In a world where chaos and monotony often prevailed, there existed a realm where beauty thrived—the realm of art. It was a place where colors danced on canvases, melodies whispered through the air, and emotions were etched into sculptures. In this realm, artists weaved their dreams into reality, unlocking the doors to imagination and inviting others to witness the profound beauty that lay within their creations.
The story begins with a young woman named Maya, who possessed a burning passion for art. From an early age, Maya found solace and inspiration in the strokes of a paintbrush, the rhythm of a melody, and the intricate designs of sculptures. She believed that art held a transformative power—one that could touch hearts, provoke thought, and evoke emotions that words alone could not convey.
Maya embarked on a lifelong journey of exploration, diving headfirst into the vast ocean of artistic expression. She immersed herself in the works of the masters, studying their techniques, and deciphering the stories they told through their art. With each encounter, Maya discovered new dimensions of beauty that expanded her own artistic horizons.
As Maya honed her skills, she began to create her own masterpieces. Her brush glided across the canvas, splashing vibrant hues that brought landscapes to life. With every stroke, she infused her creations with a piece of her soul, conveying the depths of her emotions and perspectives on the world.
But Maya soon realized that art was not confined to a single medium. The beauty she sought to capture took many forms—an ethereal ballet, a stirring piece of poetry, the delicate intricacy of a handcrafted ceramic bowl. She understood that art transcended boundaries, existing in the essence of human creativity and expression.
Driven by her thirst for beauty, Maya sought out artists from diverse backgrounds and disciplines. She shared conversations with painters, dancers, writers, and musicians—each encounter revealing a unique facet of the artistic tapestry. Through these interactions, she discovered that art was a universal language that spoke directly to the human spirit, fostering connections and understanding across cultures and time.
One day, as Maya wandered through an art gallery, she stumbled upon a breathtaking sculpture—a fusion of metal and stone that seemed to capture the essence of grace and strength. She was drawn to the sculpture, unable to tear her gaze away from its captivating form.
Lost in contemplation, Maya was approached by the sculptor, an elderly man named Samuel. His weathered hands spoke of a lifetime of artistic dedication, and his eyes gleamed with the wisdom of a seasoned creator. Samuel shared the story behind his masterpiece—a tale of resilience, passion, and the pursuit of inner beauty.
Inspired by Samuel's words, Maya delved deeper into her own artistic journey. She realized that art was not only about creating beauty, but also about discovering it within oneself and others. Maya embarked on a mission to unveil the hidden beauty that dwelled in everyday life—the delicate interplay of light and shadow, the emotions etched into a wrinkled face, the harmony that whispered through the cacophony of city streets.
Maya's artistic endeavors became a celebration of the world's intricacies—a testament to the profound beauty that could be found in even the simplest of moments. Through her art, she encouraged others to pause, to look beyond the surface, and to discover the hidden stories and enchantments that awaited their gaze.
Word of Maya's transformative art spread, drawing people from far and wide to witness the beauty she unveiled. Her creations stirred the souls of onlookers, inviting them to see the world through a new lens, where wonder and awe were found in the most unexpected places.
Maya's legacy became one of inspiration—a reminder that art had the power to uplift, to provoke, and to ignite the spark of creativity within each individual. Through her journey, she taught us to embrace the beauty that surrounds us, to celebrate the diversity of artistic expression, and to recognize that within the realm of art, the human spirit finds its truest form of liberation.
And so, the story of Maya stands as an ode to the boundless beauty that art bestows upon our lives—a symphony of colors, melodies, and visions that nourishes the soul and reminds us of the extraordinary world in which we reside.

Trauma Carnival
I have unpopular opinions on one of my old favorites, The L Word. First is: Jenny is my favorite character. Second: The show was originally about Jenny, her trauma, her broken identity and the way her sexuality was explored as an awakening that brought up many memories of childhood abuse.

Here is another one of my colorings that I did from an adult coloring book. Coloring these pictures is fun and relaxing. All I need to complete are colored pencils and my imagination in making these pages come alive. One note there are adult coloring books that suggest sharing your artwork with others so I am. Please comment on these pieces of 'art'. Thank you.

At the Sheltering Doors
The doors, they always scrambled for the doors first. When they arrive and always by night it was a race to desperately bar the creatures entry to the house in the slow crawl of numb feet that the dream would impose upon him. He never seemed fast enough and the creatures uninhibited by the same constraints always made the doors first. The houses in his dream-scapes vary night to night - Some are mansions, others shacks and some are distorted contortions of his childhood home which burned down when he was ten. But the doors are always the same – frail, loose hinged and never could be fully shut. The creatures too vary – twisted and corrupted forms of animals and people familiar to him: family dogs preternaturally swollen to twice their size with rotting coats of mange and slicked damp with dark liquids of decay. The people too were bloated vestiges of ones vaguely familiar to him but whose names escape him. Their eyes gorged wide with dark blood which streaked their mottled faces in crusted trails like lost rivers which hung from their chins swinging in ropy columns beneath paling yellowed teeth. To let them break through would mean death. This he knew with grave certainty. At the door was desperation and panic as their stench emanated forth, sickly and pungent like vomit and mold and ending in a gruesome exhalation like cancer, the stench sticky and clinging invading his nostrils and lungs never to be expunged. Then in the sudden waking he never knew if he repelled them or not.
