Couldn’t think of what befitting title to give this Fridays artsy fartsy freebie blog — that one was quite a mouthful…now let’s see if it’s a visually compatible with your palette (whoops, it’s a pun!…art palette, mouth palette…oh OK, I’ll shut up)?
I was tinkering about earlier this week with some of my paintings, photographs and digital art and came up with these 3 rather different Facebook timelines. Feel free to use them at will, Commander. (To download, click on the picture, right-click and ‘save as’ to your computer then upload them to your Facebook timeline for all to gawp upon.)
What’s in a Picture?
I thought I would include the original pieces used to create these, just so you can see how they started off and how they eventually turned out…rather interesting, me thinks.
The first Facebook timeline (above) was taken from a section of this painting of mine called ‘The Missing Link’. It was an experimentation with abstract art and the inner workings of our biological system.
The next picture is a photo I took on one of my mountain stream walks. This cute little blue dragonfly just came and sat on my foot for about 5 minutes…too precious. Look at his cute little face!
The last Facebook timeline was also taken from one of my paintings called ‘Cosmic Love’. It is just a tiny section of the painting that has been digitally modified and colour enhanced — can you see which segment the timeline picture has been taken from? You’ve got to look real close to see it.
As much as I love good old-fashioned traditional painting, I have a lot of fun digitally mucking about with my art and photo’s on the computer. So much to do so little time! Oh well, that’s all for today folks…
Have a great weekend!

This is my continuation blog from last weeks post, Come Journey Through Picturesque Egypt With me (click on link to read).
I mentioned in this blog that I had something surreal to show you — the clue is in the McDonalds sign. We stopped off for lunch and had a view of Karnak Temple, which is approximately 5000 years old, from the window of McDonalds — it was just such an ‘out of place, out of time’ feeling.
I left off last week at The Valley of the Kings. I shall pick up now at Hatshepsut Temple, Luxor:
Thanks for coming on this pictoral journey of Egypt with me!

I can’t quite put into words what my recent trip to Egypt meant to me, so I decided to lay it out visually instead.
Seeing that today is my ‘art blog’ — I have selected some of my ‘prize’ shots to hopefully tantalize and awaken the curiosity in your travel taste buds…
Experience Beyond the Realms of Comprehension
Although it was a bittersweet culture shock and I found it particularly patriarchal, with hardly a glimpse of a native woman to be seen for most of the trip — I also had some magnificent spiritual moments that literally brought tears to my eyes.
The Ancient Egyptian sites and temples are truly a spiritual, visual and an awe-inspiring experience that I would recommend to anybody (bearing in mind that you can survive the 47°c heat waves and persistent peddlers — see my blog What You Need to Know About Desperation and Manifestation).
Ancient Egypt transports you back to a time that is unfathomable in its technology, knowledge and precision and opens up a mystery beyond linear time and thinking.
100% Organic Due to Technical Difficulties
So without further ado, here are the photographs — I also have to add that these are ‘organic’ photo’s, they have not been tampered with, as in doctored, lightened or brightened…all au natural due to the fact that I haven’t loaded Photoshop onto my laptop yet…lol:
There are just so many photo’s to share, I have therefore decided to do this in 2 parts.
Please tune in next week Tuesday — Luxor and Burghada (on the Red Sea) are going to be on the cards…you don’t want to miss out on Kom Ombo temple and Karnak, they are truly a sight!
I also have something a little ‘surreal’ to show you but you’ll have to wait and see (or ‘follow this blog’ in the sidebar if you seriously don’t want to miss out on this titilising paradox).
Thanks for stopping by…
