Hopefully, my photos uploaded this evening will reach My Contacts. Apparently, yesterday's four images didn't show.
Saw this beautiful fungus on a walk this morning at Mallard Point, Fish Creek Park. Just love the bright orange colour and the texture. Growing on an old log.
The act of creativity is cathartic.
As one of my seniors said, "one must only be human, before he/she is an artist."
Being human, we are made to feel. Yet we are taught the value of control from an early age, we are expected to keep undesired emotions in, waiting for them to blow over, rather than to let them blow up.
My works begin with a visceral emotion. I hope to create a visual voice to inner thoughts and feeling, making up for the times where words have failed and other expressions have been restrained.
I started my IB art journey detached, choosing what I deemed safe subject matter: trees, butterflies, flowers, cats; devoid of emotion, nothing messy and complicated. I was lost, the first few months were spent stumbling, scared, clumsy and directionless. Yet now my works are very personal, perhaps more personal than I ever intended them to be. My friend and photographer, Nicole Wu, and her self-portraits were a huge influence. She showed me how to turn emotions into inspiration. It made me realize that was what I wanted to do in my works; to fulfill my need for cathartic expression, for reaching out and looking inwards, connecting with minds, touching thoughts, understanding psyches. Other artists that have heavily influenced my works are Cesar Del Valle, for his incredible interactive hyper-realistic illustrations and Alan Coulson, for his wonderfully expressive portraits.
The mediums I use are simple, 50-cent biro pens, charcoal pencils and acrylic paint, all monochrome. This way there are no colors to seduce the eye, the essence of scenery, objects and people become more visible. Emotion is emphasized by contrast, light, shadow, form and lines.
“I want people to feel what I’m doing, not just see what I’m drawing.”

A building that makes the grandest of imperial statements, this is officially part of the Government Offices Great George Street (GOGGS) complex, viewed from Parliament Street, London SW1. This segment is also known as 100 Parliament Street (100PS).
GOGGS was designed in 1898 by John Brydon, who drew inspiration from Inigo Jones’ unfulfilled design for a new Westminster Palace of the 1630s. After Brydon’s death, John Tanner completed the work in 1917, albeit diluting some of his predecessor’s original vision. The main 100PS occupants are HM Revenue & Customs, relocating there from Somerset House in 2004. The Department for Culture, Media and Sport is also based here.
GOGGS is Grade II Listed, having been praised by the Victorian Society as “an early monument of the Edwardian Baroque Revival”.

Statement of Significance
Description of Historic Place
The Kaiserhof Hotel is a four-storey, brick apartment block, located at the corner of Blanshard and Johnson Streets in Downtown Victoria. Retail storefronts face Blanshard Street, and the two main façades are clad with contrasting surfaces of pressed tan brick and ivory-coloured terra cotta.
Heritage Value
Constructed during the height of the pre-World War One real estate boom, the Kaiserhof Hotel is valued as a reflection of the surge of development that characterized Victoria’s gateway economy. With its substantial size, brick construction and classically-influenced detailing, the Kaiserhof Hotel was, and remains, a downtown landmark. The scale of the building reflects the optimism and rapid growth of the Edwardian era, prior to the collapse of the local economy in 1913 and the outbreak of World War One in 1914. It illustrates the continuing redevelopment of the eastern edge of downtown, through the replacement of earlier buildings on prime sites during a time of great prosperity. At the time the Kaiserhof Hotel was built, Blanshard Street was being established as a significant north-south commercial street that rivalled Douglas and Government Streets. Originally built as an apartment-hotel, it catered to travellers in a city that relied increasingly on trade and commerce, and was developing as a global tourism destination.
This historic place is also significant for its association with the early German community in Victoria, and as a demonstration of the multicultural origins of Victoria. It was built by Max Leiser, who was a leading local businessman and partner in Pither & Leiser Ltd., liquor merchants. Prominent German entrepreneur Alvo von Alvesleben operated his local business interests from this building. The original tenant was the Kaiserhof Hotel, which had a distinctly German flavour, including a fenced-in beer garden at the rear. Public sentiment turned against the Germans at the time of World War One. German immigrants had been fully accepted members of the community, but Britain’s declaration of war in August 1914 provoked a wave of patriotism and a xenophobic response. During the anti-German riots that followed the sinking of the Lusitania in 1915, the hotel was extensively damaged and looted. When it re-opened, its name was changed to the Blanshard Hotel.
The Kaiserhof Hotel is also a significant surviving Edwardian-era design by prominent BC architect Thomas Hooper (1857-1935). Hooper had one of the province's longest running and most prolific architectural careers, designing hundreds of commercial and residential buildings in the Lower Mainland and on Vancouver Island. Reflective of the influence of the Classical Revival styles that were popular during the Edwardian era, the building is articulated in a tripartite division of base, shaft and capital. The two main façades are boldly detailed with contrasting brick horizontally at the base and capital, and vertically on the main shaft. This is one of Hooper’s most inventive designs, achieved through the interweaving of just two cladding materials.

I found these shoes hanging by their shoelaces from a power line in the city centre of Canberra. Noone seems to know what it is all about but there are rumours of copycat efforts around the city with various other statements.

I noticed that my hubby and I both had on t-shirts with a message, so I had to get a photo :)
His says "Move it or Lose it"...mine says "Good Life".
noticed on the back of the arm of an attendee at a mass gay wedding on the beach in Tel Aviv. (more photos in complete album in lower right)

At a personal level I like the simplicity of this almost abstract statement. I read into it a step change in the way architects work. The older building, the one on the right, comes from the age of the orthogonal age of the manual drawing board; the Gherkin on the left is from the curvaceous age of computer aided design. The older building deserves a name check, it is now known as St, Helen's Skyscraper (formerly known as the Commercial Union Building) designed by Gollins Melville and Ward and completed in 1969. The City is a restless place.

This is the first photo that I have uploaded to Flickr directly from my cellphone. The image was also shot and processed using the on-board HTC software which has a number of features that my last phone did not have.
Additionally, I finally downloaded Flickr's mobile app for the Droid OS and it is not that bad - there is a bit of a learning curve, but it is mostly due to finding the right menus to pull down and what buttons to select..
