Peace, Love and Joy for Venezuela…

October 6, 2012 · 2 Comments

I had been working all week on an image for a post and it was missing something!

… then today it came about when I made the intention to create an image of positive energy for Venezuela,
and this is what happened,
I transformed that image into this mandala!

… one of Peace, Love and Joy for Venezuela ♥♥♥

This Sunday something very crucial will take place for Venezuela,
and this will determine its future.
For a thriving country of Freedom and Prosperity!

♥

The god of Victory is said to be one-handed, but Peace gives victory to both sides.

Celestial Event on Etsy!

September 26, 2012 · Leave a Comment

At times my work gets featured in an “Etsy Treasury” which is a lucky thing for me and all who participate.
Recently, I was included in this stunning treasury called “Celestial Event” by Jennifer Schmidt.
I found it so very thought provoking with it’s selection of artwork, and beautifully composed layout.

A “gem of a design” in itself, and me desperately wanting to print it up and hang it as ART on my wall!

I am absolutely honored to have a “bite” in here, among these unique, creative and imaginative pieces of art!
Please see more treasuries by JennasRedRhino and who also has an Etsy shop called TheCatBall

…connecting branches!

May 2, 2011 · 5 Comments

Last fall I was invited by an online blogger
to participate in a collaborative project, The Paint-by-Number Exchange. Each participant was to select a Paint-By-Number kit to complete by hand and then to alter the image, giving it their own personal "twist" or embellishment according to their artistic expression. I chose "The Almond Branches in Bloom", Saint Remy – circa 1890 a phenomenal piece by my champion, painter
~ Vincent Van Gogh. (view here)

This "Paint-by-Number Exchange" was proposed by fellow artist blogger Jacquelyn Berl.

After painting the image (provided by Famous Art Kits) by hand, I scanned the image to digitally incorporate clothing buttons as flower buttons and alter the image with a flowing ribbon of text.
I then converted the entire image into an e-Stamp.
The "All Mundi" part of the title for this e-Stamp is both a play on words (Al-Mond)
and a reference to the "All World" scope of the e-Stamp.

So what is an e-Stamp? It's my original concept of a virtual postage stamp for emails. I envisioned the e-Stamp as an art stamp with a global intention, as a way to honor "the internet" which has helped to connect us humans. The nationality of the e-Stamp is www—World Wide Web—and the denominations are in kB for kilobytes or mB for megabytes.
My e-Stamps also exist in the tactile "real" world as prints, produced as giclees on a 9-color archival digital printer. Their formats can be totally variable and printed on different substrates.

The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart.
