Bees are magical little lives. People only think of honey and flowers. What if one day bees disappear in the universe before we remember their greatness and the sweet energy that they contribute to mankind? Please do something and grow their favorite flowers and plants. Let’s take care of them and feed them! This is a preliminary idea of my 9 works in this cycle. Photo credit: NaturalNews.com

I recently saw a fascinating programme on BBC television about Temperature, which is defined as ‘the hidden energy inside matter’. I learnt a lot of amazing scientific facts, which I was delighted to get to know. Here are some of them: Fire was the first source of heat mankind learnt to control. Wood changes into flames and generates heat: a brief spark starts to release the energy within the wood. Heat propelled the industrial revolution by learning to use steam. When the w

Spring is coming Spring, when all things revive Last winter was exceptionally cold. I guess I was waiting for spring as much as the winter was cold. Our fifth challenge also began with spring. Members who have spent a long time together........ I am happy to be with you. Warm spring, my family, good friends .... and my works,,,, All of this is energy for me. Thanks Martha.........

The first few days were strange... the urge to check my phone for updates... that familiar blue "f" square missing from my phone's screen... wondering if anyone missed me... But the amount of mental energy I wasted on line can (and should) be directed to other things. I'm grateful to be a

When I moved from the big city to the country, nearly 10 years ago, the views around me changed dramatically. Instead of the urban panorama of building after building, occasionally interrupted by the green patch of a square or a park, I found the view had completely reversed, and instead I could see great expanses of green country, with small villages and clusters of farm buildings dotting the landscape. There is repetition in both kinds of ‘scapes – the buildings, the roads

Happy Birthday Viewpoints 9 (and V9 Artist, Betty Busby)! Today marks the beginning of our 7th year together as Viewpoints 9 and the beginning of our new cycle - Living Planet. Our ever-changing, amazing, powerful, tragic, beautiful world will be the inspiration for the work in our next 9 challenges. Challenges will be selected by each of the V9 artists and will be related to some facet of the Living Planet. As is customary, we have changed dimensions. This cycle all works wi

Without healthy development of roots, there will not be healthy trees. This is my understanding of roots after reading and thus I create my first work of tree roots. The word, repetition, is no stranger to me. My everyday life is repeated, so is my creative life. Nevertheless, there is
