A small hill at sundown. On the top of the hill is a small, leafless tree: just a trunk and a few sparse branches. Placed in the top of the tree is a house that, while it is small, still looks entirely too large to be supported by the tree. The underside of the house is bright pink and yellow from the sun on the horizon. The house has a door in the front and a glowing yellow window on the side. It has a dish antenna sticking out of the roof. Hanging from a lower branch is a mailbox. The horizon glows pink and yellow, giving way to a dark blue sky. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A beautiful young woman, red hair pulled back, leans her head on her hand, and looks directly at the viewer, her face is relaxed, but there is a focused tired intensity to her gaze. She wears a floral shirt with sweater around her neck. Painted realistically but loosely.

Here's a ceramic hedgehog, fierce defender of whatever you store inside its belly. I'm new to this community and I'm a bit like this hedgehog. Since certain social media platforms are showing their true colors, I'm backing off and trying to find a safe place to settle, to share creative stuff, knowledge and fun without generating profit for scary billionaires. This might just be that place but I have no idea how it works yet. cheers!

"The Little Cabin In The Snow" ...

I captured this charming wintery scene on top of Blue Knob Mountain in December of 2012. The little cabin is currently a utility shed / barn for the resort, Blue Knob All Seasons Resort, and stands at the very top of our 3,000+ ft high mountain, the second highest elevation in the Allegheny Mountains.

The little cabin is currently a utility shed / barn for the resort, Blue Knob All Seasons Resort, and stands at the very top of our 3,000+ ft high mountain, the second highest elevation in the Allegheny Mountains. To the left and behind me are the ski lift machines and lots of happy skiers and snowboarders. We call days like this when the temperatures are moderated a bit and the snow conditions are perfect a Blue Bird Day ... and with the skies the color of sapphires, you can surely understand why.

moon viewing
mother and daughter
in total awe

Two cats and a full moon is a watercolor painting in landscape format by the artist Karen Kaspar.
Two cats sit on the roof of a house and look up into the dark night sky, which is illuminated by a bright yellow round full moon. The two cats can be seen as dark silhouettes from behind, standing out against the bright full moon.

This work, a combination of painting and haiku, is a joint project by Karen Kaspar (© art and artwork) and Marjolein Rotsteeg (© Haiku).
A haiku is a traditional Japanese poetry form consisting of three lines.

Here the watercolor painting was supplemented with the haiku in English.

Brandywine Falls located in Whistler Canada. This was the first landscape shot I took where I felt I had made a "great" image. The large distant falls plummeting from the rock face surrounded by the moss covered stone. Leading into the river with moss covered rocks in the foreground. The cold water blue from deposits of glacial tills.

The Case of Caspar David Friedrich

Born 250 years ago, Friedrich reimagined landscape painting by portraying the vastness of nature as a setting for profound spiritual and emotional encounters.

By: Angelica Frey

Wanderer above the Sea of Fog by Caspar David Friedrich, 1817.

The hiker stands as a back figure in the center of the composition. He looks down on an almost impenetrable sea of fog in the midst of a rocky landscape - a metaphor for life as an ominous journey into the unknown.
