  • The perfection of art is to conceal art by Richard Ellison

    “Open your eyes, what do you see? / I see you and you see me. / I see into you, all the way down / in your soul, happy and sound. / But when I’m away, I find you around / I look in the sea and there you can be found.” ~ RemosPage Sunshine Coast, Queensland

  • Gathering Roses by Julie Marks

    When I first viewed this stunning rose with vibrant colors, I thought I saw two small eyes peering out of the petals deep within the folds. Macro photography has opened up another window and minute things that had ben ignored in nature have become beautiful intricate sources of wonder. I like to see flowers from an intimate view. Few things in nature are as versatile as flowers. You can look at them and be mesmerized by their richness and variety of colors, or you can look at them at close range and be amazed at the delicacy of their abstract design as you enter the unfolding of a new universe. “We can complain because rose bushes have thorns or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.” / Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) “He who wants a rose must respect the thorn.” / Persian Proverb /

  • Love you Forever by Alexia Wardell

  • The Race by Rabi Khan

    The Race Horse in symbolism: / “Horses are considered very spirited, powerful and beautiful animals. They were thought of like brave warriors: highly skilled fighters who loved victory and were miserable when conquered. The horse signifies readiness to act for one’s country.” (So called) Honor killing / An honor killing or honour killing is generally the murder of a female member of a family by the family, when they (and maybe the wider community) believe her to have brought dishonor upon them. A woman can be targeted commonly for: refusing an arranged marriage, being the victim of a sexual assault, seeking a divorce—even from an abusive husband—or committing adultery or fornication. These killings result from the perception that defense of the “family honor” justifies killing a woman whose behavior “dishonors” her family. The killing of a (possibly adulterous) wife by an enraged husband or the killing of a male by the family of (a supposedly dishonored) female is or was common and often condoned in many cultures (e.g. manslaughter). Such a cultural attitude was often reflected in a reduced sentence for such a murder by the judicial system. However the killing of females by their own family members is rare except in tribal[citation needed] cultures of the Middle East and South Asia. Honor killing of female family members is not tied to religion; it occurs among some rural Muslim communities with a strongly feudal tribal culture, among Druze and Christian tribes in some Arab countries and Pakistan, as well as among other South Asian communities, including Hindu and Sikh adherents in India, the United States, United Kingdom and Canada. However, it is much rarer or non-existent in the Muslim communities of most of Central Asia (including Kazakhstan and Kyrghyzstan), Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, sub-Saharan Africa, Malaysia and Indonesia, due to its cultural roots. The United Nations Population Fund estimates that the annual worldwide total of honor-killing victims may be as high as 5,000 women. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia / more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honor_killing “it’s unjustified is that women are oftentimes the carriers of the culture, oftentimes the folks that people look to that carry on the culture from generation to generation. It’s a way for men in these cases to reaffirm and assert their masculinity.” – Ajay Nair, Columbia University Foot Note: Usually I try to depict the beauties of beautiful. A CNN news has changed that, the story was about a honor killing. “The Race” PAINting is the result of my soul hemorrhage since that news. .

  • You 'N' Me by Rabi Khan

    “At day’s end, like hush of dew / Comes evening.

Seely.

  • J'accuse by Gili Orr

    “J’accuse” was featured in the group Surrealism The original work is a pointillistic ink drawing on white paper. / Please tell me if you intend to buy this piece – it may be good as is, but I still plan on high quality scanning… As to the title: / J’accuse (“I accuse”) was an open letter published on January 13, 1898 in the newspaper L’Aurore by the influential writer Émile Zola. The letter was addressed to President of France Félix Faure, and accused the government of anti-Semitism and the unlawful jailing of Alfred Dreyfus, a French General Staff officer sentenced to penal servitude for life for espionage. Zola pointed out judicial errors and lack of serious evidence. The letter was printed on the first page of the newspaper, and caused a stir in France and abroad. Zola was prosecuted and found guilty of libel on February 23, 1898. To avoid imprisonment, he fled to England, returning home in June 1899. Other pamphlets proclaiming Dreyfus’ innocence include Bernard Lazare’s A Miscarriage of Justice: The Truth about the Dreyfus Affair (November 1896). As a result of the popularity of the letter, even in the English-speaking world, J’accuse! has become a common generic expression of outrage and accusation against a powerful person. (Wikipedia) / /

  • Happy Hiking by Jan Landers

    Inspired by my love of hiking….and a camp song I learned as a young child: ’...I’m happy when I’m hiking, pack upon my back. / I’m happy when I’m hiking, off the beaten track. / Out in the open country, that’s the place for me / With a true Scouting friend to the journeys end, / Ten, twenty, thirty, fourty, fifty miles a day…’
