This is another picture shot in the new workshop of my friend Durga in Varanasi (Benaras).
Those studies in progress pinned on a wall are part of a new topic about hijras, those members of "the third gender", neither man nor woman.
Durga Charan Das is a young painter living in the "City of Lights", he is painting amazing bodies making love or sometimes alone but always with sensuality and strength, with something special that reminds a lot of Eugene Delacroix's work...
Durga has already won several prestigious awards in India and now exhibitions of his work are starting in Europe.

A beloved cannot ever escape the love that pursues them. Reject it, run from it, deny it, try to deafen it with the false love of another, but the love will remain. The lie of unworthiness is a curse, but you are loved regardless. False love possesses. Real love frees. But some spend a lifetime running...
I'm not sure why I'm posting these tonight at 4:21AM but I guess I've been thinking alot about Gomer. I wish she had a better name and I don't have to time to go through the story, but it can be read in the book of Hosea.
And this is Lauren. We didn't start by shooting the story of Hosea and Gomer, but as soon as I had her run that's who she became. I may turn this into an actual piece but for now, this is my starting vision of her and that story.

Yet again „the walk“, I guess you know every single tree as well as I do right now ... BUT: I tried few things with the rendering, both while taking the shots and when processing them. When shooting I used a Kenko Nostaltone Orange, which is basically a diffusor and warming filter combined. That's where the color and softness comes from. I used a zoom lens all the way open, which gives vignette and fall off and a bit of additional softness. when proscessing them in LR and PS I payed attention to „fill the highlights with color“ and control the highlights in general. There was a beautiful „soft sunshine“ today (partially cloudy), and the light was so nice I hope I could capture that a little bit at least.

Hi everyone! It's hard to believe these additions to the ice tree series were taken only two days ago...the high was around 60 here today, under a sunny sky...all that remains of the ice display is a pile of ice on the shaded ground...after I finish this series, I PROMISE I'll fill your viewing with flowers, sunshine and anything unwinterlike!!! Have a wonderful evening...and stay warm! : )
studyguide:
calculator, pen and paper: basics -you know you need them
notes: well, who can remember all the stuff they read after all
laptop: the know-it-all friend that has become essential for a lot of us - and great for when you need to think about real life for a moment (thank you facebook)
and talking about essentials:
the book: you can't google your way through exams, READ THE BOOK
and last but not least the coffee to keep you alert and awake..
oh and the brain is also kinda useful in the process of studying for exams...

My friends, thanks for yours nice comments, visits, faves and invites !!!
I felt the need to take lessons in drawing and painting and to join the group, I love the rich experience of new techniques and hear opinions on my work!
Studio time and a sketchbook pomegranate study. These actual dried pomegranates were snipped from a bush right outside the studio...and included a small bulbous grey spider which crawled out of the pod painted in the lower right corner. I am NOT a fan of spiders..so he was wisked from the scene immediately! I went with paint straight in...and added some ink flourishes as decorative highlights. Another day in paradise? Ahh...You betcha! .:)
