Mis pinturas y mis imágenes digitales surgen de mi mente, de mi inspiración, muchas veces trabajo inicialmente con materiales convencionales, pero luego fotografío y digitalizo mis obras.
Modifico las paletas, o trabajo con la atmósfera, o la textura.
No hay obra fotográfica expuesta donde no haya trabajado en ella posteriormente, pero mi experimentación en las obras que muestro , son a partir de una imagen construída en la realidad, no virtual en su totalidad. En eso encuentro que puedo jugar, disfrutar y enriquecerme.

The Castlegate in Aberdeen was chosen as the site for this beautiful Gordon Highlanders statue because this was the site of their original 1700s barracks before moving to the Bridge of Don. Castlegate Barracks was located at the end of Union Street and Castle Street, affording views over the harbour.
The Gordon Highlanders was a line infantry regiment of the British Army that existed for 113 years, from 1881 until 1994 when it was amalgamated with the Queen's Own Highlanders (Seaforth and Camerons) to form the Highlanders (Seaforth, Gordons and Cameron's.

The regiment was formed on 1 July 1881 instigated under the Childers Reforms. The new two-battalion regiment was formed out of the 75th (Stirlingshire) Regiment of Foot - which became the 1st Battalion of the new regiment - and the 92nd (Gordon Highlanders) Regiment of Foot, which became the 2nd Battalion.
The 1st battalion fought at the Battle of Tel el-Kebirin September 1882 during the Anglo-Egyptian Warand then took part in the Nile Expedition in an attempt to relieve Major-General Charles Gordon during the Mahdist War.
The 1st Battalion then took part in the Chitral Expedition and then the Tirah Campaign: it was during operations on the North West Frontier in October 1897, during the storming of the Dargai Heights, that one of the regiment's most famous Victoria Crosses was earned. Piper George Findlater, despite being wounded in both legs, continued to play the bagpipes during the assault. Another of the heroes involved the charge of the Gordon Highlanders at Dargai Heights, was Piper John Kidd. Piper Kidd was with Piper Findlater when, half-way up the heights, both pipers were shot down. Unmindful of his injuries, Piper Kidd sat up and continued to play "The Cock o' the North" as the troops advanced up the heights.
The 2nd Battalion fought at the Battle of Elandslaagte in October 1899 and the Siege of Ladysmith in November 1899 during the Second Boer War
Meanwhile the 1st Battalion, who arrived a little later, saw action at the Battle of Magersfontein in December 1899 and was again in action at Doornkop, where they suffered severe losses, in May 1900.

