Most people have gone on to Instagram (I set up an account one day to travel over there too, and then forgot my password - such as it is ... at the time I could only upload from my phone, and I didn't have anything to upload from my phone, so time went by and it's easy to forget a password). I'm not all that convinced that I need to be on Instagram. Isn't Twitter, Facebook and several blogs enough?<br /><br />As most of you know, I quit Etsy pretty far back now, and Artfire went out of business during the pandemic. So I started a site on Fine Art America, and then my own site (<a href="http://LiseWinne.net"><b>LiseWinne.net</b></a>) which sells all of the same quality art prints and products as Fine Art America. You can still buy original artwork by contacting me from that site - if it hasn't sold already. <br /><br />And I've made a lot of new art for my site. But I'm having trouble uploading my newest pieces, and there are a lot of them, so I decided to have an art show until I can figure it all out.<br /><br />Oh, the trials of being online: forgotten passwords, inability to upload, glitches with computers, sites down, art that never looks as good on-line as in person, e-mails that get lost or aren't taken the right way ... maybe people should just be meeting face-to-face, and keeping small businesses alive so that not every town looks boarded up. <br /><br />So here are some art pieces that we'll be showing, and also some promotional posters:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I always think about doves, especially this time of year. Plus I seem to be going in a direction of painting white lace-like plants. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I like the purity of it all.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I usually "just paint" what inspires me at the moment. And then look up the symbolism afterward.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I often paint night skies, and I'm not sure why. Maybe I'll figure that out when I stop, and start painting blue skies with a few clouds here and there. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The symbolism for this piece is as follows:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
* dove: messenger for a cause, sacrifice, peace, the spirit<br />* white lace: beginnings, purity, innocence, also beautifying and preparing for something uplifting in your life.<br />* stars: inspiration, intuition, dreams<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then I painted this one too (as I can't get butterflies off the brain):</div>

"Two Butterflies Above the Lace"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
original painting © 2019</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><a href="https://lise-winne.pixels.com/featured/two-butterflies-above-the-lace-lise-winne.html">click here if you are interested in archival prints or products of this image</a></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The symbolism for this one is as follows:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
symbolism:<br />(note on the butterflies: they are white and orange in this piece, so both may apply):<br />* white butterflies: souls of the deceased, guidance, transformation, powerful change, finding ones own free spirit, taking a leap of faith<br />* orange butterflies: a new dawn of healing, end of depression, courtesy and friendliness, staying positive, end of hard times, profound changes from the vantage point of going from the negative to the positive<br />* white lace bouquet: purity, innocence, ever-changing beginnings and endings, the feminine, beautifying, virginal<br />* stars: inspiration, intuition, dreams<br />* night sky: mysteries, unconscious</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After I was finished and looked it all up, it does apply to my life. Some really amazing things have been happening in my life (dreams that have come true, surreal events, things coming together, etc - even my husband is surprised, and he's been through everything, it seems ... it has also been wonderful to take this journey with him and watch his reactions - you have to have a partner to dance with). 2019 seemed like the year of "the new dawn" and "new beginnings". </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'll continue to post when I can. Sometimes living ones life is more all-consuming than reporting on it. I have truly been blessed in a lot of ways.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My portfolio has grown (not in leaps and bounds because a lot of other things have taken precedence), but it is available for viewing <b><a href="https://lise-winne.pixels.com/">HERE</a></b> - the best way to see what is up to date in terms of my art. At some point I'll put up an Instagram (when I have the time! Ha!). </div>

