The majority of the Karen people live in Burma, and yet they also form by far the largest of the major tribes of northern Thailand. There are as many as 280000 Karens living in Thailand. They can be found living both in the mountains and on the plains, most of them in the provinces of Chiang Mai, Mae Hong Sorn, Chiang Rai, but also in central Thailand. They live in bamboo houses raised on stilts, beneath which live their domestic animals, pigs, chickens and buffalos. The mountain-dwelling Karens practice swidden agriculture, and the plains-dwellers, for the most part, cultivate irrigated paddy fields.Karen women are noted for their skill in weaving, which is done on a back-strap loom. Each of the many sections of this large ethnic group has its own style of dress. Unmarried girls wear loose white vee necked blouses. Married women wear blouses and skirts in bold colours, predominantly blue and red. Karen men produce musical instruments, animal bells, unique tobacco pipes and numerous other crafted items.
Karens are originally animist, but about 25% of Karens living in Thailand have been converted to christianity by western missionaries.
The Karen people are very peaceful and cooperative, who like the other hilltribes, reserve their highest veneration for their ancestors and living elders.

"The Church of St. Wenceslas in Loket is a Roman Catholic parish church standing on an elevated site near the western end of the historic square in the center of the town of Loket in close proximity to the royal castle of the same name in the Sokolov district of the Karlovy Vary Region. The current baroque form of the church dates from 1734. It is located at Kostelní 14/3. Since 1963, the church has been protected as a monument.
The first written mention of the church is from 1240, and its location in the immediate vicinity of the castle suggests that it was created in connection with it. The church was built by the Knights of the Red Star Crusaders and has been a parish since its inception, and since 1248 they have administered the parish.
According to a charter from 1325 of King John of Luxembourg, the parish was supposed to be transferred from the church to a more representative place, but this never happened. From the original structure of the Romanesque church, only the northern portal and the block masonry of the northern wall have survived.
At the end of the 15th century, there were disputes between the town and the powerful Šlik family from nearby Ostrov, during which the church burned down in 1473 or 1474. Then Mikuláš Šlik and his son Matyáš started and implemented the construction of a new Gothic church. It was consecrated in 1490 and was also supposed to serve as the ancestral tomb of the Šliks.
In 1521, thanks to the support of the Lutheran Counts Šlik, the Reformation developed in Lokti, but the church remained Catholic for the time being. Until 1550, mass was held alternately in Czech and German. In 1565, Prague Archbishop Antonín Brus of Mohelnice, who was also Grand Master of the Order of the Crusaders, elevated the parish church to a dean's church. In addition to Lokte itself, the parish also included the villages of Loučky, Nové Sedlo, Hory, Nadlesí and Třídomí.
From 1594, the church served the Protestant faithful, but a year after the Battle of the White Mountain, it again served the Catholic Church, which modified the building several more times.
In 1701, the construction of a new church was started on the same site. Part of the northern wall, the perimeter walls of the chancel and the lower part of the tower were used from the original temple. In 1725, a great fire broke out in the city, and the building could not be completed until 1734. Construction work was carried out by the builder Wolfgang Braunbock from Teplá and his son Jan Ondřej. The sculptural decoration in the interior of the church (main columned altar with statues and pulpit) was provided by Jakub Eberle in 1757.
The main columned altar, until recently with an image of St. Wenceslas, dates from 1759. On the stone mensa is a painted antependium from 1744 with the Celebration of the Holy Trinity by Eliáš Dollhopf.
Loket (German Elbogen) is a historic town on the eastern edge of the Sokolov district. Approximately 3,100 inhabitants live here. Loket is located at the foot of the Slavkovský forest on the meander of the Ohře river and used to be an important royal town and the center of the Loket region. Loket is a popular tourist destination. The dominant feature of the city is the Gothic castle rising on a stone promontory above the river. The city center is a conservation area.
The history of the Loket castle dates back to the 12th century, the foundation of the town below it is of a younger date (the first written mention of Loket dates from 1234; it is also mentioned in Latin as Cubitum ) and is apparently related to the German colonization of the borderlands by Wenceslaus I. By the beginning of the 14th century, the grid was completed royal cities of Bohemia and Moravia. The government of the Czech king Přemysl Otakar II contributed the most to this. Only he gave the pace of urbanization the necessary dynamism. The network of royal cities thickened and practically completed.
Loket also belongs to more than fifty cities connected with the foundations of this great king, as historian Josef Žemlička writes in his publication Přemysl Otakar II. king at the edge of the ages. Žemlička further writes that the strong castle in Lokti belonged to the land supports on the border with Chebsk since the second quarter of the 13th century. Under Přemysl Otakar II. gained in Loketsk at the pace of colonization penetrating from Chebsk. It can therefore be assumed that the king's initiative to populate the borderlands led to the establishment of a municipality under the Loket castle, even if the opinions on this are not clear-cut. The king equipped the Loket castle fortress with a system of manors, whose hereditary users he removed from the provincial jurisdiction and assigned to the court of the burgrave or the king, although clear documents date back to the time of John of Luxembourg. The existence of the Manx system in Loketsk can be derived from the Manx system founded by Přemysl Otakar II. in Kladsk, where some charters of privileges have been preserved.
From the above, it can be concluded without much construction that Loket belonged to the area of strong interest of Přemysl Otakar II. in the fortification and settlement of the borderlands, just as it is with nearby Ostrov and Kadana.
Bohemia (Latin Bohemia, German Böhmen, Polish Czechy) is a region in the west of the Czech Republic. Previously, as a kingdom, they were the center of the Czech Crown. The root of the word Czech probably corresponds to the meaning of man. The Latin equivalent of Bohemia, originally Boiohaemum (literally "land of Battles"), which over time also influenced the names in other languages, is derived from the Celtic tribe of the Boios, who lived in this area from the 4th to the 1st century BC Bohemia on it borders Germany in the west, Austria in the south, Moravia in the east and Poland in the north. Geographically, they are bounded from the north, west and south by a chain of mountains, the highest of which are the Krkonoše Mountains, in which the highest mountain of Bohemia, Sněžka, is also located. The most important rivers are the Elbe and the Vltava, with the fertile Polabean Plain extending around the Elbe. The capital and largest city of Bohemia is Prague, other important cities include, for example, Pilsen, Karlovy Vary, Kladno, Ústí nad Labem, Liberec, Hradec Králové, Pardubice and České Budějovice, Jihlava also lies partly on the historical territory of Bohemia." - info from Wikipedia.

