Interests and Personality
| Biography | Hi, everyone! I'm May. I was born in 1951 in beautiful New England, and have always lived there. I have only recently ventured into the visual arts. Mostly retired due to Stage IV breast cancer, I still work part time as an advocate for persons with disabilities. I love my new home by a little brook, with my love John and three very strange (normal) cats.
I work primarily in digital collage and photography. I'd love it if you'd visit my blog at RIPENESSREDUX.BLOGSPOT.COM and say hello! |
| Interests | Collage and other art, graveyards, folk instruments, herbs, tarot, minerals, paganism and other earth-based spirituality, writing, chocolate, cats, everybody's story |
| Music | British Isles and American traditional music, other traditional and folk music, 'Hymnody of Earth' (Malcolm Dalglish), Anonymous 4, classical choral works, Mozart, and at least some of practically every genre there is |
| Films | Shadowlands, The Piano, The Secret of Roan Inish, Tarnation, Rivers and Tides, Born Into Brothels, The Hours, What's Eating Gilbert Grape, Southern Comfort |
| Television | It mostly sucks |
| Books | Memoirs and biography; poetry, especially by W.B. Yeats and Wendell Berry; Holy the Firm by Annie Dillard; The Egyptian Book of the Dead, translated by Normandi Ellis; the astonishingly perfect prose of Jane Austen; non-fiction writings on brain biology, genetics, and many other subjects |
| Heroes | Mother Teresa; Gandhi; Oskar Schindler; Frodo; my oncologist; Ram Dass, who I thought was a goofball, but who then went out and went through a lot of crap and came back to talk about it humbly. |

Thanks, AndersAnjou. I know that background's problematic. I wanted to ask the guy to move his truck, for one thing :-)

Hello!
Finally took the time to look through your work! One picture especially that got my attention... "The Belted Cows"!!!
But you know what, I would replace the background with something else... Trye that and see what happens. I think it is interesting that all the cows are looking rather intense on something tha the viewer can´t see!

What are you up to in your pic? Little mesage I have been leaving for Susie's friends.Susie, one of the friends listed at your site, is ill. A get well letter would do her heart good and cheer her up a bit. We live in a world that does not apriciate art. We must care for eachother. So leave a post on her board if you have time. Put a smile on her face when she gets home from the hospital. L John TOX

Wow, Sally Mae, thank you so much for giving me those details! I have no art training, and I'm almost afraid to paint...certainly afraid to show much of it on public websites! Dianne, thank you for the compliment! And Ted, you sound like a person I'd really like to know. I'll try to get a few good pics of the darlin' kitties :-)

what I do with red. you can too. base color of yellow or blue (or both) then glaze glaze glaze (not usually with medium, just wash) and glaze with all the hues I have of transparent reds. Designating one for 'dark' one for light' etc. Did I mention 'glaze'!? endless layers. And as little white as possible.

"Abandoned Service Station: Unlocked Door" shows amazing details. Keep observing and creating more cool shots.

The first time I saw that movie I just sobbed through about 2/3 of it. It just touched a chord.

Yes, it is...I was so surprised to find out that Holly Hunter actually played the piano music for that movie. Amazing.