For anyone who is a survivor, whether that be a survivor of cancer, or abuse, or an accident, part of lifting yourself up out of your tragedy is through big changes after giving a lot of thought to what happened to you, and letting different perspectives into your thought patterns.<br />
<br />
Part of transitioning into being a survivor instead of a victim of tragedy is also through transformation.<br />
<br />
The latest transition for me (after changing my environment, then my social circle, then my art, then gaining some perspective, then writing a new blog about the perspectives) was my appearance. <br />
<br />Before my father died, I dressed down an awful lot. When I was a clay artist, it served a purpose in terms of an ability to get clothes dirty from clay, dust, glazes and chemical materials. As a painter, old men's shirts became the apron where I could get paint splattered on them. Men's clothes were also used as a uniform in a series of weird social situations, as a way to be accepted. Hard to explain.<br /><br />And right after my father died in 2013, I lived in his shirts while my own clothes became more and more ill-fitting. It went on for years: my basic attire was his shirts (yes, over-sized men's shirts), long hair, jeans, a fanny pack for a pocketbook, and sometimes a poncho (indoors) if it was cold. Everything was figure-hiding, instead of figure-enhancing.<br />
<br />
Eventually a long discussion with my friend, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Jewelwood-of-Vermont-391982450906134/" style="font-weight: bold;">Cindy Weed of Jewelwood of Vermont</a>,<b> </b>got me to think about the presentation I was making to the art world, and to "the girl withn". I was depressed, and felt overwhelmed by the prospect of changing my wardrobe, so she took on being my fashion expert. She went out and purchased clothes that she felt were flattering on me for everyday wear, and included some dressy things once in awhile too. I still wear them more days than not.<br />
<br />
But I also started thinking about going to work and to art openings in the art world with some nicer clothes, clothes that might fit my style of art, clothes that were a bit more about fantasy, and the Renaissance, and the Celtic. These were art styles I was inspired by, as well as the Lothlorien wear seen in Peter Jackson's <b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lord_of_the_Rings_(film_series)">Lord of the Rings</a></b>. I was already tall like a Lothlorien, had been compared to Cate Blanchette many times (who plays Galadriel), and felt it was time to move on from wearing men's clothes, and my father's shirts every day (although I do wear his shirts around the house in the evenings quite a bit).<br />
<br />
After years, I started purchasing wearables myself, first from Peggy Gray of <b><a href="http://22shadesofgray.com/">22 Shades of Gray</a></b>, who is a local fashion designer, entrepreneur, and friend, and will make clothes for me which are customized, and then eventually from <b><a href="https://holyclothing.com/">Holy Clothing</a></b> (especially sale items - they do have tremendous sales at times where an amazing quality gown will go up for sale for sixty dollars, and the clothes are in the fantasy realm that I like).<br />
<br />
I began modeling for Holy Clothing when they offered a percentage off of purchases for modeling, and I have been featured on their facebook and their website. They like models who pose outdoors. I am "the older model" (most are young, and more interested in the costume line - I tend to go for things I can wear to art openings, and not just to Renaissance Faires, Pagan Festivals, Beltane and the like, although I have purchased some of those items too).<br />
<br />
So I will be putting some links in the side bar to some of those projects, and some of the clothes I have designed, as well as <b><a href="https://lisewinne.blogspot.com/p/photo-shoot-with-lisa-simmons-of.html">the modeling session with Lisa Simmons</a></b>.<br />
<br />
And since I write for a fantasy art blog, and a couple of others, I will be including those latest posts in the side bar too.<br />
<br />
This is a start ...<br />
<br />
More to come ... </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
These are just a smattering of some original ACEOs I have been making (ACEOs are ultra-mini works of art that are 2.5 inches x 3.5 inches - some may be prints and some may be original paintings; mine are originals). </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
These are mostly on sale in galleries in my area (and I have been told that some have sold). I may have some on-line soon too. You can always <b><a href="https://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/home/lisewinne">check my shop</a></b>. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
These particular ones are matted in a 5" x 7" ivory colored mat with the proper ACEO opening. The backs are all signed with name of piece, medium, date and signature, and they all come with a certificate of authenticity. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
ACEOs are very popular, a great way to own an affordable piece of art at a low price (I charge between $15 - $45 usually, especially matted) and if the artist gets famous, they are worth quite a bit more than your original investment.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I hope to have some other pieces to show you soon, more in the home decor line, but some are original paintings too. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I have been told that I should be on Instagram (oh, no, not another social media to post to; I already have too many!). I like blogging, Twitter, Google Plus (when it existed), and to a lesser degree the public Facebook (well maybe not so much these days), and I thought that was enough. What's next? Does everyone really spend that much time on all of these platforms, or do they have a favorite? And most of you work! Do you have to stay up all night to cruise it all and go to work groggy?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As I say, I'll be back soon.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
I have a lot of catching up to do! I have been painting and uploading a lot of art recently, and this is just one of them. More to come!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This piece is in the millefleurs tradition (and is part of my millefleurs series <b><a href="https://lise-winne.pixels.com/collections/millefleurs+paintings">HERE</a></b>). Millefleurs is a French word and means "many flowers". Alternatively it can mean a million flowers, but most art cannot hope to have that number of flowers all in one piece! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Millefleurs works of art became popular during the Renaissance. The most well known are <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lady_and_the_Unicorn">The Lady and the Unicorn series</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hunt_of_the_Unicorn">The Hunt of the Unicorn series</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Renaissance art is imbued with a lot of symbolism. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The fact that The Lady Vanity is small relative to the songbirds near her head and the foliage, is intentional, for instance. It is meant to be an allegory of vanity. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In the usual style of Renaissance art, she is dressed in Renaissance attire, with a cone hat (hennin).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The white bird is a S<span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">apientes</span> Pacis bird, and translates from Latin into Wise Peace bird. They are a species of my own invention, started during <a href="https://lise-winne.pixels.com/featured/spirit-tree-lise-winne.html">this painting</a> from my blue period series. When I draw from my own imagination, such as when I'm gallery sitting and have no materials to reference for a drawing, these kinds of birds keep popping up. I had to decide what they were, and when looking at them, I decided that they had to be related to peace (as they are a bit dove-like, only bigger), and since they were always examining or questioning something in my art creations, I felt they had to be wise too.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Please note: Sapientes is a different word from Serpientes (tongue-in-cheek reference directed at a person who uses allegories and metaphors to hurt others, rather than to help humanity).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Millefleurs represent plenty, freedom from poverty and hunger, and luxury. For me, painting in this style is a backlash and a rebellion against modernist traditions, particularly depicting landscapes, for example, in bright orange and purple, simply rendered broad brush-stroke paintings with boxy buildings and with very little detail or the natural world in them. Why is this the acceptable norm for getting into shows?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If I'm going to bother spending my time making art, I want to either make art with statements and meaning, or art that is lush and full of nature. This piece hopefully has a little of both. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
One reason I like working in the millefleurs tradition is that it affords me "authentic expression". It was the first style of art that brought tears to my eyes (during my first trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art). After that, I wanted to stop pandering to modernist tastes and to try to give something to the world that might last past the present painting traditions.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Morris">William Morris</a> who I highly respect (and see quite a bit of in myself), went "the millefleurs way" too in the 1800s, long after the Renaissance. If he can do it, so can I, yes?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It won't get me in the trendiest places, but customers like it, and they help me going in this direction.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

