Imagining A Wormhole #2

Imagining A Wormhole #1

 

An Other World – Mother Elephant

I dreamed my mother. She came to me as a matriarch elephant riding the moon, wildly decorated as if to remind me of her love, her spirit, her presence.

An Other World – Hightech Kite

I dreamed I was floating on a hightech kite. It was weird. There was no wind. My craft landed softly in glassy water the color of gods, and I wondered at the quietest and most beautiful sunrise I’d ever seen. May you know this peace.

An Other World – Pink Moon

I dreamed I sat in stillness on a covered dock. The circular motion of my breath pulled me inward and outward at the same time, like the flow of the tides. A Pink Moon rose, accompanied by the faint music of stars, and each breath solidified my awareness. Of wonder. Of connection. Of oneness.

An Other World – Electric Blue Moon

I dreamed of an electric blue moon, its shapes and shadows reflected against a velvet sky. On a ship with spiral sails and mirrored oars I sailed, wondering if I, too, reflected that celestial beauty.

Silver and Light

I love gray horses, except grooming them after a good roll in the mud of course. This mare’s ethereal beauty drew me to her.

The Merge

I vaguely remember the crash. It was peculiar in that there was no explosion, only a merging and mushing of spectacularly strange shapes. It seemed meant to be, but difficult for my physical mind to accept. I only saw the beauty.

Of Twirls and Things

Well, I tried a thing, but that thing didn’t turn out to be the right thing. So I tried another thing that was the wrong thing, too. The third thing was closer to the thing I wanted, but it still wasn’t THE thing. Things are eluding me today, but I will continue to experiment and […]

An Other World – Mechanica

I dreamed I sat on the bow of an old ship. Its metal hull and deck shone like a polished mirror. I sat under a phosphorescent tree growing out of the deck. It had the feel of belonging there, and so did I. As I sat and watched a moon rose, bright and stunning in […]

An Other World – I Dreamed The Moon

I dreamed the moon. What more is there to say?  

Spirit Horse – Good Hair

An Other World – Dark Matter Dream

I dreamed I could see the Dark Matter, the glue holding the universe together. Lo and behold it moves in spiral patterns, filling the nooks and crannies between celestial bodies.

An Other World – Infinite Gold World Dream

I dreamed I was floating in an infinite golden world. The terrain was warm and inviting; there wasn’t a right angle to be seen.  Then my altitude started to change. The altimeter spun out of control and I soared higher and higher. Suddenly I was separated from my warm, golden spiral world by a distorted […]

An Other World – Memories Dream

I dreamed I was ten, old enough for my grandparents to let me watch the sunset with them. We rocked in big rocking chairs painted in Easter Egg colors, they sipping their cocktails, me my sweet tea. As dusk fell the sky took on an ethereal light. For a moment, just one moment, it was […]

An Other World – Moon Flower Dream

I dreamed of balmy breezes and salty skin. The stars draped me in wonder, and the moon rose like a bright flower over a calm sea.

Of Angles and Art

I dreamed of stairways within stairways. Impossible, never ending angles, as if Escher himself had constructed them.

Welcome!

Welcome to my internet home! Come on in, have a cuppa, and browse around. You’ll find everything from pen and ink drawings to equine and canine portraits to complex fractal art. I love it all, so I venture where my heart takes me. It’s worth checking back often. I will add more work to the […]

Blue And Light

Blue and Light was created in collaboration with Brad Stefanov. He created a beautiful fractal-based piece that I then manipulated into this image. Fun stuff with a beautiful result! The matted and framed piece is currently on display at Angles & Art of Haverhill, 80 Wingate Street, Haverhill, Massachusetts. It is available for purchase. If […]

Sitting Blue

Sometimes I create what I call a “mother image” such as Blue Meditation and then create derivative pieces from the it. Sitting Blue is such a piece. I see a fantastical creature in it. What do you see? The matted and framed piece is currently on display at Angles & Art of Haverhill, 80 Wingate […]

Blue Meditation

Blue Meditation is a dreamy, surreal creation. The matted and framed piece is currently on display at Angles & Art, 80 Wingate Street, Haverhill, Massachusetts. It is available for purchase.

Fire and Ice

The title Fire and Ice derives from the colors and shapes in this piece. To me it’s very dramatic.

If you’d like it for other purposes, contact me and we’ll […]

Faces In The Wood

Sometimes I create what I call a “mother image” such as Good Wood and then create derivative pieces from the it. Faces In The Wood is such a piece. The matted and framed piece is currently on display at Angles & Art of Haverhill, 80 Wingate Street, Haverhill, Massachusetts. It is available for purchase. If […]

Midnight Musing

Like a lot of people, I have trouble sleeping some nights. Sometimes I write myself back to sleep. Sometimes I read. Sometimes I create what is in my head. That’s how this piece came to be. The matted and framed piece is currently on display at Angles & Art of Haverhill, 80 Wingate Street, Haverhill, […]

Stairway To Heaven – Blue

I liked Stairway To Heaven – Pink so much I decided to create a version with different colors. The matted and framed piece is currently on display at Angles & Art of Haverhill, 80 Wingate Street, Haverhill, Massachusetts. It is available for purchase. If you’d like it for other purposes, contact me and we’ll discuss […]

Stairway to Heaven – Pink

I’m not sure what inspired this piece other than my curiosity. I was happy with where it led me that day. The matted and framed piece is currently on display at Angles & Art of Haverhill, 80 Wingate Street, Haverhill, Massachusetts. It is available for purchase. If you’d like it for other purposes, contact me […]

Good Wood

SOLD! This piece was inspired by a photo of a beautiful piece of wood I found in a field. The matted and framed piece has sold. Prints are available. If you’d like it for other purposes, contact me and we’ll discuss your needs. I’m pretty adventurous about creating things. Email me at sharon@sharonnetzley.com for information […]

Venturing into creating art with digital tools and loving it!

I’ve been experimenting with using digital art-creating tools and getting some amazing results. Here is one of them. It’s a portrait of Reveille and I that captures a tender moment. I loved that horse. We learned so much together!

Experiment in Blue.

Watercolor, micron pen, gel pen.

Music – Peace (I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day)

Peace on earth. I think about it all the time, particularly at this time of year. This song, based on a Longfellow poem, is beautiful and touching, both the words and the music. I hope you enjoy my take on it. Special thanks to E.J. Ouellette for playing guitar and recording it for and with […]

Inspiration

Inspiration, where does it come from? Listening. Reading. Writing. Playing. Observing. Talking out ideas. Inspiration comes from doing, even if what you’re doing is watching the clouds drift by.     Posted with Blogsy
