A thought about Whiplash.........

Some people can give you emotional whiplash.
It's so jarring to have your soul slammed against a wall so shut down.
Time to snap out of it!...

"Deep thougths" by Rhiannon...:-)

Wise one..Native American Indian drawing..

This is one of my favorites as I worked so hard on it...all those detailed lines of "wisdom" which comes from age, especially one who was a Native American Indian..oh what wisdom we can learn from so many of them. I showed some of my American Indian drawings in a couple of showings long ago in the past. I sold quite a few but "poor management" ripped me off a bit Its a long story. I had my work displayed in an American Indian Art museum mission in the valley in Los Angeles long ago (where I lived and grew up) and Ronald Reagan with family came in and asked who did this work? He was one of the directors of the museum at the time and told the woman manager who worked there to keep my work on display for another month, as it was only supposed to be on display for about a week. He said he loved my work. That display wasn't about selling my work but about the history and "wisdom" of Native American Indians for tourist that would come in who were visiting the area. This to me was the most important thing I got to do and "share" my Artwork with many. I hope to do it again one day maybe soon all of my "lifetimes" Artwork on display from beginning to end. Something of myself I can leave behind and share with others. When I scanned this the white background turned a greyish color..I hope I can fix that up in time, I'm sure I can now that I have a bit more knowledge about photo express..

Horse Whispers.....

I noticed that quite a few bloggers seem to list "Horse Whispers" as one of their favorite movies, its one of mine also. So I thought I'd share this with you. I cut out one of my drawings of a horse then scanned it and added and created the rest of the this on my photo express. Believe me that took a lot of time trying to get all the colors, lighting and text to blend together in a theme....

Windswept...

This is one of mine that got damaged in the flood I spoke of in one of my earlier post. I managed to repair it on my pc and added the oval shadow light, but it wouldn't come out very clear when I scanned it and even though I tried to make it more clear on my photo express it never would do it...so here it is anyway...hope its "clear" enough..as you can see I'm very much into things looking very "vintage" so use a lot of sepia's and browns, so they almost look antique or from another time. As a matter of fact my Art business calling cards say "Moments from another time" on them.

Rivermoon.....pen and ink......

Another one from my catalogue

Linda Ronstadt......

This is from "My lifetimes Artwork" which I have scanned almost all of my work and put in my pc as a catalogue a few years back. This is a pretty old drawing not sure when I did it, but I tell you, try drawing "the opposite" white chalk pencil on black paper, the shadows and light are the complete opposite, its not easy to do, but what a challenge it was. I did a few of these "white on black" drawings...

Poetry in motion..

This is one of my favorite pics from a Kate Bush CD...its a bit worn and has creases in it but I love it..

Dear Anonymous..

Dear Anonymous,

I find it very sad that you feel the need to come on my blog and make your mean, rude, and crude personal comments towards me. Its growing very old, move on. Obviously your a confused person with some deep anger , resentment and pain your not dealing with on a mature level. I suggest you seek some help in the healing process. We all have our imperfections, get angry at times and have our burdens to carry, but most of us do not "Hide" in the "Shadows" by being "anonymous" and personally insulting others on others blogs. This is such an unhealthy, weak, "whimpy" and very childish thing to do. So unless your willing to show yourself (which I seriously doubt you would have the courage to do) may I suggest you stay out of my blog? I found myself feeling the need to "moderate comments" on here because of you, but now I've decided I'm not going to do this, I'm not going to let you get to me, "fool" and I won't allow just "certain" people to come on here, for that's a form of prejudice (other than spammers) and I'm not comfortable doing that. I will just keep clicking the "delete forever" button every time you leave an "anonymous" comment. So might I suggest you not bother or waste your energy or time doing this, for its not worth it, believe me. You go ahead and do what you want though (Hiding in the shadows of fear) its a free country, but this is my blog and I hope you will respect my wishes. Unless your willing to show yourself I certainly would appreciate that you would respect my wishes. Grow up.....

Thank you for your cooperation.

Angel Blessings to you (for I sure think you could use them!)

Why I will be on here less..but still around.....

