Oak Tree on Slattery WORK-IN-PROGRESS, detail: This is a progress detail from the second of two “neighborhood” paintings I’m doing as a print commission. That is, my client wanted large prints similar to two of my previously sold paintings, and the images I had were too small to make good 16 x 20 prints, so, per the request of my client, I’m creating new versions of those two paintings from which to make prints, and making the originals available for purchase. Below is the entire painting so far: As you can see, I’m sort of working from the left side of the board to the right, So the left side is mostly finished, while on the right the vivid underpainting is still fully visible. Check back soon to see further progress ... Good night ... colorful dreams, everyone!
Number 1646 is a combination of the vibrations of number 1 and the energies of number 6 appearing twice, amplifying its influences, and the attributes of number 4. Number 1 denotes initiative and striving forward, creation, new beginnings and projects, achieving success, attainment, fulfilment and happiness. Number 1 also reminds us that we create our own realities with our thoughts, beliefs and actions. Number 6 lends its attributes of stability and grace, acquisition, healing, love of home and family, protection, care and nurturing, solution-finding and problem-solving, reliability and responsibility, integrity and honesty. Number 6 also relates to the material aspects of life. Number 4 resonates with truth and integrity, practicality, working steadily towards achieving goals and aspirations, system and order, self-initiation, building solid foundations and enthusiasm coupled with determination. Number 4 also relates to the energies of the Archangels. Angel Number 1646 suggests that your prayers regarding your home and family life, as well as your monetary situation, have been heard by the angelic and spiritual realms. Trust that you are being answered and your wants and needs will be met as needed. Have faith that the angels are working behind the scenes to ensure that you have all that you need to sustain and maintain you in your life. Release your fears and anxieties so that the angels can assist you with attaining and providing for your material needs. All you need to do is relax and ask for angelic help and guidance. Angel Number 1646 also suggests that all is well in regards to your home and family life. Enjoy your relationships and the companionship of those close to you and give love freely and unconditionally. Trust that your positive affirmations, visualizations and manifesting methods are having positive effects in your life. Set your goals and continue with your optimistic outlook and high expectations. Expect miraculous answers and solutions to appear as you need them. Making positive progress on a soul level isn’t about being perfect, but about the progress you make in regards to the intentions you set in life to do better, and be better. Your guardian angel or spirit guide is the keeper of your conscience and will prompt you through thoughts, feelings and inner-knowing, to do what is right for yourself. Number 1646 relates to number 8 (1+6+4+6=17, 1+7=8) and Angel Number 8. * Joanne Sacred Scribes NUMEROLOGY - The Vibration and Energies of NUMBERS Facebook Instagram Sacred Scribes Ceramics PayPal.Me

Loss of a pet is a devastating time. They are our family members, friends, confidants. I know what it is like to lose a beloved pet and how comforting it can be to have a likeness to remember our loved one gone over the Rainbow Bridge. I will work with you to create a close resemblance of your departed kitty, or that of someone close to you. A custom miniature porcelain kitty similar to those seen in the photos will be made, based on your provided reference photos. The pose will be agreed upon before sculpture is modelled. You will be apprised of the progress of the figurine by photo and discussion via email or FB conversation, during formation, bisque firing, underglaze painting, and glaze firing. Your miniature pet memorial is hand-made and hand-painted cone 6 (medium fire) white porcelain with underglaze colours, protected by a coat of clear glaze. S/he is twice fired (bisque and glaze firings) in the kiln, and is quite resilient unless dropped. All porcelain is strong but still fragile. S/he will be created with love and care in my home studio in Martensville, Saskatchewan, just outside of Saskatoon, on the Canadian Prairies. Custom size: approx 1.5" long, body + tail, and 1" wide. Due to different computer screens and lighting, as well as the firing process, the colours may vary slightly from what you see on your screen. As it is entirely hand-made, and not moulded, there may be slight surface imperfections, which add to its unique nature. All my animals are unique and made individually, not made in a mould. The client is advised there may be additional delays if there are mishaps in the process which necessitate redoing part or all of the piece. Being a custom project, refunds will only be given upon artist's failure to complete the order as requested, or upon breakage of the item while in the artist's care. Thank you for ordering a custom sculpture of your beloved pet. Please view my other animal friends. **** Due to Covid-19, shipments may be delayed during shipping**** *two miniature animals or possibly more, ship for the same price as one. UNTRACKED shipping should take about 5 business days once mailed within Canada, 8-14 days (small packet air) to USA or overseas from North America (International Air), and which can take up 1-2 MONTH by surface.

