Joy of Joys

I have posted this art before, I'm posting it again!
because of the absolute 
JOY 
it brings me 
whenever I look at it!
Yes it was digitally composed and yes, 
because of the abundance of digital images
some would not consider it art or give it a second glance.
But this is one of my all-time favourite creations,
 here is why I love it ~ 
I was at one, totally absorbed in the creation!


The intuitive feeling that the original image (a photo) would
 become something more, something other,
a layer of different meaning, 
I didn't know what that meaning was
at the time but trusted that it would reveal itself to me, 
and so it did after my random manipulations! 
~
Looking down at my creation here is what I saw
~
I was one of the two birds, I had flown to a faraway 
place now hovering over a sun-drenched coastline,
the sun reflecting beams of light into the air,
the other bird was a friend, a native, 
who had risen to greet me.
Both of us are elated to share 
the greeting and were viewing the wonderful land 
and the promise of beautiful things to come.

The bird represents my online friends,
the coastline with sunbeams rising represents
the beautiful places I visit there virtually with my friends.
More than that it represents the dream I have 
of visiting face to face one day.

So this image represents my dream,
 it came up from my deepest Self,
 that is why I love it.

What a wonderful tale to accompany your art!

The judge of what art is, is what your soul sees. I see the beautiful story you wove in colors and shapes. Absolutely most creative.

Ah, Sue, you have captured my thoughts completely. I don't know what I would do without the wide world opened to me through blogging. I have traveled places I would otherwise never have gone to. THAT brings me joy.

What to Do?

Jamie Ridler asks in Wishcasting Wednesday - How would you like to spend some time? Good question for me at this time of year as I usually embark on some course or other for the winter months ahead, and as usual I'm not sure?  I go through  familiar questions, what do I really love and would like to spend time pursuing?  I've got qualifications in Fine Art and my heart is in photography, graphics, printmaking etc. But I'm torn because I'm also interested in Personal Development and have a yearning to share what I've learned so far with others in some way, especially on-line?  So what do I do? How do  I spend some time doing what I want to do, don't know, not sure but one thing I do know is that I need to spend more time puzzling it out? Or will it just come to me?  Do I spend more time meditating upon these ideas??? For other wishcaster wishes visit Jamie Ridler Studios
