Art is an exacting goddess that demands one’s offering of heart, mind and body.

Nurture Yourself – with Divine Oneness
Opportunity ©photography by Isadora DeLaVega
Artwork is personal. Whether you view a painting by the great masters in a museum or a painting in a gallery or art show, you feel a personal connection to it as you look at it.
My husband and I decided a very long time ago to refrain from purchasing gifts for any occasion. Instead, we felt that a piece of Art would be much more enjoyable for both of us. Over the course of years, we have purchased a great deal of Art.
The photograph of the above painting called ‘Opportunity’ was a Christmas gift we have enjoyed viewing every day.
We admire it. It reminds us every day that life is a challenge. Our journeys won’t always be smooth or without stumbles.
However, it’s in our ability to rise above disappointments and setbacks that we can overcome the struggles. Sometimes, in the darkness, there is light, but we are blinded by our disappointments and fail to see what could be right in front of us.
The moment I saw the painting, I knew it would be added to my Bucket List. It has not disappointed us.
The artist Juan ‘One’ Sepulveda creates works of Art with inspirational Symbolism. His style is unique and speaks to the viewer of various moments in life’s journey,
On his website, he writes: “From the vibrant energy of my ‘Inspirational Symbolism’ to the intricate optical play of ‘Perspectivism’, this space merges passion with canvas. Explore, enjoy, and uncover the layered interpretations within Art with a Purpose.©JuanSepulveda.
The meaning behind the painting:
In our journey through “LIFE,” we often encounter opportunities and disappointments. In this painting, a person appears defeated after a door closes in front of him. The disappointment of his recent loss has drained all his energy and prevented him from noticing the other opportunities available.
The painting intends to help the viewer realize that we are bound to find closed doors in our lives, but our perseverance will lead us to find other opportunities.©JuanSepulveda
Juan ‘One’ Sepulveda values his relationship with God. In his work, he portrays the struggles we encounter with inspirational meanings.
Life is not a straight and easy road along which we travel free and unhampered, but a maze of passages through which we must seek our way, lost, confused, and now and again blindly.

and I am in that place in me.
We are One.

Life Waning 2024©photography by Isadora
Gardening is the art that uses flowers and plants as paint and the soil and sky as canvas.
~~~ Elizabeth Murray ~~~
When the time has come for precious flowers to leave us,
they play a cherished symphony of shades of color for us to further enjoy.
Too often our fear of endings grasps our emotions.
We banish them to the disposable world
And, their beauty ends too soon.

Crimson Creative #264 – Secrets in the Shed
It was a hot August summer night.
We sat around the fire pit drinking, watching the flames shoot toward the sky.
Carlton’s eyes had an evil glow as big as the flames. He looked sinister.
He started telling tales of folklore horrors. He always ended with burying the body under the shed floor. I bury them there because I want to return and unbury them one day.
“You’re sick, Carlton!” “All I can say is, why?”
“Why not, my Man? There’s something about the smell of blood.”
The police found Carlton dead inside the shed after an anonymous call.

Crimson Creative Challenge #257 – Shifting Sands
I spent time building something that could not be created. You showed me I had counted on the illusion of my heart. Perhaps it’s time to say goodbye, my love, words you dare not want to hear.
Our lives together can’t be built on crumbly silt of sand. It would fall upon itself, persisting in the dream we believed it would succeed. It’s hard to distinguish whether our world is a reality or a delusion.
Yet, I didn’t know that shifting sands would lie beneath my feet.
I toiled with hungered determination and a fearless resolve. Faithful in my yearnings that you and I could be. I felt a loving future that I thought our lives could share. But, now it’s time to say goodbye. Instead, I’ll spend time constructing a newness to survive without your presence in my mind or throbbing in my heart.

Autumn – A Will I must Obey
Autumn ©goggle image
Autumn is a beautiful time of year. The trees are changing from their summer clothes and donning various autumn-fall colors. Beautiful crimsons, golden yellows, mustards and cadmium, verdant grassy greens fading to blue and purple with each morning’s dew; a feast for our eyes to witness before the impending winter snows. It is a memory for me, as I don’t experience those changes here in my beloved Florida. Still, a walk near the shore at the beach on a balmy, windy day with peaceful ocean sounds has replaced those fall days left behind.

Autumn: A Will I Must Obey
The green, green grass of summer
has changed to shades of brown,
And the smiling face of an autumn
is looking like a circus clown.
Crimson leaves and purple sunsets,
too, soon will fade away,
For nature and the seasons
know a will they must obey.
Grass isn’t green forever,
and nothing gold can stay,
But springtime follows winter
When the snow melts away.

Nurture Yourself – Contemplate You
Watch your thoughts, they become your words;
Watch your words, they become your actions;
Watch your actions, they become your habits;
Watch your habits, they become your character;
Watch your character, it becomes your destiny
