Anais Nin put it beautifully when she said,

 Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.”

Enjoy!!

Art Challenge #57- Paranormalcy

October 22nd, 2011 · 4 Comments

My logic tells me it isn’t real,
so why then ‘scared’ do I feel?

A dark shadow moves on the wall,
but no one  is  standing in the hall.

Things that bump and eyes that glow,
terrifying things …I don’t want to know.

Now I lay me down to sleep,
protect me from  things …that  creep.

The Members of The Artist Challenge present a HAUNTED little COLLECTION we call
“PARANORMALCY” – Gallery #57

Random thoughts and diverse vision.

A ‘No Theme- Theme’ is all we mean.
An insightful gathering that dares to be seen.

Art Challenge #55- My So Called Life

September 3rd, 2011 · 4 Comments

I once applied for a life online
Sadly however, I was declined
They told me I was not eligible
Because my application was not legible
Their words cut through me like a knife
Ode de ooooh…MY SO CALLED LIFE!

CONGRATULATIONS go out to our own RUSTY HARDEN. Rusty is the winner of
“The 2011- OLIVE BOYD AWARD.”
(The painting Rusty submitted was originally created for this Challenge gallery “My so called life” and CAN BE SEEN HERE.)

The Themed Juried Art Exhibit is in memory of artist ‘Olive Boyd’ and presented to the artist who’s work has the strongest narrative and design elements. The exhibit’s subject was “It’s My Life.” Rusty’s painting was so emotionally provocative one viewer was brought to tears. You’re our shinning star, Rusty.