Wikipedia, Ballpoint pen drawing
By Jerry Stith on Friday, October 28, 2011 at 6:21pm
Ballpoint Pen Drawings are a form of art that consist of the usage of a ballpoint pen in a way similar to an average pencil except that the results are more permanent. The medium itself is considered to be easier to purchase when compared to other artistic materials. It is also a tool that any level of artist can use. Unlike other pens such as a fountain pen or crowquill pen the ink is less messy and does not bleed as much. The ink is instead distribute through the small ball at the tip of the pen which helps manage ink distribution more without difficulty. There are many intricate pictures produced by shading and the creating of many tones through techniques that are very similar to a pencil drawing. Not only is black ballpoint pen ink being used, various color inks have been as well. Subject matters for this type of art consist of portraits, sketches, still-life's, landscapes, abstracts and ect. The most prolific ballpoint pen artist, publisher, video producer and information provider Jerry Stith,[1] is known for pushing in the whole new movement of using ballpoint pens as a medium for illustrating and drawing period. He has produced 3,750 of his own art pieces using this medium and is still continuing as of 2011. The movement itself has been going on for some time and is picking up speed even now. Thanks to his enthusiasm in this new form of art many amazing artist such as Babis Kiliaris, Juan F. Casas, Virginia Rodriguez Cañete, Andrey Hrenov and Shirish Deshpande [2] have appeared in the art world. Not only are the many artworks created with this medium made for just amusement they are being placed in exhibits such as the one by the Korean artist Il Lee, who will display his abstract drawings at The Crow Collection of Asian Art located in Dallas, Texas on April 8, 2011.[3]