I got tagged by Peg (hey thanks Peg) for a dreamtree story. I was to continue it, as it goes along "Bloglife Highway" but I fear I am unable to follow through. I wanted to (a lot) I even had written down my "little part" to the story and I thought it turned out pretty good but I don't want to ruin it for anyone else if its passed on to them, if I were to just type my part only on here would not be fair at all. Because you see I have a farily old pc and its also dial up, and my pc is also very slow, and because its old and tired and a bit messed up (along with I..lol) it's not able to do what some of you do with just a "click of a finger"!. I also own an "ancient" very LARGE cell phone that its so old that I can only call out and no one can call me on it! lol.. People laugh when they see how large and old it is, and I only use it in emergencies so its fine for what I need. Its a triple A phone can just push one button and there they are if I get stuck somewhere! So anyway what might take some of you ten minutes to post and write on your blog,etc..takes me much longer because of these issues with my pc,etc. I don't have any of the fancy stuff, but I do the best I can. My pc also won't do the cut and paste deal, I have no clue why but also (yes stupid me and dyslexic to boot) even if it did I wouldn't really know how to do it!..:o(. Its strange how I can go into photo express(I'm amazed my pc could even install the disk 2 years ago!) and figure out a lot and be able to do all kinds of artsy stuff but can't do squat in many technical ways on my pc. I am very tenacious though, some who know me tell me they can't believe some of the things I've figured out in my own "weird way" (including computer whiz's who tell me I'm smart but just in "different ways" them most) but I have to really work at it and it takes me more time than most. For you see I'm a right brainer living in a "left brainer world and society", along with being a person with dsylexia. Right brainers work from creativity, feelings, emotions, and we don't always see the world at large in the same ways that many do, in the technical sense...but put me on a stranded island and I am one of those people who will figure out a way to survive for I'm a "survivor" for sure ( I wouldn't still be here if I wasn't believe me) just a tired one right now..:o(...but not like those silly people on that silly survivor show and all that backbiting bull...lol.. I was given a test a few years back and learned then that I was most definitely a right brainer. I am smart in other ways but not in the techinical world, try as I may. So, I also wanted to share with you that I won't be able to post on such a regular basis as I have been for a while...its just too time consuming for me with my slow pc, etc. and the responsibilities and things I have to take care of in my life, plust the need to find time to have my "quiet time" in between. However I will try to post one or two of my poems and or my Artwork "Portrait drawings" a week ( you can see 6 or so of my Artwork portrait drawings in my Sept. archives if you scroll all the way through )and also I will touch base with all of you on your blogs on a regular basis....that part is a quite a bit "quick", easy and less time consuming for me to do....:o)...So please keep dropping by for I will still be around just not as much as I have been..

I hope you all won't desert me..:o(... (did I spell dessert as in food or desert as in flat hot land?..lol) and will still drop by and check in on my blog and keep in touch okay? For I will still be around..
Thanks so much for all your thoughtful caring words, your kindness and understanding and all of your encouragment, for it means more than any of you will ever know. I hope you like this cool pic above. I've had it in my files for many years now. I got it from the angel eyes web site..there are beautfiul angel pics on there! I read about the story of this painting..... its a painting of the mythological Welsh mare goddess "Rhiannon" of which I very much relate to her mythological story, hence the name "Rhiannon" as my nickname. You would have to read up on how Stevie Nicks came into writing that song its an amazing story. Goddess Rhiannon is always surrounded by 3 birds and is the mare goddess of horses. Her story is a very interesting one and you can find many of her "Goddess" tales on the web. I fiddled with the pic on my photo express and added different colors, light and affects to it. Hope you enjoy it!

Well, until next time "Dream on Bright "Earthangels"...:o) ....Love and peace for this crazy messed up world of ours..".in the chaos is beauty still and always will be".......

With Angel Blessings Always,

Rhiannon...

I'm right here.....

This poem is dedicated to one I have not known, nor met yet

I yearn
oh how I yearn
for more...
then what's gone by me...
whats in store?
looking for what?
I'm not quite sure.....
all I do know
is I need
to be loved,
acknowledged,
comforted
and understood.....
just like
anyone else...
Yet I have
so much
to give also...
to you......
I want to live
not merely survive...
I want to feel
alive....
with you...
you may never notice
you might never see
me...

Are you there?
because I'm right
here....
I've always been......
waiting for.......
you...
but you
may never
notice....
you might
never
see
me....