The 1st Battalion, Gordon Highlanders was a Regular Army battalion that served originally with the 2nd Infantry Brigade, part of the 1st Infantry Division, and was sent to France in September 1939, shortly after the declaration of war, as part of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF): it remained there until May 1940.
On 7 March 1940 the 1st Battalion exchanged with the Territorial 6th Battalion and transferred to the 153rd Infantry Brigade, part of the 51st (Highland) Division. The battalion served with the 51st Division during the Battle of France in 1940 when they were trapped and the majority of the division was forced to surrender at Saint-Valéry-en-Caux, with very few men escaping capture. The 1st Battalion was, however, reformed in the United Kingdom in August 1940 and went on to serve with the second formation of the 51st (Highland) Division (formed by redesignation of the 9th (Highland) Infantry Division throughout the rest of the Second World War, serving in North Africa at El Alamein, Tunisia, Sicily and North-western Europe, ending the war in Germany.
The 2nd Battalion was based in Malaya as part of the Singapore garrison and fought in the battle for Singapore in February 1942, surrendering along with 130,000 other British Commonwealth soldiers on 15 February. The men of this battalion suffered more casualties as Prisoners of War in Japanese captivity than they did during the fighting on Singapore Island and Malaya. The 2nd Battalion was reformed in May 1942 from personnel of the 11th Battalion and fought with the 15th (Lowland) Division, throughout North West Europe. They formed part of 227th (Highland) Brigade - the Junior brigade in the division. They were involved in the heavy fighting around Cheux and Tourville-sur-Odon in Normandy, the fight for the Netherlands and in the Battle of Uelzen in Germany near to the end of the war.
The 4th (City of Aberdeen) Battalion served as a Machine Gun Battalion in the Battle of France and was later converted to a Royal Artillery regiment on 1 November 1941, becoming the 92nd Anti-Tank Regiment, Royal Artillery, as part of the 9th Armoured Division, but saw no active service during the war.
The 5th Battalion went to France as part of the British Expeditionary Force: they were serving as part of the 153rd Brigade in the 51st Division during the Battle of France in 1940 when they were trapped and the majority of the division was forced to surrender at Saint-Valéry-en-Caux. The 5th Battalion was, however, reformed in the United Kingdom in August 1940 and went on to serve with the second formation of the 51st (Highland) Division (formed by redesignation of the 9th (Highland) Infantry Division throughout the rest of the Second World War, serving in North Africa and taking part in the Normandy landings.
The 6th (Banffshire) Battalion, a Territorial Army battalion, was transferred from the 153rd Brigade in the 51st (Highland) Division before it joined the 2nd Infantry Brigade of the 1st Infantry Division. It took part in the Dunkirk evacuation. The 6th Battalion fought through the Tunisian, North African and Italian campaigns, in both the Battle of Anzio and Operation Diadem, and later the Battle for the Gothic Line, before ending the war on garrison duty in Palestine.
The 7th (Mar and Mearns) Battalion amalgamated with the 5th Battalion, becoming the 5th/7th Battalion, Gordon Highlanders, and served with the second formation of the 51st (Highland) Division throughout the war.
The 8th (City of Aberdeen) Battalion was also converted to artillery, becoming the 100th Anti-Tank Regiment, Royal Artillery. This battalion served with the 2nd Infantry Division in the Burma Campaign.
The 9th (Donside) Battalion (originally part of the 9th (Highland) Infantry Division along with the 11th Battalion) were initially posted to the Shetland islands. Later they were amalgamated with the 5th Battalion and sent to India for training. Converted to an armoured regiment in 1942 as the 116th Regiment Royal Armoured Corps (Gordons), they continued to wear the Gordons cap badge on the black beret of the RAC.
116th RAC were sent to India and joined 267th Indian Armoured Brigade; later they served in Burma where as part of 255th Indian Tank Brigade they were involved in the dash for Rangoonand were heavily involved in the battle of Meiktila, signalling the end of Japanese hopes in Burma.
Post-War
After the war the Gordons saw active service in the Malayan Emergency, Cyprus, and Northern Ireland. The Regiment was amalgamated with The Queens' Own Highlanders (Seaforth and Camerons) on 17 September 1994 to form the Highlanders (Seaforth, Gordons and Camerons). In 1997, the Gordon Highlanders Museum opened, in the former regimental headquarters in Aberdeen.
Cuando la pintura aborigen (de las tribus aborígenes australianas) fue revelada a Occidente, en los años 70' del siglo pasado, inyectó una nueva adrenalina en la pintura moderna y fue rápidamente aceptada, no solo como legítima sino también como influyente e inspiradora. Es un arte tribal, que satisface las necesidades rituales de crear símbolos religiosos y de una estética fluida caracterizada por los colores de la tierra. También artistas africano-occidentales contemporáneos, como Chris Opili y Vinka Shonibary, han enfatizado elementos similares en su trabajo y han desviado la atención hacia la misma continua necesidad de crear superficies con puntos de color, que provocan placer visual gracias a su textura aterciopelada, rica en colores y formas sinuosas.
No hay duda de que de allí surge la pintura de Mirit Ben Nun, que aparece como un meteorito refrescante en nuestro cielo ya saturado de un arte repleto de mensajes e imágenes fotográficas. Como artista autodidacta, ella creció fuera del bien lubricado sistema de las academias de arte, y no sufre por la búsqueda constante de sentido y contenido. Su pintura irrumpe como emergente de una necesidad primaria de provocar a la superficie pictórica, de atacarla con una obsesión sin freno, que no deja rincones ocultos. La necesidad de expresión no se detiene ni por un momento, quiere continuar fluyendo junto con la tempestuosa agitación anímica, tal vez para apaciguar a los demonios que andan corriendo en su interior. Esta pintura atrae y arrastra porque es primigenia, libre de justificaciones y de sentimientos de culpabilidad por ser "no intelectual". Proviene del mismo lugar donde se generan los impulsos creativos-psíquicos inconscientes, no adaptados todavía al lenguaje de códigos que requieren ser descifrados.
El espectador de Mirit Ben Nun es "atacado" por la abundancia de color, por formas decorativas repetitivas, y por imágenes comparativas que pueden identificarse y captarse rápidamente. Para el ojo acostumbrado a esta sofisticada forma de arte, esto es como aspirar una ráfaga de belleza instantánea.
Tal vez este es el tiempo y el lugar de volver a reflexionar sobre las profundas raices de una cultura que va ramificándose, que durante generaciones ha sido cubierta por una gruesa capa de teorías y de "…ismos"

