Disparate




What goes together?


What makes our mind register
a commonality in disparate objects?  


At what point does nature stop and art begin?


Dive into the questions.

In nature, life, love and art.

All is One. There are no barriers, no limits, no horizons that we do not create ourselves. Or make invisible by ourselves in the pursuit of beauty and art. The greatest miracle of our brain is that we can find beauty when we need it most and seldom fails to find the way to "there".

These shots are exquisite, then what is new? :)

I believe that in Nature, art is happening and displayed all the time.
But we as artists, capture Nature, and create ART..we paint a flower, photograph a sunset, we sculpt, quilt, carve, write, sing, cook with nature. It all starts with Nature.
Observe the color wheel.
Observe the petals of a flower. Observe the dense colors of a sunrise or sunset.
Observe nature.

Then, and only then will ART take place.

Astrological Profile

So. . . according to the time and place of my birth, my Sun is in Virgo. My Moon is in Scorpio. My rising sign (Ascendant) is in Aries. I tend toward perfectionism and can be critical, sometimes directing it at others but mostly toward myself. I have emotional depth and when I fall in love, I'm totally committed and expect the same of my Beloved (though my secret fear is betrayal). I like being active and my mind is quick. Knowledge is important to me, as is mastery of things that interest me. I tend to dive into things headfirst and sometimes I let myself go hogwild. . . and wear myself out. And often, once I know as much about something as I need to know, I lose interest and am off to the next shiny thing. What's your profile? (And I know that the good stuff applies, but the bad stuff is just so much bunk.)

Art Journal Pages # 34

Image
It's been a while since I worked in my "real" art journal, the one I collage and draw in after having painted the watercolor paper pages with liquid watercolors. Well. . .  painted is probably not an accurate depiction, since I usually saturate a wadded up paper towel  and smear the damp paint on, or maybe sponge it on. And then wait. And wait. Waiting for the page to dry. Then I begin to glue various things onto pages with Yes paste or acrylic gel medium. And wait again. It can sometimes take two or three days to find just the right things for the page, adhere them, and wait for the layer to dry so I can build in the next one. Meanwhile, the thickness of my art journal expands like an unruly waistline. Digital art journaling, on the other hand, is much tidier. And quicker. And just as layered and nuanced. I make these babies on Polyvore.com. If you're interested in learning how, email me (meriak@y...
