Cologne Cathedral (German: Kölner Dom, officially Hohe Domkirche St. Peter und Maria, English: High Cathedral of Sts. Peter and Mary) is a Roman Catholic church in Cologne, Germany. It is the seat of the Archbishop of Cologne (currently CardinalJoachim Meisner), and is under the administration of the Archdiocese of Cologne. It is renowned as a monument of Christianity, of German Catholicism in particular, of Gothic architecture and of the continuing faith and perseverance of the people of the city in which it stands. It is dedicated to Saint Peter and the Blessed Virgin Mary. The cathedral is a World Heritage Site, one of the best-known architectural monuments in Germany, and Cologne's most famous landmark, described by UNESCO as an "exceptional work of human creative genius".[1] It is Germany's most visited landmark, visited by 20,000 people every day.[2]
Construction of Cologne Cathedral began in 1248 and took, with interruptions, until 1880 to complete. It is 144.5 metres long, 86.5 m wide and its towers are approximately 157 m tall.[3] The cathedral is one of the world's largest churches and the largest Gothic church in Northern Europe. For four years, 1880-84, it was the tallest structure in the world, until the completion of the Washington Monument. It has the second-tallest church spires, only surpassed by the single spire of Ulm Minster, completed 10 years later in 1890. Because of its enormous twin spires, it also presents the largest façade of any church in the world. The choir of the cathedral, measured between the piers, also holds the distinction of having the largest height to width ratio of any Medieval church, 3.6:1, exceeding even Beauvais Cathedral which has a slightly higher vault.[4]
Cologne's medieval builders had planned a grand structure to house the reliquary of the Three Kings and fit its role as a place of worship of the Holy Roman Emperor. Despite having been left incomplete during the medieval period, Cologne Cathedral eventually became unified as "a masterpiece of exceptional intrinsic value" and "a powerful testimony to the strength and persistence of Christian belief in medieval and modern Europe".[1]
Our Indigofera australis has had a hard time this year, as it suffered a fungal infection in the wet first half of the year, and now a prolonged dry spell this year (plus a ridiculously hot August). Only a few buds opened. I took a photo of this, one of the healthiest flowers. [Lower Blue Mountains, NSW]
Acknowledging my Persistence
Wire and acrylic on canvas
2020
Bio:
My work is inspired by found objects, biodiversity, and contrasting elements within nature.
I work in both two and three dimensions and like to blend the two together in my work. I work mainly in acrylic or oil and use wire and layered panels of gessoed bristol to make my paintings appear as though they come off of the canvas.
My goal as an artist is to educate others about the importance and beauty of biodiversity and certain organisms’ role in their environment.
As a lifelong student working out of Roseville California, I am currently finishing my education in order to pursue a career in art education.
Artist statement:
Art is my outlet from the everyday stressors of life as well as my burning passion. Art to me is what helps me organize my thoughts and feelings in a healthy way that is visually appealing and familiar. Art is a window to my Latina and personal history and a doorway to my passions- nature, the relationship between colors, and attracting people from different backgrounds.
In my art, I like to capture the intricacies of nature as well as employ the elements of contrast and representation. I particularly enjoy combining the softer, more organic shapes of nature with more rigid, solid geometric shapes, and highlight the interplay. I work in a wide array of mediums which helps me to convey these contrasts in new ways. I mainly work in paint, but have explored working with three dimensional materials such as clay and wire to aid in emphasizing certain elements in my art. I do not like to hold myself to a single medium and love to experiment with different materials.
I first found my passion for art at the age of four drawing dragons atop an old chest of clothes. I still find myself enthralled with the world of art and being a maker. I hope to become a professor of the arts one day and plan on continuing to create art for as long as my body allows.

The contemporary outlook. It reminds me of his painting (and no, I can't admit this picture matches up to his work!)

A quick snap at the bathroom in my yoga class'. I was really afraid to be caught for ... well, many things.
-for being a perv, cos I looked really wierd down there with a camera
-what if someone half dressed come walking out of the door, towards the picture's right (ahh)
-and anyway, no photography is allowed in the mall, in the place, anywhere else.
How do you think of this controversial picture? I think not many of you will like it though! But its the kind of picture I'll die for, even being caught for. Looking at this photo for a stretch of time irritates me, but I like it.

I literally sat for about 15 minutes trying to capture at least a butterfly. I also did some crouching, standing, laying down until I realized an old man was giggling observing my persistence. Ha!
I did take quite a few flower pics. I even spotted a poppy flower. If only I could find a poppy FIELD :)

A revisit to my earlier work. I enhanced some areas and added few more items.

Always be persistent in your pursuits. Consistency shows value in whatever you're after. #persistent #consistency
Persistence and the good fortune to be able to travel widely in the UK and abroad will ensure that I remain a major contributor to CRWDP and similar sites. Today, I am posting five pictures from the Brighton area.