Se puede apreciar la forma del relieve de esta parte del país. Con una planicie litoral pequeña y una Cordillera de la Costa no tan grande, que va conteniendo la vaguada costera.
You can see how the relief of this part of the country. With a small coastal plain and coastal range not so big, that will contain the coastal trough.
Buying and and selling a home is extremely stressful,so as an antidote, I stitch.
This is the first of three pieces about the whole process..... the signing of the contract to buy. There are all sorts of levels of meaning in this piece.
I stiched it using free machine stitching and then burnt parts with a soldering iron.

Today, I brought Hana and Archie to the Bradshaw Animal Shelter for their rabies (and distemper) vaccinations. The line was longer than I expected but it was fun talking to others waiting and interacting with the cute puppies also in line. (I tried to ignore the dogs as big as a pick-up truck.)
Hana and Archie did not like being cooped up in their respective carriers for three hours, especially on the way there. After their vaccinations, they were quieter...
After I bought the kittens back, Archie had to groom himself to relieve his stress.

Pico de Orizaba o Citlaltépetl, también llamado Poyauhtécatl, cerro de la Estrella o volcán de San Andrés, es un pico montañoso de México que forma parte del sistema orográfico sierra Madre oriental y del eje Volcánico transversal o sistema Tarasco-Nahua, y se alza en el estado de Puebla, cerca del límite con Veracruz. Es la cumbre más alta del país, con 5.610 m de altitud, y está situado al noreste de Ciudad Serdán, dentro del Parque nacional Pico de Orizaba. El pico es de origen volcánico, se halla en estado durmiente, pese a esporádicos episodios de actividad fumarólica; en él se localizan grandes vetas de obsidiana y cristal volcánico, utilizados por las antiguas culturas para elaborar instrumentos y objetos de arte. Su forma se acerca a la cónica clásica y su cumbre está siempre nevada, presentando un gran número de pequeños relieves volcánicos a su alrededor. El cráter es ovalado, de unos 500 m de eje mayor por unos 400 m de eje menor, y tiene una profundidad de 300 metros. Carece de huellas de la época glacial, por lo que se supone que estuvo en erupción en 1547. Las erupciones volcánicas que se tienen registradas ocurrieron en 1537, 1545-50, 1559, 1566, 1569, 1613, 1630 y 1687.
Peak of Orizaba or Citlaltépetl, also Poyauhtécatl call, hill of the Star or volcano of San Andrés, is a mountainous peak of Mexico that comprises of the orographic system mountain range Eastern Mother and of the cross-sectional Volcanic axis or Tarasco-Nahua system, and is raised in the state of Puebla, near the limit with Veracruz. It is the highest summit of the country, with 5,610 ms of altitude, and is located to the northeast of Serdán City, within the national Park Peak of Orizaba. The Peak is of volcanic origin, is in sleeping state, in spite of sporadic episodes of fumarólica activity; in him obsidian veins of and volcanic crystal are located to great, used by the old cultures to elaborate instruments and objects of art. Its form approaches the classic conic section and its summit is always snowed, presenting/displaying a great number of small volcanic reliefs to his around. The crater is made oval, of about 500 ms of greater axis by about 400 ms of smaller axis, and has a depth of 300 meters. It lacks tracks of the glacial time, reason why one assumes that it was in eruption in 1547. The volcanic eruptions that are had registered happened in 1537, 1545-50, 1559, 1566, 1569, 1613, 1630 and 1687.

(#3/30) Pain Reliever
Yesterday was one of those days. I had a killer headache all day and night, and I couldn't find anything better to suit the theme than my pills. Thanks for all the lovely comments yesterday! Happy Veterans Day! That goes out to my dad as well! ;)
P.S. Don't do drugs.
This is a month long project of must haves (life support) on a day to day basis for 30 days. The theme is based around the little things that I "can't" live without or get me through the day, today, yesterday, whichever day.

An old advertisement for Coca-Cola, on the side of a building in downtown Pine Bluff, Arkansas. The ad says that Coke "relieves fatigue," which I can say is true as the parent of a 3 month old baby.
