Where Angels Come To Pass

My piece is based on a real life memory of when I was in my late teens/early twenties living at home with my parents still. We lived on a hill in the Mount Lofty Ranges, in South Australia, surrounded by trees and paddocks. Our property was about half an acre, but the open air didn't mean much to me when I was so far from everything else.

So I found myself sitting beneath one of the glorious Almond Blossom trees at the top of the property, this particular tree stood alone and I would often sit underneath it with my shadowy friends. At that time Kahn - a Great Dane and Paddington a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. And we would just sit there and enjoy each others company. Paddy and I had a very special connection, I think that is why I have chosen to call this piece "Where Angels Come to Pass".

[In reality the tree is much smaller then this, more rounded.]

I wrote an accompanying poem...

Alone, as if by force of nature
we stand before the evergreen beauty
awaiting it's virginal Spring...

Pale, snowflake petals
dust the dewy earth
you follow in my shadow
my four legged friend

As we await the rising of another dawn
and the setting of another sun

your living in this world
had never really begun

Appreciation of Stocks

[NB. I did work from these stocks but you can't really see them any more, I guess the point of manipulations.]

:iconcastock: "Dead Tree" this tree I spent ages on and I have kept the transparent image just incase I need to use another big tree some time, which I do plan to. ;)
:iconcat-in-the-stock: "Garden 9 Medieval"
:iconwillowgayle-stock: "Tapestry_1" A few of the angels
:iconilharess-stock: "Stock_0004" Geraldton Wax flowers I think they are - the basis for some of my blossoms.

POST EDIT:
Grrrr at these annoying phamtom "maintenance" things right when I finish writing eveything ready to submit and I lose it ALL. That's what makes me want to go find some other web art community.