At some point, I'll find some time to show what I have been working on that is new to my studio and new to my on-line store. The last few weeks, I have been focused on local holiday art shows. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm also showing originals at some galleries. In this series (above), the Night Butterfly painting (a 12" x 12" painting) is at the Micropolis Gallery in Gloversville, NY. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It is rare for these items to go on sale, or to get free shipping, so if you have been thinking about purchasing, this is the time to do it. Happy holidays!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, as you can see, I was invited to show at Micropolis Gallery. The one with the butterfly is a detail of one of my paintings that will be in the show.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The opening is November 2, from 5pm to 7pm. I'll be there, of course.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It is in the town of Gloversville in upstate New York, a place renowned for its glove making back when Americans used to make the attire for the nation. It is also a town that my father and some of his students helped to re-design and revitalize. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Some other artists I know of are Carol Law Conklin, Cheryl Gutmaker, Linda Hinkle, Lynda Naske, Mary Frances Millet and Judith Plotner. These are all really good artists and will also be at the opening. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
See you there!</div>

I have been painting a lot of butterflies as of late. Butterflies are about transformation and a big change. Sometimes they signify hope too. But hope is different from the former two attributes in that it is an emotion with a thought, and perhaps even an idea. In a way, all three parts work in tandem. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Jung believed in the symbolic relevance of animals, places, and things in dreaming and in inspirational states. I don't check on the symbolism usually until after I finish a piece, though I was aware of what the butterfly meant beforehand (it is because I paint them often). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Even so, when you dream of white butterflies at night and paint them during the day, something of significance is being churned in your mind. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In my dreams at night, the white butterflies are clustered on a plant, and there are so many that it is impossible to count them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In my dream last night, many were both clustered, but even more were flying around the cluster in a big white whir, and I was sitting in the woods, trying to figure out why there were so many, and what was happening to make me dream so much about them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
During the day however, I paint just one of them, usually in the center of a piece.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
White butterflies signify healing, release of one's burdens, absolution, purity and purity of intent, along with transformation.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Purple butterflies signify keeping the faith, confidence, assurance and resolve (also with transformation).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So there are both white butterflies going through my mind, and purple butterflies with a lot of white in them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Does the butterfly fit with what I am going through in my life right now? Absolutely. Do I feel confident and full of resolve? Yes. Do I feel unburdened and absolved? Yes, especially in the way of justice and justification. Am I full of hope? Yes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, when you look at a piece, or you are attracted to a piece enough to buy it and put it on your wall, think about whether you can relate to the questions above.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

This is part of a series of bunnies taking naps. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For this one, I had in mind a child's room. The parents are trying to get their little one off to sleep and point to the bunny on the wall: "See how that bunny is sleeping and smiling because he is having a happy dream?" Hint, hint ...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These parents don't really like the usual decor of bright neon colors that a lot of children's rooms have. They want something more subtle, more in the tradition of the Renaissance, or older English illustrations for children's books. So they pick this piece for their child's room.</div>

I tend to think people are attracted to artwork sometimes through the symbolism (subconsciously), and this piece has a lot of positives in that department:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
* white bunny: new perceptions and manifestations; signifies something at work for the highest good <br />
* white butterflies: protection, fortune, messages from the spirit world <br />
* vines: continuity, traditions in ones life <br />
* red tulip-like flowers with thorns: true love, eternal love, undying love, yet with a few protective measures <br />
* small yellow flowers: happiness in the small things, friendship <br />
* purple daisies: dignity, pride, success <br />
* bountiful fauna: material well being <br />

<b><a href="https://holyclothing.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIqayFm76s3QIVUL7ACh3T6wX4EAAYASAAEgLjJ_D_BwE">The Holy Clothing Company</a></b> sent me an e-mail nudging me to <b><a href="https://holyclothing.com/collections/renaissance/products/morgana-embroidered-velvet-dress">write a review with a photo</a></b>, but I don't see an icon for uploading a photo, so I thought I'd put the photo here (if you are a musician like I am, this clothing company might be the perfect place to go to find dresses to perform in).<br />
<br />
I also use this dress for country and small town art gallery openings. I suppose I'd wear it to a wedding too, but I haven't been invited to one for awhile. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The photo was taken <span style="color: #0b5394;">today!</span> out in a field (yes the goldenrod is in full bloom and I am holding some of it -- just beautiful here this time of year).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It is a quasi-Renaissance dress (long) with a low neckline, velvet, a satin-type of fabric (probably rayon) and the kind of fabric that we typically associate with rayon, all with beautiful embroidery throughout. I am bending over, and I look kind of short here, but I assure you that I'm tall, 5' 10".<br />
<br />
The only thing about this company is that the clothes come smelling heavily of dye, so you have to wash it several times to get it out. Mine came with quite a bit more red in it, but calmed down to a nice lilac color.<br />
<br />
I found this company via a lot of my fantasy art friends. It would be perfect for selling art at fantasy art conventions too (just add wings!).<br />

