I am playing around in “space” again.  I love the abstract nature of our Universe and I am always amazed and inspired by the imagery sent back to us from NASA.  This piece depicts our Statue of Liberty with an active chaotic nebula as a foreground.  She stands through it all….

Yes, I am mooning everyone again.  No, not that kind of moon. 🙂  But I do seem to have a fascination with the sky, the stars and that glowing orb that every human on the planet gets to gaze upon.  Many cultures around the world have interesting myths about the Moon.  Some believe there are many moons while others think it brings out werewolves. It has been reported to be made of water and even cheese.  It can cause lunacy and pregnant women are more likely to give birth when the moon is full.  Here is a moon FACT: The moon is not round (or spherical). Instead, it’s shaped like an egg.  In my art I like to experiment with different colors and textures and my moon piece is no different.  If you want to see the rear end kind of moon, I have those too in my paintings.  Today, however, you get to enjoy this red beauty….

I believe we all have a dark side.  Not evil, but a part of us that lurks in the shadows of humanity. An internal eye that boldly looks at the things that we are told we should turn away from.  It isn’t all lollipops and unicorns is it?  I find superstition especially fascinating.  In some cultures crows are thought to symbolize death or bad luck.  Conversely in other peoples they are are believed to be guardians of truth and keepers of sacred law.  A sign of power.  I see these shiny black beauties every day around my home.  I do not fear them or their message.  Step on a crack and break your Momma’s back…..my Mom’s back is just fine and so are these magnificent mythical creatures.
