"Moonbow"

This week a video of a Fine Art Dream Painting on masonite board that is painted with acrylic and florescent acrylic that glows in black light. A "Moonbow" is actually a halo of colored light around a luminous body caused by refraction through ice crystals in the atmosphere. The video of this Painting has technical camera moves, animation
and GarageBand music that I have not composed. Video duration is 3:30 seconds. If you ever get a chance watch the sky during a full moon to see a "Moonbow" and if your not able to catch one you have seen one in this video!

"Portal"

The video "Portal" is a very "personal" experience for me. It illustrates the moment of "NOW" of a thin veil of dimensions that surround us at all times. When creating this video with animation it finally became "alive" for me. I experienced a "self-actualization" when my Soul recognized this "vision" and I felt that it was "home" in my deepest heartfelt feeling of a "journey out of body experience" as it came into view. My joy was emotionally tearful and the music melody assisted me to "experience" this eternity of time. I hope you can "see" and "feel" my experience in this video. This is a dedication to all the Souls in the Universe for "Memorial Day".

"a Vision" "Nature"

This week is a Double Feature. I have been inspired to create several videos of my earlier art work of my black & white Fine Art Pencil Drawings with Animation and GarageBand Composed Music with "RED". They have different themes of surrealism, dream, metaphysics, spiritualism and supernatural energy. The first video is called "a Vision" of an imaginary apparition of "Great Love" appears through my sketching of this Drawing with onlookers of sweet animals and a girl. Several "symbols" appear in this video to make you more curious...The second video is called "Nature" and it is a surreal illustration of sweet animals, sounds and landscape of Mother Earth and her creatures. I was young and viewed the world through rose-colored glasses and still inspired to do so. I was a child that pondered on the unknown and was caught in my own "day dream" about the truth of the world. In the process I have never let go of my "vision" of the "world" and somehow through the years I have been able to "create my own reality" and proceed with some difficulty but in my own moments of "miracles" I have found that "Joy","Peace" and the "Love of Spirit within" does overcome many obstacles and much trial and tribulation. I hope these videos bring you to a "time" and "essence" of the "day dreams" and "surreal realities" I have personally experienced as a Fine Artist and most of all as "one small voice you hear in the distance" of your own "personal journey".

"UFO" "Flying Saucer"

This week is a Double Feature! Two videos relating to UFOs. I was a big UFO Buff in the 60s and 70s. I probably have read about all of the famous UFO cases. It was so exciting to cut out articles from the newspaper and collect UFO memorabilia. I finally donated all of my clippings in a notebook to someone I met in Kansas City, Missouri that was a Director of the MUFO Network. All that history of newspaper clippings through the years was well worth my charitable donation. Each video shows my artwork that was conceived in the 70s. I have a very large box of artwork and I have kept all my doodles and drawings for years. I never expected someday these would be videos. The first video is called "U F O". The whole video is done in Black, White and Red because its charcoal and I added Red accents which creates a RETRO feeling. Its a Fine Art Charcoal Drawing I sketched about a Space Ship landing. There are some opinions that this visual looks like the "White Mountains" area of Arizona. I sketched it in 1975. The second video is called "Flying Saucer". It is a gouache Fine Art Painting of two E.T.s searching the landscape for specimens of the soil. This one is "most discussed" at YouTube which means it ranked higher than my other videos. It could be the special effects, the art, or the music or all combined. "U F O" has GarageBand Music composed by me and "Flying Saucer" has "special effects sound". Watch for the surprise ending!

"Souls of Rapture"

This video takes you into a surreal Fine Art Dream Painting that was conceived several years ago. This video transports a vision of the Soul through an expression defined in my computer dictionary as: "Rapture originally referred to being raised or lifted out of oneself by divine power, nowadays it is used in much the same sense as ecstasy to describe an elevated sensation of bliss." "We all become bliss in the actual journey of our Soul." This is one concept to many more but in its visual intent I wanted to express in my painting what I experience as a "Soul" and as a Fine Artist.
