Still Randomly Rolling...

This randomness thing is getting out of control....becoming obsessive......but been coming up with some cool abstracts!
This of course is "Randomness 3".

Still More Randomness...

I am on a randomness roll....I guess Kim's blog tag with the randomness theme inspired me or I'm being obsessive compulsive or I just need to create randomness, is that an oxymoron? Can you create randomess? Who cares?
There isn't always rhyme or reason to what's inside our subconscious....it is in there and it has to come out. Getting deep...LOL!
Here is Randomness 2

More on Randomness...

On my previous post TAG....You are IT! I was tagged by Kim from Monaco Designs. The theme was randomness. We were to list 6 random things about ourselves and tag six other people on their blogs and ask them to do the same. I tried not to give this too much thought and picked things that popped into my mind. Of course, while participating in the "GAME OF TAG" I was pondering what randomness means. Being a creative person, one of the best ways to express myself is through my art. My pondering led to the creation of a series aptly titled Randomness. The first in the series "Randomness 1" is shown above. It is a digital painting and will probably end up on a canvas as a giclee.

TAG....You are IT!

Six Random Things About Me:

1. I only like shopping when I have money to spend, so therefore I hate window shopping.
2. I don't like that I'm unable to fix my 'being late most of the time' problem.
3. I love Art and Art History! I love that I am a creative person.
4. I love the smell of fresh pine and cedar trees, the real thing.
5. I love coffee. A good cup of java is so good for the tummy and the soul!
6. I can tread water, float and swim (but don't have the stamina of an Olympic swimmer)

ok... now I'm tagging six more people! Can't wait to read what you have to say...

ART

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"There are painters who transform the sun to a yellow spot, but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence, transform a yellow spot into the sun."
— Pablo Picasso: was a Spanish Artist and Painter.

Floral Abstracts

This floral abstract is an exploration in digital painting. I started with a shot that I took of the inside of a tulip, one of my favorite spring flowers. I then painted and played in photoshop until I got what I visualized in my mind's eye. I am extremely happy with the result. I find it very intense and energizing. I am planning to put this on a large canvas.

Art and spirituality

I get inspired in many different ways, and many times art connects me to the realm of Spirit and Wholeness. Very often the creative experience is very intuitive. I was playing around with an image I shot of a very colorful mobile in the shape of a spiral. I like the shape of a spiral, it is a great symbol of eternity, maybe even the energy of the soul. I took the spiral and transformed it into a pattern of ovals, and even though it doesn't look like the original spiral it still has the essence of spiraling. It has become a mandala for me.

man·da·la [muhn-dl-uh] -noun
1. Oriental Art. a schematized representation of the cosmos, chiefly characterized by a concentric configuration of geometric shapes, each of which contains an image of a deity or an attribute of a deity.
2. (in Jungian psychology) a symbol representing the effort to reunify the self.
[Origin: 1855-60; Sanskrit]

Symbols can be universal or personal. A personal symbol can mean something special to just one person. Maybe this image will become a personal transformative symbol for you.