<br />
For anyone new to my blog, this blog is primarily about talking about my music and art, and occasionally about my influences, my life experiences and sometimes about my research as well.<br />
<br />
For those of you from <a href="http://lisewinne.blogspot.com/2014/09/scapegoat-healing.html">the survivor community</a> (of which there seems to be an exponential number), part of my life is devoted to art and music which I feel uplifts the spirit, and gives it more meaning.<br />
<br />
For me spiritual art, fantasy art, and Renaissance music was part of my life since I was a child, and it is what gets me through my days. There are a lot of places, people and events which helped me to survive terrible odds, and the Renaissance community was one of them. I have performed at a lot of Renaissance faires (the innocent smaller ones with lots of children floating around in fairy costumes, blowing bubbles, riding dragons or big Clydesdales, taking part in magic tricks, while the adults seemed to be drawn to the music of the era, archery, costume exhibits and people-chess) and in my upcoming novel I feature the Renaissance faire in a somewhat similar way the minstrels are featured in the Bergman movie, <b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Seventh_Seal">The Seventh Seal</a></b>.<br />
<br />
When I am taken off course, it is the life I always go back to.<br />
<br />
One of the bands who has played a role in my life is <a href="https://www.blackmoresnight.com/home">Blackmore's Night</a> ... in many, many ways (some of which I will explain here). I dress in Renaissance attire when I see them, to show support, but also to be more true to myself (when I was a little girl, as far back as I can remember in almost all of my floating and flying dreams I was dressed in white Renaissance outfits, and it is the way I wanted to dress and be dressed). I cry because I am so touched and moved when I go to the <a href="https://www.metmuseum.org/visit/met-cloisters">Cloisters</a> or the tapestry part of the <a href="https://www.metmuseum.org/">Metropolitan Museum of Art</a>. I get emotional when I hear Greensleeves or an olde <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_Ballads">Child Ballad</a>. I have a compulsion to <a href="http://lisewinne.net/featured/unicorn-with-red-roses-and-butterflies-lise-winne.html">paint unicorns</a> all of the time (the unicorn is a solitary creature who cannot be tamed and is in the habit of fighting for its life and purifying poisons -- fits).<br />
<br />
I like cloaks, <a href="https://www.thedarkangel.com/products/447-poet-shirt">poet's shirts</a>, flowing outfits (much of which I sew myself), and in a pinch, clothes from <a href="https://holyclothing.com/">Holy Clothing</a>. I like flora and fauna and gypsy caravans. I like stained glass and old stone buildings.<br />
<br />
I like being healthy. I am not much of an indulger in modern processed foods and drinks, unless I am on vacation (and even there, I try to find salad joints and Indian restaurants and stay away from booze and caffeine drinks which have more franken-stuff in them than I want to consume -- it's that unicorn in me pointing to poisoned waters no doubt -- LOL).<br />
<br />
I prefer reading (actual books) to television.<br />
<br />
In contrast, I am not a fan of freeways, malls, dry deserts, polyester outfits, neon, and boxy modern glass-infected architecture. Los Angeles is my least favorite city in the USA ("please let me out!"). Maybe that had to do with my father who was a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Urbanism">New Urbanist</a>, but I think it is partly intuitive too: I have a love of the highly decorated and intricate, much of which is lacking in the big cities of the southwest. After all, the natural world is not a factory or loud; it is full of seeds and fruits on lace-like intricate trees with birds singing in them, and it will always juxtapose the boxes and homogenization. It is fine if you want to live in the southwest and I won't be too judgmental about it to the point of obnoxiousness: but for me it feels oppressive. I like moody weather, big trees, meadows, flowers everywhere, or a rolling sea, a little more humidity in the air. It's just my taste.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=they+paved+paradise+and+put+up+a+parking+lot+lyrics&rlz=1C1OPRB_enUS566US566&oq=They+paved+paradise&aqs=chrome.2.0l6.10126j0j8&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8">"They paved paradise and put up a parking lot"</a> -- Joni Mitchell<br />
<br />
A fulfilled life is a life outside of a box, the intricate world of ideas, compassion, emotions and implementation.<br />
<br />
So, I feel like the Blackmores Night die hard fans to be like family. They come marching up the street together (after having met at a local eatery) and I take to my feet in giddy delight to greet them. I have been walking around town beforehand with people stopping me asking me where the Ren-fest is or "What's with the get-up?" I am shy and I like my anonymity on a street (usually). So the fans who go to all of the shows in the northeast are part of not feeling like a freak. I am one of them. Later, when I see costumed maids and faire maidens in the restrooms at intermission, there is a knowing glance and smile between us.<br />
<br />
When Candice (the singer and introducer of songs) mentions that her husband (Ritchie, the producer, conductor, melody maker and main musician) does not like boxes, I can immediately relate, on all kinds of levels.<br />
<br />
The <b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Seventh_Seal">Seventh Seal</a></b> is one of my favorite movies, and for lack of a better comparison, they are a kind of a Seventh Seal type of band (modernized somewhat as one might expect). There is a carnival-like atmosphere to their shows, interspersed with powerful and sensitive songs like "World of Stone" (about fighting for causes), "Ghost of a Rose"(one of my favorites) and "Barbara Allen" (beautiful, lilting). At other times, one almost expects jesters and leaping dancers in chiffon-fairy to pop onto the stage at intervals when the band goes from soft to loud (when Candice gets her <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rauschpfeife">rauschpfeife</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shawm">shawm</a> out).<br />
<br />
Here are the influences of Ingmar Bergman when working on the Seventh Seal (from Wikipedia):<br />
<br />
<i>In his autobiography, <b>The Magic Lantern</b>, Bergman wrote that "Wood Painting gradually became The Seventh Seal, an uneven film which lies close to my heart, because it was made under difficult circumstances in a surge of vitality and delight."<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Seventh_Seal#cite_note-14">[14]</a>...</i><br />
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<i>... Some of the powerful influences on the film were <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pablo_Picasso">Picasso</a>'s picture of the <a href="https://goo.gl/images/4NyE1y">two acrobats</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Orff">Carl Orff</a>'s <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmina_Burana_(Orff)">Carmina Burana</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strindberg">Strindberg</a>'s dramas Folkungasagan ("The Saga of the Folkung Kings") and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_Damascus">The Road to Damascus</a>,<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Seventh_Seal#cite_note-29">[29]</a> the frescoes at Härkeberga church and a painting by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albertus_Pictor">Albertus Pictor</a> in Täby church ...</i><br />
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