Yellow Apricot Flower

Yellow Apricot Flower is an exploration in the contemporary human form. I explore the human form using exaggerations and distortion of different aspects of the figure to bring out an emotional and physical situation that the audience can become apart of. melding aspects of different cultural mythologies and the art that accompanies with it I create self contained short stories.
"They say, they want heaven"
"They say, they want God"
"I say, I got heaven"
"Well I say, I am God"
-Abel Tesfaye
Yellow Apricot Flower is a piece that is a fusion of several cultural mythologies and early Islamic and eastern Euro sudo-sciences. The main figure of the piece is an interpretation of the Hindu goddess Kali. Kali is known as the goddess of darkness, death, time, and annihilation. Kali is the consort of Shiva and is usually seen standing over his body with the severed heads of her followers enemies. Attached to her head are the six golden goat's head that are spewing smoke from their mouths. The goats heads are symbols in Catholicism that are used to represent the embodiment of evil, darkness,death;the devil. Even though the Pagan horn goat deity predates it, although it stood for wilderness, sexuality, and the life cycle. Looking at the goats you see there are crosses over their eyes as they spit a black smoke from their mouths as if they are being chocked to death by it. The goat heads are golden, a color given to ideals of worship. The tattoos going across her arms are depictions of alchemical lunar calendar that appear in numerous in multiple mythologizes for their use of tracking time. The combination of all these symbols are meant to portray an ending of time, a time of blackness. On the other side of the painting you can see a figure that the deity is emerging from, it is a king that has been skinned alive as a sacrifice to this creature.

kathak is a flamboyant style of a dance form. But when you bring in the language of Bharatanatyam and Odissi, obviously you will be restrained.
Parkahya, literally, 'The Body of Another' this festival features cross-currents in classical dance. It attempts to expand the boundaries of our performing arts as well as augment existing repertoires meaningfully. Whilst adhering to certain rules and formats, each style also absorbs and imbibes from others, though retaining its essence. In Parkaya, three exemplary dancers work with each other and collaboratively use elements of each other's forms that are visualised by one and executed by another.
It is hoped that this endeavour goes some way in sensitizing one dance form to another and benefitting from this interaction, since there is so much that is shared in the Indian art aesthetic.
Three signature pieces taken from each style form the basis of this festival's repertoire: the Varnam from Bharatanatyam, the Pallavi from Odissi and the Thumri from Kathak.

Inspiration for images comes in all different forms. Sometimes I see someone I want to work with and think of what we could do together. Other times I get an idea and think of who would be great for the concept. My photography in 2020 has really evolved to focus on the true essence of women and what we face on a daily basis. I had an idea to try to embody the struggles women face in regards to mental health, and knew I needed to bring it to life when I found this hospital. I reached out to Gabby because a lot of what she shares on her platform is what I was envisioning. We couldn't have made a better team. I was blown away by how seriously she took this idea by the questions she asked, how she prepared leading up to it, and her openness in the moment to really go for it. Look a certain way, bleed but hide it, have the children and the job and the body, keep up with men, what did she do to ask for it? It can be painful to live with the pressure. What can we do to resist? We don't. We need to lean into it, bend without breaking, breathe. This is what we hoped to create. Enjoy.

Tulips from Mothers day...........I nicked one and we did a photo shoot in the conservatory with a torch and a +4 filter
I love this shape formed by the Tulip
the only pp was the border
1) This image investigates the element of form because the light coming from the right of the statue casts a shadow on the wall to the left as well as casting a partial shadow on itself, as seen on the leg of the statue.
2) The subject matter of this image is a statue of a person sitting and holding out their arm. I approached this image directly from the front.
3) The aspect of this photograph that I find the most successful is the shadow that is cast against the wall as it really accentuates the form of the statue.
4) What I could do to improve this image would be to crop the bottom to remove the corner of the ledge the statue is sitting on.
