The right exposure is critical to ensuring images have impact and don't appear washed out. You may not realise, there is no such thing as correct exposure.

Just a few days after the resurrection energies of Easter, we moved into the final surge of the massive purification energies that began with the 2020 collective timeline. These Light influxes have been designed to completely awaken the collective and purify the collective Light Body enough to raise the entire collective consciousness into the bandwidths of unity consciousness. Since the 2020 collective timeline energies began to arrive in November of 2019 and until now, these Light influxes have been non-stop and have increased significantly each step of the way. They were designed this way to literally move the collective through the bandwidths of the third and fourth dimension with increasing speed in preparation for the Master Build of New Earth to begin.

3 pack spiritual artwork depicting the shedding of the old and embracing the new, drawn and created during the dark days of the pandemic when trying to find some light at the end of the tunnel and emerging with a lot of personal and spiritual growth. I hope it can bring out the same feelings I felt when making them :)

Near-death experiences seem mystical, but science can explain some of these phenomena.

Fort Gaines, located on Dauphin Island, has quite a few photographic opportunities. The photograph above was taken in one of the various tunnels that wrap around the entire fort. When I visited the fort, some of these tunnels were flooded, due to a large influx of rain. I originally shot this photo in color, with my 10-22mm lens, but upon further review, I felt it would present better as a tinted black and white photograph, as most photos with mixed light sources tend to look better in black and white.

Grief is how we love in the face of loss, wrote Joan Sutherland in the Fall 2019 issue of Buddhadharma. Now, in this new time of so much loss, her teaching on coming to terms with grief feels especially relevant.

There is a perfectly still moment right before dawn when the sun gathers itself & then steps into the dark world & everything is so filled with light that any doubts from that long night are barely a memory. It is the way of all things that the night ends & the light returns. The light always returns. originally created by Kai Skye in 2015, this watercolor version was created by Kai on July 12, 2021. available in two different versions

Typical of Etchells’ neon works, End of Story is based on an apparently strong, even definitive assertion, that is left to hang as a question, implicating the viewer in a set of unspecified doubts and assertions. We are at the end of a story, apparently, but we don’t know which story it is. About Tim […]

I was doing my normal thing last night working quietly on my computer at 8:00 PM when I heard my front door open and the alarm go off and then the door immediately close. To say I was freaked out …

J. R. R. Tolkien quote about darkness from The Return of the King: “in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”

[He was] a person who struggled with balancing the competing forces of the Light and the Dark, and whose quest for perfection showed him that he was, above all, a complex of contradictions, and that...

Today feels like it should be the weekend. I feel like I should lock myself into my studio and paint. It's very stormy and cold outside. Very very dreary. My favorite, minus the snow. But even then, it's nice to look at. This weather is the most inspiring to me. I could make myself a nice warm drink, turn on my favorite music, and paint. Lately I've been focusing on my Quote Paintings. I love the whole process. Layering the canvas with all sorts of things, then picking the quote that I feel would be perfect for it. The quote that means something to me. I'm going to try to explain why I choose the quote I did a little bit more often.. So people can understand what it means to me. I first came across this quote while I was living across the country, and very alone. I was in a pretty bad relationship, and doing what I could to get the money to travel home. One thing I would do to stay positive, was to remind myself, that I was indeed on my way to brighter days. "On My Way To Brighter Days" became almost like a mantra to me.. a reminder to keep going. This painting includes real vintage lace, antique book pages, tissue paper, crackle paint, stucco, paint, love, and so much more. It's on an 8x10x.5 stretched canvas, and the sides are painted to match the painting, making it ready to hang. Of course, prints will be sold in the shop as well. This is the song I always sang to Mowgli. He really was my Sunshine. The one who got me through so much. It's been nearly a year since he passed away, and tears still sting my eyes at the thought of him. I created this painting, with these words, because I'm not the only person who has a Sunshine in their lives. Everyone deserves a little reminder, that they are your Sunshine.. or perhaps you need a reminder that you are someones. This one was done with tissue paper, crackle paint, antique paper, old book pages, and so much love. Though the original has a very very special meaning to me, I am still putting it up for sale, along with prints. It's on an 8x10x.5 stretched canvas, and the sides are painted to match the painting, making it ready to hang. "Even in the darkness, the smallest star will shine." This quote has been on my desktop for nearly two years. It's one of my favorites. To me, it means that this world can be a nasty place. Our lives can be full of hardship and worries.. but inside each of us, is the light of a billion stars, and it's up to us to shine. Our light can inspire others, and light up the whole world. Even just a smile on a bad day. This one was created with vintage books, antique paper, tissue paper, gesso, crackle paint, and like the others.. lots of love. It's on an 8x10x.5 stretched canvas, and the sides are painted to match the painting, so it's ready to hang. I'm putting the original and prints up for sale in the shop. I'm hoping to have these three paintings listed by tonight.. Something about sharing my favorite quotes, a nd giving the story, or explanation of why they are my favorite... just made me so happy. It gave me quite the warm feeling in my heart. Hopefully tomorrow I will have even more to show you.