Somehow, I tend to think Blackmore's Night can relate to all of that. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And if I look within myself, I can relate to it too (Picasso's acrobats and jester paintings are definitely an influence of mine, as I paint and draw jesters religiously, especially on pottery, and Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana" is one of my favorite pieces of all time). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have been asked "Does Candice ever experience suffering and hardship like the rest of us or is the world just an endless fairy tale?" And my answer to that is that, as in the Seventh Seal, some of us are spared. And that is a good thing. If her life is about joy, this is the type of person who can lead you to joy too (i.e. the path out of darkness and depression). Perhaps her life's purpose is to bring beauty, to help you experience a love of life, a dance in your step, and we need those kinds of people in our world or it would be sore. Again, it's about intricacy and seeds, folks, and the variety, not about placing everyone in the same box you are in.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you think misery loves company, you won't find much misery in their music.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There isn't a band like Blackmore's Night. They are about exploration and the non-traditional, and there isn't a song they do where they don't make that very clear. Ritchie has his dark melancholy side and it hits the light as soon as Candice puts lyrics to it, dances to it, and sings it. When I am asked to describe their music, I say, "Creative Music." If I am asked to explain more it is usually "Mainly influenced by Renaissance music mixed with folk, classical and rock, nothing defined in a definite way, just masterfully done creativity." The person asking the question usually looks puzzled. I would think that an answer like that would get them to one of their shows to see what it is all about.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As for the other band members, my feeling is that they are the best line-up so far. Lady Lynn (as she is referred to) is the classical opera singer who sings harmonies with Candice Night. The 4 octave range is a nice complement to Candice Night's vocals. The fiddler is one of the best on the circuit and has excellent resonance -- wow! The bassist/complimentary guitarist, Earl Grey, has been with them for quite a long time and knows instinctively how to keep up the pace with Ritchie. David, the pianist, adds humor when he can, and adds coloring to the pieces through synths. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I feel that I can relate to them on a deeper level too. <a href="https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/lisewinne2">We perform Renaissance music too</a> (new interpretations), but I like the English composers most (Dowland and Campion) and their often incomprehensible (word salad-y) lyrics about unrequited love. Our take on Renaissance music, however, is quite a bit more annoying to purists than theirs, because Dowland is seen as a great composer, one of the ones who started the whole counterpoint thing and used it religiously, and which we don't always use, and you can't mess with great composers in their eyes, so while we sold a lot of CDs to Europeans, in the USA we didn't get very far with it for live concerts beyond library concert series. As difficult as it was to be sneered at and rejected by purists, I still have a compulsion to work over Dowland's songs. I think the same kind of rebelliousness lives within their hearts too.<br />
<br />
I am part of a family of professional musicians who like to play old instruments including the hammered dulcimer, Celtic harp and lately, the hurdy gurdy. Cello or double bass help to ground it all to the earth, and when needed, provide a drone. So we are committed to Renaissance music. My husband thinks that good traditional music should be played so that it doesn't disappear, that it always should be accessible to new generations. I'm not sure how that fits in with my vision to be creative with old songs, but we get along and we don't butt heads, so there is compatibility with both perspectives, at least as far as the two of us are concerned.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you are a believer in astrology, I found that everything in my chart was aspected to everything in Candice's chart with many in exact degrees, most of it positively aspected (her chart happens to be on-line somewhere, or once was). Very unusual, in fact so uncommon as to be freakish. Since Ritchie's chart is also aspected to just about everything in Candice's chart too, also in the same kind of once-in-a-lifetime way, I have more than the common amount of aspects with his chart as well. Right now I don't know if we have an unbelievable amount of things in common, but I do know the commonalities we share in music and in being creative people. If astrology has any clout at all, there would practically be lightening bolts of understanding and psychic connection with them. It would be a good test to see if astrology <i>really works</i> on any level. "Like attracts like", but I also know what it is like to be approached when you are a performer, and especially a singer -- you don't need connections forced on you when you are in "work mode", that's for sure, having been in that position myself, so it will happen organically if it is meant to happen at all. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In the meantime sharing visions with people who are on the same kind of curcuit has been rewarding: Owain Phyfe, Lisa Lynne, Laurie Ann Haus and other "ethereals" and musicians who are part of bringing Renaissance music forward, and fantasy artists Lisa Hunt, Ann Marie Tornabene, Paulina Cassidy, Andrew Gonzalez, Susan Schroder, Suzanne Gyseman, and others who inspire me. And of course there is the Harper and the Minstrel, who from long ago, welcomed us (Spirites Consort) with open arms. They are all kindred spirits and if I died tomorrow, I would be happy to have made only those personal connections.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Profound connections lead to healing and great understanding, all necessary in life, and the connections juxtapose those who would judge you and stick you in roles (the kind of boxes of projected judgments and false imprisonments of narrow minded narcissism). All souls want to be understood and free. All souls want to see someone at intermission who gives that knowing smile. And all souls want to vibrate to a kind of music where it helps them understand more about the world and their place in it. For me, Blackmores Night opens up the gates of awareness in many ways, and I just have to sit in a theater, even in the last aisle if I have to, to have them effect me in that way.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
APP PHOTO OF MOI: makeup and airbrushed to make me look like a magazine model<br />
If you want to try out their APP, <b><a href="https://viralemon.com/apps/post-2864">CLICK HERE</a></b> to do it</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So, I had some fun with an app one night that makes one look like a magazine model. It's floating around, and a lot of people I know have tried it. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There are a lot of these kinds of apps these days: what you'd look like if you were a man, for instance. Never tried it. In fact, I never try any of them because downloading an app usually means a lot of unwanted junk gets loaded onto your computer and then you find that you often want to remove it (if you know how to). </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In the original photo I'm not wearing any make-up at all, not a speck of it, so what I look like with makeup is accurate. The airbrushing is what takes away the details of your face: the subtle dimples on the side of my face, the few extra lines under my eyes, the higher plumper cheek bones that I have, and everyone I know who has tried the app says it whitens the eyes around the pupil. Yup. But I understand that this is what is done to fashion models and to Hollywood stars posing for magazines. Glam is all of the rage.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Would I be happy with the results if it was for an actual magazine shoot? Probably, as a photo, but I actually hate to wear make up. I don't like the way it feels, and mostly I feel phony and not myself when I have it on. Close-up, too, eyelashes clump together in a kind of shiny gooey way. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For performing on stage, I do wear a brown eyeliner and a lipstick that matches my own lip color which is naturally a rosy color (the lipstick smooths out the color). </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Here is another photo (taken from the photo in my banner atop this page) -- again, in the original photo I am not wearing any make up at all, and yes, my side dimples aren't apparent in the mag one either:</div>

