You’re Invited To My Garden Party

Springtime is a great time for a garden party.
I like that phrase: “Spring showers bring May flowers!”
The dew sparkles on the flower petals as the rising sun bursts through.
The bright and brilliant colors dance in the sunshine as a cool morning breeze lightly moves through and kisses the blooms shaking them with excitement as they dance around.
The blooms burst with a wonderfully relaxing and serene scent.
Come and join me, won’t you!?
This is image 23/52 week challenge. It’s a rendition of spin and zoom.
I discovered this technique when a fellow Arcanumite posted an image from a project she’s involved in using this same technique. I queried her about how she learned and if there were any tutorial videos available. She quickly shared a video. I then watched it and decided to investigate more videos on the technique. I found another one by the same creator of the previous I watched. I liked the teaching in the 2nd video better than the 1st. I quickly began playing with the technique with my dinosaur canon dSLR. I quickly realized that the sensor needs cleaning. I have to figure out how to do that. I defaulted to using my mobile phone and a specific camera app I like to use to create with. I came up with a few new art pieces using my mobile phone camera app. This one here is one of them.

Purple Dreams

When I dream it’s of purple.
When I dream it’s of softness,
with a smooth touch.
She veils harsh places to protect my eyes.
Her beauty is far reaching from within.
She is royal and stands regally in honor.
She whispers sweet things. She sings of great wonders.
I dream purple dreams!

Flaming Passion

The flames of passion burn hot!

Allowing my passion to burn inspires my imagination to grow.

I love when my imagination runs wild. I love being inspired.

When I am inspired my passion grows stronger.

Being passionate creates such an place of euphoria.

The state of euphoria opens my mind to awesome colors and shapes.

The colors and shapes create awesome abstract art.

What does this image speak to you? Share in the comments. I’d like to know.

This is image 20/52 week challenge.

I dedicate this image to my wonderful husband, Paul. Today is his 37th birthday. Also, today is my father and sister’s birthday. I wish them an awesome birthday.

In The Garden

One of my favorite gospel hymns is called “In The Garden”. These are the lyrics:
  1. I come to the garden alone,
    While the dew is still on the roses,
    And the voice I hear falling on my ear
    The Son of God discloses.
    • Chorus:
      And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
      And He tells me I am His own;
      And the joy we share as we tarry there,
      None other has ever known.
  2. He speaks, and the sound of His voice
    Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,
    And the melody that He gave to me
    Within my heart is ringing.
  3. I’d stay in the garden with Him,
    Though the night around me be falling,
    But He bids me go; through the voice of woe
    His voice to me is calling.

He Is My Refuge

There she stands tall and proud; safe and protected by the mighty fortress surrounding her.
This parallels with my faith in that God is my refuge and keeps me safe with Him being a mighty fortress surrounding me.
This is 18/52 week challenge. It’s abstract art and a lens painting. I decided to go on a larger scale this time instead of the macro. It has a light textured layer added.

From Within

abstract art, lens painting

It lurks there… from within.

I hurried past.

I could hear it breathing heavily as I passed and it watched me.

What lies beyond? It could be anything fear related.

What are you afraid of? It’s out there. Waiting for you. Or has it moved in and lurks from within?

Yes, this is a scary post. Sometimes, I like to express scary because we all fear. Expressing my fear here is therapeutic for me to get it out of my own mind.

She Sings Hallelujah

20160408-she-sings-hallelujahShe proudly stands in full glory for all to see.
She waves and reaches for Heaven.
She sings hallelujah.

Psalm 150:1
Praise the LORD!
Praise God in His sanctuary;
Praise Him in his mighty heaven!

Revelation 19:6
Then I heard again what sounded like
the shout of a vast crowd
or the roar of mighty ocean waves
or the crash of loud thunder:
“Praise the LORD!
For the Lord our God,
the Almighty, reigns.

Spring Flight

It’s Spring. The birds are whistling their tunes. The sky is full of puffy white clouds, and the flowers are blooming.

Spring brings new life, as well as, newborns. The flying kind that is. Mothers flit off to find food for their young. The young wait for their return. The first sights and smells of mom the young squawk for their feeding. Mom hovers over them as she flits from one to the other offering each nourishment.

She lovingly cares for them until it’s time for them to take flight.
