"...days of old when magic filled the air..."
These are some new photos taken of my dear friend Kaela Weeks. Initially, the idea was to sort of build a cocoon around her and paint her arm as a symbolic wing emerging...however, being on a very VERY low budget, obviously, it was not realized the way I imagined it.
When I began editing the photos, however, I drew upon my love of the aged and vintage look. Also, for many of them I had in mind my nostalgia for classic 60s and 70s rock music and the wonderful album covers of the time. While I didn't parody any particular album cover, the Led Zeppelin House of the Holy image (being one of my favorites) was definitely an inspiration during this process.
Basically, I was aiming for a vintage surrealism with these manipulations. I want to evoke the feeling I get when listening to the types of music I love so dearly. This ranges from anything melodic and beautiful, to the somewhat dark and powerful, to every combination of the two.
I have always longed for days of old when it seemed that summer was forever and love was in the air in its purest and bittersweet form. These timeless themes are ever present in my mind as I create imagery to express them.
As always, I would love to hear any thoughts on these works. Good or bad...I can take it! lol
Feel free to open your mind and let me know exactly what you think! I'm always open to ideas and criticisms. So, don't be a stranger! :)
Thanks for taking the time to step into my world.
Much Love!!!

Two new paintings finished very recently. The first one is called "Awakening" and it has to do with the realization that human beings have the power to identify and change their own personal reactions to all situations. I'm taking an interpersonal effectiveness class, right now, and it has taught me so much about myself and the person I want to become. So, I guess this painting is about an epiphany I've had while in this class. A new perspective on the world, I suppose. :)
The next piece was completed last week...it is so new I have not titled it yet. It's about feeling depressed, scared, alone...and surrounded by the beauty that fuels us. The world can be a dark and disheartening place to be sometimes, but closing your eyes to remember that time goes by perpetually, you can't stop it...there will be sunshine and there will be rain, but every emotion has a cycle, and just when you feel as unhappy as you can possibly feel...something happens to remind you that you are in control. Your emotions don't control you....and from there, you crack a smile...already feeling better, on your way to a brighter day. :)

The Gypsy Hideout is an awesome band! These are some of the pictures I took at their last show on 1/3/09. I know a lot of them are a bit blurrified, but I'm working on getting a better lens to help with that. I think it gives them character in some cases when there are tracers...but that's just my opinion. As always, I'd love to know what you think! :)
Then, go listen to the band, of course!!! http://www.myspace.com/thegypsyhideout
Thanks bunches!!