Keeping up with the direction of my newest body of work is this piece, called "Streak". Actually the horse's name is Streak. He is leaping through the night sky.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I would categorize this piece as storybook art.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Symbolic meanings in the piece:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
* horse: balance of wisdom and power<br />
* white horse: transformation, beginning and ending, freedom without restraint, purity, sometimes a sign of wealth and prosperity <br />* white heart: purity in love <br />* stars: inspiration, intuition, dreams <br />* vines: the eternal, infinity <br /><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">

If you have been <b><a href="http://lisewinne.blogspot.com/2017/09/art-show-inspired-by-spirit-with-marina.html">reading along</a></b>, you know that <a href="http://www.marinapetro.com/main_page.html"><b>Marina Petro</b></a> and I have a show at Valley Artisans Market in Cambridge, NY. These are some of the pictures that a fellow artist, <b><a href="http://22shadesofgray.com/">Viola Peggy Gray</a></b>, took of us with our work. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The show is up until October 24, 2017 (the gallery is open from 10 - 5 every day except Monday).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is a nice opportunity to see my pieces together as I tend to scatter them one piece at a time around to local galleries afterward. It is also a nice opportunity to see Marina's work together before she puts them for sale on-line. There is nothing like seeing originals up close!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Why with <b><a href="http://www.marinapetro.com/main_page.html">Marina Petro</a></b>? I have know Marina since I was 20 years old. Marina and I share a passion for the spiritual in our work. Marina is a clairvoyant, an ultra empath and what I would term as highly evolved, a type of person the world needs more of. She is also a very talented artist, as many people who are moved towards the spirit, and of awareness, tend to be. She has several different styles including her <b><a href="http://www.marinapetro.com/fine_art_prints_giclees_cards.html">angel and spiritual work</a></b>, her bold and bright <b><a href="http://www.marinapetro.com/bold_and_colorful_abstract_outsider_art.html">in the zone series</a> </b>and her very popular <a href="http://www.marinapetro.com/gallery-of-still-life-paintings-by-marina-petro.html" style="font-weight: bold;">still life series</a>. To see more of her styles, go <b><a href="http://www.marinapetro.com/marina_s_art_galleries.html">HERE</a></b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In many ways our interests run parallel as well, in that I also enjoy making still lifes called <b><a href="http://lisewinne.net/collections/bouquet+series+and+leaf+series">the bouquet series</a></b> (which also includes food, although mine is in photography) and <b><a href="http://lisewinne.net/collections/semi+abstract+paintings+and+drawings">bold abstract work as well</a></b> (with my signature doves: note -- I am still uploading pieces, but it gives you an idea).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I like to think that we are kindred spirits in art.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

