In this post, I take a closer look at Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog by Caspar David Friedrich. It is an iconic work of Romanticism that features a man standing on the edge of the rocky terrain, looking out over the foggy landscape. I cover: Caspar David Friedrich, Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog,

Collaboration with the beautiful Rachael. This girl helped me out when I was in a really dark place tonight, I swear she is one of my favorite people in the world. We decided to shoot this on a whim, Her taking her half of the photo, and me taking mine. I couldn't be happier with it. It means a hell of a lot to me. We will be meeting up in summer to shoot for real, and I cannot wait.

It makes sense to me that Cleopatra had a cat--probably had many of them since cats at the time were considered sacred. In fact, two feline goddesses were worshipped during Cleopatra's time--Mafdet, goddess of protection of dangerous animals and Bastet, the cat goddess of beauty, women and fertility. Pictured in this painting, "Cleopatra" by John William Waterhouse is Beketaten, the royal cat to Cleopatra. Okay, so I had a little digital art fun and added a cat to the painting. Note the dark expression on Cleopatra's face--very intriguing! This beautiful piece is a digital art composite of actual photographs of the family cats taken by the artist, Kathleen Horner.

Round two on the floors at the new Reading store had Colin taking over completely after about 5 hours of squatting and shifting across the floor. I couldn't take it anymore! My knees and butt were worn out and any muscles found in the gluteus maximus were being rediscovered with a vengeance and they begged me to be kind and knock it off!! So at about 4 in the afternoon I switched to ragging the walls. At least I could stand and climb a ladder and when I got down low I could plop onto the ground and sit on my fanny. This pic was taken by hubby as he stopped by to see our progress around dinner time...I think he was looking for his wife but she was no where to be found. While Colin continued on the slow going cobblestone creation I got to the ragging~there was a lot of ponytail flying and hands moving in quick motions. I ragged the walls with smears of Chalk Paint® in Country Grey and Paris Grey. Spritzed with a water bottle and then ragged the mixture across the wall doing two foot sections at a time. You hardly use any paint doing this technique and it gives such an atmosphere~and its fun! Hubby took his mom along for the ride and here she watches her daughter in law make something new look old. I am not quite sure she gets this idea...haha! Colin and I were out the door so early and we were determined to get the cobblestones done. But we underestimated how time consuming it is to faux every cobble....and so after many hours of doing the squats I switched to the walls. This picture is so funny because I have my gym pants on backwards!! And I didn't even realize it...that is how much in the zone I get when I open a store. I am so focused on getting there and doing stuff that I will find myself wearing mismatched socks and in this case backwards pants! Anyway, the walls were coming along nicely~ And quickly! Colin shows off the colors we used for the cobbles~French Linen and Paris Grey. This was our system when we worked together...see my "knee pad resting station" right there? Its a folded over drop cloth. Anyway, I start by laying out the cobbles sponges after rolling them with paint, and then Colin follows along and adds smears and swipes of French linen and Graphite and then sponges it in. Very simplistic, but what a great effect when you are standing up looking at it~! I made a little rolling cart with a box to hold the paint so I could push it along the floor. You have to think of ways to make life easier on jobs like this. By the end of yesterday we got this far~half the floor and half of a wall...its getting there. But here is the kicker: I scheduled our family vacation a year ago for this coming week, having no idea I would be opening a store. Ugh. So today I leave for a vacation and Colin and Justin are going to complete the store or do as much as they can. So til then both you and I will be in the dark and have to wait to see how it all comes out!!!! OMG!!! Can I walk away and give up this much control? I will try my best~

This is a fine art print of my original oil painting, "Transform". Inspiration: "In order for a seed to achieve its greatest expression, it must come completely undone. The shell cracks, its insides come out, and everything changes. To someone who does not understand growth, it would look like total destruction." - Cynthia Occelli The flower I chose to incorporate into this painting is called "Lily of the Valley", or also know as "Lady's Tears". It is famous for its sweet smell, but also lethal poison. I wanted this flower to be a metaphor for things in life often being misleading. Pain can feel destructive, but what if it those pains are signs of internal transformations taking place? PLEASE READ: Prints 8.5" x 11" have an even 1/4" white border around all edges.

This is one I am not going to even try to quantify - either you’ll get it, or you won’t. But where it comes from is some place beyond words, in the depth of me where the knowing resides. It is a song of the spirit that many of us hear, and it’s been with us since birth. It guides our lives and path, that we are here for something far greater, and many of us spend our entire lives seeking it out. It is the search for the ineffable that exists beyond everything we know. Our raison d’etre. We get glimpses of it during our lives, something touches it’s resonance, we touch the hem of it - and we know that we know that we know. And we know that we know that they know. It is deep calling unto deep. And there are others hearing that same song, feeling that same pull, and though we are all of that same source, our corporeal senses are not always engaged so that we easily recognize that this isn’t just a subjective, singular experience. That there are others, and even within our reach, was the inspiration and impetus for it, however. As a reminder that at any given moment, the woman next to us may be feeling and reacting to this same sense-beyond-sense. It is where we live and move and have our being. It escapes all ability to encapsulate it into something completely coherent, and yet. “For I see through a glass darkly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; but then shall I know, even as also I am known.” No, we are not alone. . *** This listing is for one 8X10 gallery print, set in an archival 11 X 14mat, signed. It is titled and dated on the back, and comes encased in a protective cellophane sleeve.

An etching from a series of satires made by painter Francisco Goya. It shows Goya having fallen asleep at his work station, plagued in a nightmare by owls and bats. The painting will activate when the user falls asleep while working. It will cause repeated night terrors that will constantly awaken the person out of fear. They will become extremely tired but unable to fall asleep and will dread work. They will also become more disgruntled and become annoyed with all winged animals.