Her novels include The Reinvention of Skylar Hoyt series (Revell) and the Ellie Sweet books (Playlist). You can connect with her on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and check out samples of her work on her author website. We are so excited to share that there were 204 entries to the 100-word contest that closed on Friday! Finalists should be announced later this week. A writer emailed me with a great editing question. She wanted to know how to judge if her character had developed well over the course of the story. Even when you enjoy the editing process (which is an acquired taste, in my opinion) there's always the possibility that you're so close to your novel that you can't see the flaws. This happens to novices and seasoned writers alike. That's one of the reasons why it's helpful to know about story structure even if you never fill out a plotting spreadsheet in your life; you can use it after you've written the book to be sure the building blocks for a strong story are there. A faulty character arc is, in my opinion, one of the easiest things to accidentally overlook. Maybe it's like how mother's don't always see their kids with the clearest eye. (In the Harry Potter books, the way that the parents fawn over Dudley is hilarious because we all know parents who look at their super bratty kids and somehow think they're wonderful.) We love our main characters, and it can be hard to see them clearly. Here are a few questions you can ponder as you try to determine if you've done your work with character development: (Warning: I use Cars and Pride and Prejudice as examples of character development so if you haven't seen Cars or experienced Pride and Prejudice and don't want to spoil it for yourself, I wouldn't read on!) What can your character do at the end of the novel that they couldn't do at the beginning? My favorite scene in Cars is that last one, where Lightning McQueen sacrifices winning first place in order to push The King across the finish line. The first few times I watched that movie, I actually got teary at that scene. (Now that I've seen it approximately 100 times, I just get goosebumps.) That scene is so powerful because it's the fruit of the journey that Lightning McQueen has been on. When we met him, all he cared about was winning the Piston cup and landing Dinoco as his sponsor. He never would have sacrificed those two things. But by the end of the movie, we see him do something both sacrificial and heroic. Once you've figured out what your character can do at the end that they couldn't do in the beginning, you need to make sure the scenes are in place that will make that moment plausible. First Lightning learned how to accept racing wisdom from somebody else. Then other characters speak truth into his life - like Sally saying that she used to be rich and live a faster pace life but that she was never really happy. And then Doc asking Lightning when the last time was that he did something for somebody else. Both those statements strike a chord with Lightning and set change in motion. We also have the scene at the end of the second act where Lightning buys something from every store in town before he leaves. That gives the viewer a glimpse of how much change has taken place, and it sets us up for his heroic finish. Does your character have a lie they believe at the beginning, and how have they been set free? A great example of this is Pride and Prejudice. Lizzy believes Mr. Darcy is nothing more than a proud, rich dude and that he would prefer to not spend time with her. There's a reason she believes these things and at times there are shades of truth to them. (Which is a great quality in a story lie.) By the end of the book, Lizzy has not only learned the truth about Mr. Darcy and his feelings for her, she has seen her own errors. Like how she was too quick to believe Mr. Wickham and the lies he spread about the Darcy family. Your character's lie needs to be chipped away. Yes, it's great to have that big scene where the lie is obliterated, but you should have several scenes that have prepared your main character and your reader. In Pride and Prejudice, Lizzy is offered several reasons to doubt what she believes about Mr. Darcy. For one thing, he proposed to her. She now can no longer fully believe that the only thing Darcy cares about is his social status, because he never would have proposed to her otherwise. When she sees him so attentive with his sister, she can no longer think him cold and unfeeling. The lie is chipped away until it's obliterated by the measures Darcy goes to when he redeems the reputation of the Bennet family. Is your character's dream tested multiple times? In Pride and Prejudice, Lizzy intends to marry only for love, which in the time the book was set, was a very courageous goal. She is proposed to by Mr. Collins, whom she doesn't even like, but who is to inherit the house they live in when her father dies. Marrying him would ensure security not just for herself but for her mother and four sisters as well. Saying no to him takes a lot of bravery. Again, Lizzy is proposed to. This time by Mr. Darcy, who is considered the most eligible bachelor of all. This is another opportunity to save her family, but Lizzy detests the man, and turns him down. Whatever your character's dream is, make sure you've found several places in the story to test their resolve. This deepens their internal growth and may teach them something about what motivates them. Marrying for love is a noble goal, but Lightning McQueen dreams of being the first rookie to win the Piston Cup due to his desire for fame. During his journey, he's forced to acknowledge that his fame isn't as important as having friends. What happened in your character's past that they need to get over? Many main characters have a dark wound - something that happened in their past that damaged them. Figuring out your character's journey for breaking free of a dark wound can do amazing things for their development. Jill Williamson does a wonderful job of this with Captives. There's a collective dark wound for the brothers - a friend who died in an accidental shooting - plus each brother enters the story with his own dark wound. Omar and Mason have been run down by their father for years because they're not hunters. And Levi has been haunted by a mistake he made with a girl from another tribe. Recovering from the dark wound is a process, and often the dark wound is wrapped in a lie, so your character first has to dig through the lie to find the dark wound before they can start their recovery. These are not mandatory elements of a story, just a few tools you can use to help determine the growth of your characters over the course of the story. Without giving away endings, what are some of your favorite character arcs?

