mother Camels (Curiosity is © Amy Brown.

This is rather a bold piece for me, but still I like it. I would be interested in knowing what you thought of it as well. I didn’t choose to do this as just a form of flaunting my sexuality for the attention. It’s kinda complicated, but I felt it was a good way to represent alot of things that are important to me. My faith (the pentacle), love (my heart), the lace represents femininity, the bright color represents the love of beautiful things, creativity, and standing out from the crowd. The breasts, obviously do represent sexuality, but also my freedom to embrace it without fear of shame, guilt, or embarrassment Even in this day and age, women are made to feel that they must not do this, that they must oppress this side of them, and if they don’t, they are labeled as a whore, treated very badly, and not taken seriously. This is a disgusting double standard, that no matter how hard we try, we cannot seem to shake. Society as a whole needs to learn to respect women and treat them how they deserve to be treated, as they are… beautiful, intelligent, nurturing, valuable, unique, worthy EQUALS! This is how ALL people should be treated. Model: Mama & The Girls ;) / Date: August 2007 / Location: Statesville, Wilson, TN, USA / Photographer: FireLilyAMG/Allyssa L.

Thank you Linmarie…Linmarie / has written a beautiful poem which accompanies Safe in the Branches...
Linmarie / has written a beautiful poem which accompanies Safe in the Branches perfectly. My skin is auburn / My eyes are autumn / My lips a taught brown frown / My fingers are branches of a tree / against my expression of being let down. You never saw me when I stood right next to you / I walked on egg shells just to please you / You looked right through my soul, missed all I had to offer / I had no where else to go. So the forest became my place to reflect, hide and be safe / I became one with nature, because she heard my song / She welcomed me, wrapped me in warmth / And told me ” It has been to long”. Music fills me with wind and storms / The forest has become my new arms / Because you didn’t, I moved along / You should have listened, I am now strong.
The Winter Of Discontent must give way. / It’s frigid sterility / Offers no fertile place for love to blossom. / Instead it only offers frost. It did serve to remind me of sunshine and bliss. / And the maxim that we reap what we sow. / Its blizzards whispered tales of warmth lost. / And planted a seed of faith within my cold mind. A seed that awaits for spring time to grow. / When the icy winds are replaced by the warmer winds of change. / And when the frost is thawed and the Earth renewed. / Shall cause once barren soil to hunger and thirst. / To be pregnant with life.
Each year on Samhain an integral part of my celebration, is remembering all those who have passed during this (and previous) “turns of the wheel”...I place their pictures prominently about the house, on my home altar, and write their names on a piece of paper I carry with me throughout the day. Next to their names on that list, is a word or short phrase that highlights the warm or happy thought that I am remembering most about them. Olympus SP-565UZ
The second in the Chac Mool Series, this Mayan figurine from the Yucatan peninsula in Central America has come to stay in a whole new world up in the northern United States… Here he is posing thoughtfully as the archetypal Hermit from the tarot… (The Hermit is a lone figure, walking through the darkness carrying the light, which is a great burden but also a great gift. He is quiet, contemplative. While others rush around and shout, he sits quietly alone and thinks. He goes deep within to reach wisdom.) Here he is in a quiet moment, contemplating the future of mankind… Olympus SP-565UZ / Post processing in Picasa3 Other works in this series:
Hecate remained neutral during the Titanomachy (The Battle between the Titans and the Gods) . Zeus could not punish her – and fearing her power thought to win her alliance, or at worst, her neutrality. / So he gave her an army of Lampades – nymphs to serve Her tirelessly.

Painted this today, 10.02.2009. This is part one of a two parter collection. I painted this, then painted part two over it. Part two titled, In the Midst of Love – The End I used watercolour on double thick canvas 12×12 In the Midst of Love – The End
At Samhain, the veil between worlds is said to be at it’s thinnest, making it an optimal time for various types of divination such as scrying, tarot, and palm reading. When reading the cards, or attempting other types of divination, the diviner is said to be stepping “between worlds” to seek the answer, and in the process becoming a bridge that allows information to pass from one world to the next… Olympus SP-565UZ / Post Processing GIMPshop
