Acrylic painting depicting an alien Madonna & Child. The baby is wearing a crown of leaves and rhinestones. This mother has a pyramid in her jewelry reflecting she has been here since the days of the Egyptian Empire. The flower background represents nature and our connection to it. The grey in her hair symbolizes her old soul which has lived through l00's of lifetimes.
My lint art.
Yes, lint (not the bellybutton kind) the stuff you clean out of your dryer when doing the laundry.

12. “CORPSES, TANGALLA.”
This is the caption provided by the cameraman, Stephen Champion (Lanka, 1986-1992, Reading: Garnet Publishing ltd, 1993, p. 86). Tangalla or Tangalle is a coastal town in the Southern Province of Sri Lanka. This graphic picture is one of those that mark the killings that occurred in the period 1987-1990 when a civil war raged between the JVP insurrectionists (mostly Sinhalese) and the armed services of the state. This scene probably depicts youth killed by the deaths quads mobilised by the state. Also see the image on the next page of “mothers of the disappeared.” And that of a man executed at Tissamaharama on page 83 – the latter probably a JVP killing. Champion’s photo album also provides striking scenes from the war front in the north and east (pp. 61-68, 88-96).

The altar of the Basilica Minore del Santo Niño.
About 12 kms outside Chiang Mai along the Mai Ping River, I spotted a beautiful golden Wat (Temple) on the other side of the river. Upon entering I was greeted by a most beautiful golden Buddha sitting under a tree enjoying the last rays of sunshine before the cool air arrives for the evening...

When there is no mass, devotees prostrate in prayer, walk on their knees to the altar, or kneel and stretch their arms in prayer to God.
How I proposed:
At 7:30 AM I gave Alissa a painting I made. She thought it was great. I told her to flip it over. She read it and said, "yeah" assuming I was being cute. When she turned around to thank me for the painting I was holding the ring. See the back.
Here’s what I wrote:
The word gouache comes from the Italian for aguazzo, meaning mud. [1] Gouache is made when a pigment and chalk are combined with water and applied to the paper by the artist in an act of creation.
Like gouache our relationship is a synergy of earth and water into a creative energy. [2] The act is often messy and creates surprising and unintended results.

1. Upon further investigation it seems there are no reliable references. The word gouache is ~400 years old so aguazzo may be antiquated.
2. You being a taurus and I a cancer.
This was the only man praying in Sarkhej Roza on a Sunday morning. These shots are from my first outdoor shoot with a DSLR (Canon EOS 350D, f3.5-5.6 18-55 mm lens), I just love the wide angle-ish feel of this shot!
