A utility pole with a bunch of lines running off the top . A street light is hidden behind the pole but its light shines on the wires. The dark sky behind is peppered with stars.

Day 11
Making the winter night sky light up

Eve reached up, stretching high so as to carefully remove her long ago painting. As Mary & the Coal Miner stepped into the room, their eyes were drawn immediately to the vibrant artwork. The brush strokes were exquisite yet strong. The image almost shimmered in the lighting that graced the studio.

"Entropy in Gold"

Thanks, Christian! They are just so much fun, especially since it's all for me. I'm the only one who, for the most part, sees my artwork but that is fine. The fun is in the creation (although I do have quite the collection of art work up here in the house😂).

Day 8
Acrylics on watercolor paper 8" x 8"

When Eve went to work w/ her paint brushes it was often as if she did not control the artwork. Her mind bounced around w/ ideas & her fingers directed paint in ways that proved to be wondrous. She wanted to create art that would open people to love. She would get Mary & the coal miner to help her.

“But this was California in the nineties, when it was your civic duty to drink at least one carrot-apple-ginger juice a week, ideally with a wheatgrass booster.”

Perfect words, perfect photo. Thank you.

Breakfast at the Beach

This is great!

Deep blue background with and infinity sign moving across the page. The sign is partly a deep maroon with the lower right portion being a golden yellow.

Infinity
Acrylics 16"x20"

Yes, I get that. I have been able to capture some remarkable ocean views b/c right time, right place luck.

Charles Dickens had the right idea. Teach the people thru engaging words. Show them how love works. Inspire them to be better people. A big order but Eve was determined to right the wrongs that existed in the world. She was a painter. She could work from the heart. Words or images - both have power.

This is so striking. I like it a lot.

8x12 inch paper. The left side of the paper is blank (all while). The right side has a mostly circular design of blue watercolor that has a melting effect . The paint sort of evaporates off the paper all around the central spot of blue. There is a touch of black and red on the edges.

"Soul Unraveiling"

Cute!

I've been playing with collage lately. Your piece is very inspiring to me.

Very cool!

A single brown feather resting on undisturbed light brown sand with a long shadow reaching foward. The rising sun is suggested by the yellow/golden tones in the sky over the ocean. Big puffy gray/white clouds up top.

Light as a Feather

Eve knew that her bones were creaky. She didn't move as fast as she once did but she could still feel Creativity dancing inside her soul. She sat with it as she wondered about the paths to real change. What could she create that would expand awareness and allow Love to be the real force for change?

A close-up photo of a yellow rose. It is mostly from the side, a few gold nugget anthers are poking out from the folds of petals. Large and small droplets fill most of the outward petals. Due to adjusting the contrast and shadows, the water drops and the twists and turns of the flower's petals "pop" in the picture. The background is blurred.

Wow!

Winter

Love the triangles!

Cool!

Well done!

Big sun with yellow rays and a sunset sort of sky that takes up the upper two thirds of the painting. Below that a desert like landscape with a blend of brown, red, yellow, faded green landscape colors. Over on the right side, two small figures stand ,casting shadows, as they look to the horizon.

"They're people & we have to protect them from our own government", Eve thought. She was determined to show the world that many Americans were appalled at this sort of behavior. Many Americans were ready for a change in the national agenda, both at home & abroad. How could she make a difference?