He is a legendary being primarily interpreted as a symbol of rebirth, representing the cycle of new growth that occurs every spring. The Green Man is most commonly depicted in a representation of a face which is made of, or completely surrounded by, leaves. Some speculate that the mythology of the Green Man developed independently in the traditions of separate ancient cultures and evolved into the wide variety of examples found throughout history. There are legends of him in which, like Osiris, he is dismembered and reborn; and prophecies connecting him with the end of time. His is the voice of inspiration to the aspirant and committed artist. He can come as a white light or the gleam on a blade of grass, but more often as an inner mood. The sign of his presence is the ability to work or experience with tireless enthusiasm beyond one’s normal capacities. In this there may be a link across cultures, because one reason for the enthusiasm of the medieval sculptors for the Green Man may be that he was the source of every inspiration. I was about four when I became infatuated with Mythology and through that love, discovered the Green Man, who was not an atypical God, but a being present on the earth which to me was obviously and quite simply the emanation of God overseeing the tasks of Nature. His presence in wild places was, and is still, palpable. At Christmas, he came to life in the form of Father Christmas - a theory which bore itself out through research and study for the parallels are too many to be coincidence. The connection between Santa Claus = Odin = The Green Man is only one of hundreds. The very similar wreaths and look between Father Christmas and the Green Man, both being the giver of gifts. .Where Mother Earth is the vessel which sustains all life and through which all life grows, the Green Man is the overseer, tending to the details of that growth. He is the spiritual warrior charged with defending Mother Earth and caring for Her creature. He embodies the entirety of Her energy, and it is as this powerful warrior soul that I have depicted him. To me, he is the perfect embodiment of God on this Earth, and of the Sacred Masculine. And a perfect beginning to this artistic journey. *** This listing is for one 11X17 Fine Art poster art print, created on premium, thick matte poster stock and rolled in a protective casing.

The New York Times bestselling coauthor of Sex at Dawn explores the ways in which “progress” has perverted the way we live—how we eat, learn, feel, mate, parent, communicate, work, and die—in this “engaging, extensively documented, well-organized, and thought-provoking” (Booklist) book. Most of us have instinctive evidence the world is ending—balmy December days, face-to-face conversation replaced with heads-to-screens zomboidism, a world at constant war, a political system in disarray. We hear some myths and lies so frequently that they feel like truths: Civilization is humankind’s greatest accomplishment. Progress is undeniable. Count your blessings. You’re lucky to be alive here and now. Well, maybe we are and maybe we aren’t. Civilized to Death counters the idea that progress is inherently good, arguing that the “progress” defining our age is analogous to an advancing disease. Prehistoric life, of course, was not without serious dangers and disadvantages. Many babies died in infancy. A broken bone, infected wound, snakebite, or difficult pregnancy could be life-threatening. But ultimately, Christopher Ryan questions, were these pre-civilized dangers more murderous than modern scourges, such as car accidents, cancers, cardiovascular disease, and a technologically prolonged dying process? Civilized to Death “will make you see our so-called progress in a whole new light” (Book Riot) and adds to the timely conversation that “the way we have been living is no longer sustainable, at least as long as we want to the earth to outlive us” (Psychology Today). Ryan makes the claim that we should start looking backwards to find our way into a better future.
