Marilyn Magic

admin — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 17:11:01 +0000

This piece is part of an ongoing series of works from my Marilyn Monroe Series. I’ve been working on this Particular piece for awhile now and it’s still under development, but I wanted to show it. The title at the moment is “Marilyn Magic” but is subject to change as the piece progresses.

KANJI ~ The Art of Symbols

admin — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 16:10:14 +0000

____________________________________________
Kanji is a Japanese system of writing based on borrowed or modified Chinese characters. I’ve always thought that Asian calligraphy was very beautiful and intriguing, and with my new series “Kanji” I’ll be exploring my own interpretations of these ancient characters and their meanings. Combining varying painting styles and mediums, my goal will be to convey not only the meanings of these intricate characters, but also the emotions that these symbols inspire.

Happy Halloween ~ Stingy Jack

admin — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 01:22:51 +0000

I love Halloween, so I thought that it would be fun to do an Art Card and poem for the occasion. Both were also used for The Trading Card Museum’s Holiday Celebrations Promo Card P1. I’ve provided a link to The Trading Card Museum version below.

“Stingy Jack”

When winds blow cold and the hour is late
Stingy Jack comes through the gate
His eyes aglow, their fire bright
as goblins dance in sheer delight.

Upon your step he’ll slowly sneak
As fellow tricksters spy, he’ll speak
His challenge issued, “Trick or Treat?”
You’re warned to give him something sweet.

Be ready on All Hallows Night
All souls are free; expect a fright
Vampires, ghouls, and fairy queen
The night is here, it’s Halloween!

Marilyn Monroe ~ Sneak Peek

admin — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 18:27:58 +0000

I’ve been working on a new Marilyn in preparation for a painting that I’m considering. I’m not sure if this is the one that I’ll use or not, but I’m hoping it will turn out good just the same. It’s 8 x 10, on bristol, and the full piece will be available to view or purchase as soon as I’m finished. I still have a ways to go, but so far she’s coming along nicely.

GAIA ACEO’s Now Available

Rhonda — Fri, 08 May 2009 00:18:41 +0000

My Gaia series ACEO’s are now available in my ART SHOP

My Gaia series was started in the spring/summer of 2005 while taking long walks with my dog Bella. The quiet meditation of our walks allowed me to tune into the surrounding beauty of the upstate New York countryside, and I decided to capture as much of it as I could before the season changed. These walks allowed me to connect to the earth, and consequently myself, in a way that I was unable to during the many years I spent in New York City. Through my photography I tried to capture the quiet majesty of the landscape and internal peace that I felt as a result. I was affected by this series in a special way and I’m hopeful that I’ll be able to continue it very soon.

The Dream

Photography, “Pixie Playground” by Rhonda Havlock
Poetry by Rhonda Havlock

In thickest wood at darkest hour
ancient starlight does empower
Magic’s children to appear
as summer’s solstice draws them near.

In this garden of the moon
where sacred lotus flowers bloom
the well of hope is full and clear
a soul renewed is coming near.

When fireflies by fey are born
a holy oath by them is sworn.
Protect the children lest the fear
their journey now on Gaia’s sphere.

Morning’s close and time is quick
blood runs fast from thorny prick.
New heart beats strong and cries delight
soft night is gone, again there’s light.

With harm to none, baptized by fire
at this the most enchanted hour;
with grace as soft as morning dew
a dream unfolds…and time is new.
