polar bear submerged in iced river looking for food; bird trying to

obtain money with singer Jenny Lind on 50 Euro note: singing and/or

prophesying for income; "singing for supper" with regard to accounts

and teachings of The Bible and Jerusalem: the ancient food bowl;

cascades below representing how generations are influenced by each

other through singing voices, past and present; growth and new plants

amidst; more of my favorite fruit (strawberries)

Painting as climbing, rendering an ascent to higher dwelling; in

between realms (home, icy/rocky wilderness with waterfall, spring

field, under water); "to be a star"

I am one who believes we all use our eyes to see, but it's hard

to tell whose eyes see the truth

I am one who believes that Art is the Portal to the Soul

! am one who sings in awe, amazement,

and thanks to Mother Earth for all she has given

us in the past and all she will give us in the future.

Elaine Tammy Smith

I am one who is open to try different things.

I see that I can love myself. I can be a friend to myself.

I am my own friend. I have two sides to myself.

I have a womanly side and a manly side.

Eric Falstrom

trying to illustrate unforgiveness: church with clock for steeple to

represent source and duration of unforgiveness amidst rushing current;

bird catching bee as trying to ascertain truth (honey frequently used

as metaphor for truth in Bible); growth upon growth but not from or

for each other (above), perception of where home is turned on its

side; red line as impassable "red tape" blocking access to

forgiveness; more sea glass as example that forgiveness/redemption is

proper way of nature

Eric Falstrom

eyes representing endless feeling of being watched anonymously by

disapproving mass, paralyzed and frozen in fear from sensation of it;

immobilized by fear-based thinking and inability to imagine/ discern

what is expected in order to be loved and accepted; one main large eye

on far right; background representing peaceful terrains commonly

sought for relief: deep blue tranquility, green forest, and dream of

camping in Canada's lakes and forests in Summertime

birthday card for dear friend with common sorrows, passion for faith

and church (flame of flowers behind); how she inspires joy in music

(smiling piano keyboard); the sky of open freedom she manifests

enabling me to exit my cage of fear inside; "2" refers to both her age

in decade and also how we regularly gather in Christ's name (Matthew

18:20); more peaceful terrains sought for relief; dark background to

recall time at museum and planetarium

cosmetic mirror reflecting addition of goats representing stubbornness

of self-worship and/or self-obsession, the subconscious pagan-ish

perception of creation in pop culture; left and right eyes represent

before and after: one on left looking hopefully into vanity as

self-discovery, one on right subsequently dissillusioned by its

emptiness; many blocked this way and on this road through life; guy

making "O" just to mimic the shape of the cosmetic mirror; inclusion

of strawberries because they're my favorite fruit