I also discuss why I make the kinds of pieces that I make, how it is connected to the spiritual, how it ties into being a messenger of peace and a voice for survivors and the vulnerable, and what the symbols mean in my work (bunnies, doves, white trees and Tarot figures).</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My artist statement for the show:</div>
<i>I found that through 32 years of selling art, clients who purchase particular pieces of art are unconsciously attracted to the symbolism present in the pieces. When they are made aware of what the piece is conveying, using Jungian concepts, Tarot-type meanings and typical spiritual dream symbolism across cultures, they often identify with these symbols in their present lives or self.<br /><br />In my own work, I use doves to represent spirit. They also represent peace, of course. But in many cultures, the dove is also a messenger to sacrifice oneself to a higher cause, to purify oneself of lower agendas and to acquire devotion to a cause, people or persons. It is a call to more awareness, to seeing spirit and meaning in everything. When an art work has doves combined with other spirit animals, the dove is part of the overall meaning or story of the piece.<br /><br />Noticing spirit is not something bestowed upon "special people", but rather a kind of noticing "everything as much as possible" perception. I like to think that all living things have an awareness, from the sickly trampled on weed growing in the sidewalk cracks to the spoiled King. Once we are aware of spirit in everything then compassion, peace and learning lessons become life goals. It is easy to hate that which we don't understand, but once we are open to understanding, then compassion is all that can exist. Peace and compassion are also about nurturing and promoting life and giving up on ideas of destruction. When we are at peace with the beings around us, that is also when we notice their spirit.</i><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Why bunnies and doves?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
To me bunnies represent the vulnerable: children, survivors of abuse, the disabled, and so on. They have a lot to overcome in dodging predators, but they do. As many of you know, I write another blog for survivors of abuse right here on blogspot called <b><a href="https://angry-alcoholics.blogspot.com/">"Misadventures with Angry Alcoholics, Bullies and Narcissists"</a></b>, so when I make these art works, I am thinking about survivors of abuse first and foremost.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
But, what about the dove? How does that relate? They typically represent spirit, peace, sacrifice, purification. But they are also the messengers for peace, which is very much about what writing the blog is for me. The promotion of kindness, empathy and thoughtfulness is what will evolve the human race from <b><a href="https://angry-alcoholics.blogspot.com/2015/04/what-are-types-of-abuse-scapegoating.html">abusive tendencies</a></b> (people who intentionally hurt other people), <b><a href="http://angry-alcoholics.blogspot.com/2017/04/narcissists-and-children.html">narcissism</a></b>, <a href="https://www.domesticshelters.org/domestic-violence-articles-information/perspecticide-erased-by-your-partner#.WcljAbKGOzc"><b>perspecticide</b></a>, <b><a href="http://angry-alcoholics.blogspot.com/2016/03/do-people-who-have-been-brought-up-to.html">war</a></b> and <b><a href="https://angry-alcoholics.blogspot.com/2017/09/shaming-from-abusers-narcissists.html">shaming</a></b> (shaming being an act of prejudicy -- and yes, this can and does include parents doing this to children as well) ... note: all of the highlighted links go to blogs I have written and illustrated except the one on perspecticide. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
In "The Attraction", there is also a cat, bats and a tree. In mythology, the cat represents rebirth, resurrection and unpredictability and may have other "agendas" in being attracted to the doves, although it is white (the color of purification) too. Bats typically represent death and life, endings and beginnings, transitions. The white tree represents a connection to our true identity, revolutionary wisdom, enlightenment. The whole piece is about being attracted to our higher natures, about communicating peace and spiritual motives, accepting transitions (endings and beginnings), to form a revolutionary new wisdom about ones place in the world. </div>

The Magician in tarot symbolism is someone with skill who can manifest change in a "magical way". He has the ability to transform, to pull together resources, skills, and tools. He is close to the creative source, and has the ingenuity to make dreams come true, the power to attract an audience, the power to display knowledge and thought (sometimes esoteric). He has integrity and is a leader of sorts ... Since this magician is a type of rabbit, he will also have some of the symbolism of the rabbit (i.e. a survivor, even if previously vulnerable to prey). The magician is signified by the number one. One is the trail-blazer, the originator, the creator.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The jester in tarot symbolism is someone who is a word-smith, who speaks in riddles or non-sequiturs to keep from being beheaded by a king or queen. He (or she -- this one is a "she") can get away with being very, very wise (a kind of canary in the coal mine), of speaking his mind because he is not seen as a threat because he is deemed as "foolish" after all. People who want perspectives they can take or leave often prefer the fool or jester. The jester can take "wild thought and verbal leaps" into the unknown because he is aware that the audience is tentative and dismissively fearful at best. The jester is also signified by the number zero. The reason he is zero, is because he is not part of the intrigues at court; he is not a political figure; he does not represent any kind of an agenda because he is not a player "in the game". He is not "connected". He is just this wise messenger, this poet, who people choose to listen to or not to listen to, depending on their mindset. Thus he often also represents the unconscious.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The jester can be an inspiration to the Magician. People who start out as jesters can also end up as magicians. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In this piece, the jester tries to make a grab for the wand first.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The wand signifies manifesting and channeling magic or energy, the power to change, transform, protect or do good, the tool of a champion or authority.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The doves are over each of their heads. This signifies messages of peace as all of the other works do.</div>

In this piece there are a lot of doves. There is a bunny safely nestled into an opening of tree roots, and one outside to see the display of doves. Again, the white tree symbolizes a connection to our true identity, revolutionary wisdom and enlightenment. This one has no bark (except its roots are a bit "dirty" from the ground), thus a "spirit tree" giving a home to the doves (and to the message of peace). </div>

The dove has all of the meaning and symbolism of the last piece, except this one is celestial. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The idea behind this piece is that the world is not just black and white (i.e. made up of villains and saints). That goes for how human beings are too. The dove shows us that peace is in the rainbow world of colors. He breathes and speaks about colors and of life. The sanctity of life and relationships can only come about through peace.</div>

Finding an end to abuse and domestic violence is the same as finding a way to end war and destruction. Domestic abuse is usually about <b><a href="https://angry-alcoholics.blogspot.com/2017/09/shaming-from-abusers-narcissists.html">bigotry/shaming</a></b> of a family member (that is the reason for the insults and vilification; this is usually how domestic abuse starts).</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The next one up, the bunny is in a cocoon, healing, and in the protection of the roots of the tree. The piece is called "Bunny Nap in Tree Roots" to appeal to a wider audience, but to me, the meaning goes deeper than that. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Doves fly overhead. Doves, again, represent peace, devotion, the spirit, sacrifice, messenger, purification. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I like to think that the bunny, after his restorative sleep, will awaken to a new life as peace-maker, as a messenger of the spirit, and will have pure intent. Often because of the horrific experience of abuse, survivors are generally also doves (they want peace and harmony in their own lives, and they want peace and harmony to prevail in the world). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The symbol of the butterfly is resurrection, transformation, hope and deep change. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In other words, after the bunny restores and is healed, he is deeply changed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The symbol of the tree in this piece is: knowledge, nourishment, sustenance, the giver of life. </div>

