Road to Rishikesh



On the road to Rishikesh
I was dreaming more or less
And the dream I had was true
Yes, the dream I had was true.

I'm just a child of nature
I don't need much to set me free
I'm just a child of nature
I'm one of nature`s children.

Sun light shining in your eyes
As I face the desert skies
And my thoughts return to home
yes, my thoughts return to home

Underneath the mountain ranges
Where the wind that never changes
Touch the windows of my soul
Touch the windows of my soul.

I'm just a child of nature
I don't need much to set me free
I'm just a child of nature
I'm one of nature`s children.
                                            John Lennon

Not one of the more famous "Beatle songs"  for the Three Muses challenge this week but  a classic "John"  mix of verse and music. Simple, symbolic and meaningful (John was my favorite). This piece is also for the Mix it Monthly challenge to use  the facial profile in our work.

Sky Dancers



We could use a little bit of rain dancing here in California as we are all on water rationing this summer.  My yard has looked better that`s for sure.  This is my entry for the TAW challenge this week to use a  "Dancer" in our artwork.  Imagery from Dover and itkupilli.

Fun with fish! I made this collage as a summer desktop background for my computer screen and it works perfectly for the Three Muses challenge this week "Fish"

Red Wing



"Every true artist does feel, consciously or unconsciously, that he is touching transcendental truths; that his images are shadows of things seen through the veil.  In other words, the natural mystic does know that there is something there;something behind the clouds or within the trees; but he believes that the pursuit of Beauty is the way to find it; that imagination is a sort of incantation that can call it up."                      G.K. Chesterton
                         
For the "Beauty" theme at Take a Word this week.
