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.
With a looming snow storm over the Madison River in the distance, Spring 's persistence is melting snow and greening the grasses.

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.

Sculpture
By Paul Chimera
Dali Historian
(Mr. Chimera worked directly with Dali Museum founder Reynolds Morse, as the publicity director of the original Dali Museum when it was located in Beachwood, Ohio.
Eureka! Your Salvador Dali Society, Inc. blogger has suddenly come up with an entirely new interpretation of Dali’s iconic and immortal “soft watch!” This is a historical moment, so hold onto your surreal seats, dear readers, as I don’t know – as a Dali historian and writer, who’s studied the artist’s work and life for more than 45 years – if this interpretation has ever quite been stated before:
The dripping, melting watch suggest that time is running out!
Like an ice cube, let’s say, that drips, drips, drips to oblivion, so too does the reality of life mean that, with every ticking second, time is running out. Life is running out. Our time here is finite, short, precious, ever-changing, ever-shortening!
And, of course, interpretation gets supplanted by fact when we consider this: Salvador Dali’s soft watch motif has made for not only his most universally famous painting, “The Persistence of Memory” of 1931, but also arguably the single most famous work of art of the entire 20th century.
So here, a single watch, flopped over a tree branch…dripping…melting…forms the basis for one of Salvador Dali’s most important sculptural pieces. DaVinci had his Mona Lisa. Warhol had his soup cans. Dali – his remarkable watches. Said Dali: Hard or soft, the principal thing is that the watch gives the exact time.”
Astonishing fact: Dali didn’t wear a watch. Not only did he not need to know himself what time it was – he had others to depend on for that – but it may be entirely true that he didn’t quite know how to tell time! Just as he had no real concept of what a particular denomination of money was worth.
Such is the unique life of geniuses.

They flash on and off at high speed, so when waved about produce a message.
This new version has a little switch on the breadboard, when pressed it flashes the message once. This allows me to just have the message go by on the correct swing direction, and also makes it a LOT easier to get a good photograph.
I'm looking at using an accelerometer to do the same, but it would be able to automatically detect direction and speed and hopefully compensate to get a 'perfect' display.
Each of us has events and circumstances that shape our lives and for the most part we have an idea of what's ahead and react accordingly as the events play out in front of us... there is laughter mixed with tears as we experience the wonders of this life. We all know that someplace down the road the challenges will become greater... and when they arrive we are still shocked that the time has passed so quickly... the kids have grown up and are starting families of their own... and those stairs take a little more concentration and effort to climb. In my life I've had days like the one represented by this sunrise which was taken two years ago down in Mexico. It was dark and the remnants of the previous night's storm still lingered as I looked out over the ocean in the direction I knew the sun would come up... only there were so many clouds that I was sure that nothing worthy of capturing with the camera was going to happen this day, so I just sat down on the sand and enjoyed the sound of the waves gently washing the beach in front of me. Again, my human nature of seeing and focusing on the negative almost convinced me to head back to the room for some more sleep... but as you can see the strength and persistence of the sun was stronger than my flesh and as I sat alone on the sand I was presented again with it's glory. Friends, dark times come into our lives and if we persist just a little more I'm convinced that God will allow His light to shine in our lives again. Let's encourage each other on this day of rest to pause and look at all of the reasons we have to be thankful...
This is for my Mom, whom I sat with on a Thanksgiving day several years ago as she lost her battle with cancer. I am thankful for all that she taught me over the years... I love you Mom...