I have some big news to tell (on all fronts, including my music), but there are still some fantasy art pieces I am still listing in <b><a href="http://lisewinne.net/index.html?tab=galleries">my shop</a></b>. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So I will take some time to list them here before revealing my new direction and, for all intents and purposes, "my new life."</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
The "September Unicorn" original is available at a gallery at the moment. I can always take it out if you are interested in purchasing it. Contact me if you are interested: sales((att))LiseWinne.com. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As for symbolism:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
I have noticed that when talking to clients, they identify with the symbolic meanings as describing themselves. What a great discovery! I will describe what that means, but first, the symbolism itself:<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<u>unicorn</u>: purity, innocence, spiritual messages, enlightenment, magic. The unicorn has been known to be an independent creature of high intelligence who swoons at the sight of a fair maiden who is pure of heart, and to even fall asleep in her lap. The unicorn's horn has been known to purify water. The unicorn was described during Renaissance times as an extremely wild woodland animal that was independent and could not be tamed. <br />
<br />
<div>
<u>full moon:</u> the feminine, peak of clarity in a subtle way, reflection on events, insight from dreams <br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<u>vines</u>: continuity, tradition, eternity (note here that the vines are going dormant) <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I often find that a client who is attracted to this piece enough to purchase it is usually a woman who is independent and of high intelligence, cannot be tamed, feels an attraction to the occupation of healing, is perceptive, and who likes the company of other beautiful women like herself who are pure of heart. She is likely to be against the DAPL pipeline or other causes where pollution of water is an issue. She is reflective and clarifies matters for others in a non-ostentatious way, gets insight and creative ideas from dreams, and may respect tradition even if it might be going dormant within her soul for a time (or she may be breaking with tradition altogether depending on whether she wants to cycle back into the traditions prevalent in her life).<br />

<b><br /></b></div>
When you work for a fantasy artist's group, it is hard not to be inspired! I write for a fantasy art blog <b><a href="http://faafantasyart.blogspot.com/">HERE</a> </b>and administer the group <b><a href="https://fineartamerica.com/groups/fantasy-art-for-home-and-office.html">HERE</a></b>.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is kind of out of the realm of art I make these days (I have been working hard on a series of paintings, which still count as fantasy art, but aren't like this piece), but I always enjoy branching out and having diversions. It makes me a better artist.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway, this is a piece made entirely from my own photos. It is basically a photo collage. These two little girls were at a street fair. The background with the bunny is practically in my backyard (yes, there are an overwhelming number of bunnies around here, and they have attracted some eagles, a rarity in these parts). And then the flowers range from gardens in Maine to upstate New York. The wings are my own creation. </div>
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here is the general description of this listing:<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>Two little girl fairies with blonde hair are in a flower mobile. In the background is a rabbit chewing on something good to eat, completely unperturbed by the fairies. There are also some fairy orbs and additional flowers in the background. On the top of the fairy mobile is a big orange butterfly. <br /><br />This listing includes tee shirts, greeting cards, mugs, pillows and bed covers in this design. <br /><br />Might look great in a child's room, nursery, playroom or patio. <br /><br />Symbolism: <br />* fairies: a legendary or supernatural nature spirit from Europe. Fairies have wings in many varieties, and are typically found with light orbs. According to Wikipedia: "The word 'fairy' was used to represent an illusion, or enchantment; the land of the Faes; collectively the inhabitants thereof; or an individual such as a fairy knight." Magic, enchantment, a deep connection with the natural world and the spiritual world. <br />* rabbit: fertility, the feminine, abundance, luck, comfort, vulnerability <br />* purple flowers: dignity, success, spirit <br />* pink flowers: happiness, love <br />* orange flowers: heartfelt sincerity <br />* white flowers: modesty, innocence, spiritual <br />* yellow flowers: joy, light-heartedness, happiness <br />* butterfly: transformation, change, the spirit</i></div>

This is just a quick post to introduce you to a new blog that I started called "Fantasy Art for the Home and Office" ... view-able <b><a href="http://faafantasyart.blogspot.com/">HERE</a></b>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It is about a group of fantasy artists on the Fine Art America site and the art they make. I am the administrator of that group. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The blog is made with a separate account, so you will not be able to see it via <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/profile/06266942951190435796">my profile</a></b>. You will have to come back to this post, for now to get the link. The reason I went with a different account is that I may not always want to run it, or I may not be able to for what ever reason, and this way I can hand over the reins to someone else without it being muddied up with my profile, and my other blogs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We also have a Google Plus account <b><a href="https://plus.google.com/113111297087178633667">HERE</a></b>. If you love fantasy art, think about following us on that platform.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have been trying to launch a Twitter site for the group too, though that is proving difficult (I already have 3 Twitter accounts; this one would be a fourth one, and I'm running out of e-mails to use -- perhaps it is all too much). So I may choose Instagram instead, we'll see.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have at least 6 new art pieces to post that I completed recently.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Until then ...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Every year Cambridge, NY has a holiday theme and the little shops that dot the main drag take part in some way. Our gallery, Valley Artisans Market, also takes part in the theme. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This year's theme was France and this is my interpretation of the theme. It is loosely based on the folk art of France, but it is also consistent with many other paintings I have been working on and will be showing in galleries and art centers in my area starting in 2017. This is the only folk art piece in the series, but it is close enough to "my style" (the style I show in my part of the country, at any rate).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is not a very big painting. It is approximately 7" across and on wood. Hopefully it also has some elements of the holiday too.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Here is a mini painting I made (even smaller), approximately 4.5" across on wood:</div>
