in kudos, gallary show
As an artist when you create something you never feel like your done. There is always something that could be better or a fresh outlook brings new ideas. At some point you have to decided to be done and release your creation to the universe. The mixed emotions run from complete satisfaction to complete terror. One minute its the best thing you have ever done and the next minute you think who will ever relate to it. It takes time and a lot of sweet talk to those voices in your mind to push forward and leave behind all the baggage of... I am not good enough.... to say its time to share you with the world you are no longer mine.
Recently, I created and released my images of the Assateaque Horses at the FotoBazaar Photography show in DC. I got an amazing amount of love and wonderful feedback. I am very happy and a little sad to tell you that I sold all three 1st Editions of the fine art pieces that I had on display at the show. Its feels wonderful that they have a new loving home and at the same time I feel sad like I am letting go of a new friend I have only just met.
If you want a new friend and have a lovely place for one of these beauties then pop over to my shop and get one or two or three .... I promise not to cry if you do .. well maybe.
I wanted to thank Dodge Chrome for helping me create these beautiful works of art. Please visit there website if you need any kind of art produced they can really do it all even print on wood. I can't wait to find a reason to do that.
Assateaque's Wild Horses
I feel like I am dreaming when I visit Assateque Island because when you combine two of my favorite things the beach and horses I am not sure if I am still awake or in a state of dreaming. My new series called "Assateaque Dreaming" I feel I captured what this landscape make me feel like while I am there. Its a state where all the harsh sounds of city life fade away and the blue sky calms your senses and the ocean waves set you in a state of meditation. To create this dream state I used a lens called "the muse" by lensbaby. The select focus lens is perfect for creating beautiful soft out of focus images. In a world where everything is about the amount of pixels per inch and hyper sharp images, I wanted to create the opposite with these images where it was less about the pixels and more about the calming feeling the images create. I also wanted these images to have a soft color palette one that just made the viewer feel peace and serenity.

Local folklore describes the Assateague horses
As survivors of a shipwreck off the Virginia coast. While this dramatic tale of struggle and survival is popular, there are no records yet that confirm it. The most plausible explanation is that they are the descendants of horses that were brought to barrier islands like Assateague in the late 17th century by mainland owners to avoid fencing laws and taxation of livestock.
