Stream of consciousness in pictures

Post updated:

I was searching to write about stream of consciousness in the literary sense and came across with some works in painting and in photography that has the title stream of Consciousness. I published two pictures I found interesting and left a message to the photographer as I always do and got an e-mail. I've been blogging for two years and for the first time someone complained. No problems. I have received many thanks for promoting people out of the mainstream artistic scene.

These pictures are mine.

Right one: Stream of consciousness when we are facing the horrors of the world (Anna Politkovskaya is at the picture behind my avatar)

Left picture: Looking at James Joyce's Ulysses that will be one of the authors I'll talk about tomorrow when approaching stream of consciousness in the literary sense. Why should I promote a starlet when I can have Vanessa Redgrave at 'Julia" in a picture?

Now I understand why some people get the pictures, publish them without credits and use them as they want. But I cannot do it. Only once in two years it caused misunderstanding.

Now I'm stimulated to do a stream of consciousness photo with water... YaY!

My voice if you're curious

I just did it and will not listen or I'm sure I'll not publish. Hope you like the art work by Matisse, Warhol and Monet. Bye! I'm blushing...

Mark Twain, Golf and Snakes

You can find at this forum some great pictures of American golf coursers.

Looking at the left picture convinced me that Mark Twain is right when he says

"Golf is a good walk spoiled.".

Alexander Lebedev offered 1 million dollars reward for information about Anna Politkovskaya's killers

You might be surprised if you search for the first post of this blog. It's a Anna Politkovskaya's quotation and I have already published other posts about this woman who was fighting to tell the truth about Russian corruption and other problems. Alexander Lebedev was the co-owner with Anna of the newspaper Novaya Gazeta and he was devastated at that time and offered the 1 million dollars reward as you can see at this video. Now it seems he forgot about her or is frightened but I'm publishing this post because Anna's death will never be forgotten. He even forgot he said that the Russian secret services as "totally out of control". I just watched him at BBC's interview with Stephen Sackur and when asked about Anna's killers he showed he doesn't care any more. She is an amazing woman whose work could make a huge change in this world since she was denouncing those who work the other way. So, I will keep asking: 'Who killed Anna Politkovskaya?' and I'm not alone since Anna has fans all over the world. At this video you will see her blood at the entrance of her house and her body being carried in a black plastic bag. This is the first time I saw it and I confess I was horrified. But it's worthy watching 'Murdering the Truth in Russia" you can find here. For the first time I write a post like this but I cannot keep silent or touch very serious questions in a tangent way. Sometimes we have to scream to be heard and a human being like Anna Politkovskaya deserves so. This is the least I can do. R.I.P. Anna Politkovskaya ‘People sometimes pay with their lives for saying out loud what they think,’ Anna Politkovskaya Her books are available at Amazon.

Glennray Tutor and his amazing photo realistic universe

I found out Glennray Tutor's amazing photorealistc paintings and at his site he gives a link to Eye Candies's post dedicated to his art. It is so good that I decided to copy it. I'm sure you will love these paintings but don't forget to visit Glennray's site to see more of his art. I'm glad he will never be in any famous exhibition such as Documenta or Paris and Venice Biennals because it's a honour to promote great works like that.

Magic Childhood07/21/2010 2 Comments Seeing the artwork of photorealist Glennray Tutor is difficult to believe that it is oil on canvas. The details in colors, forms and lighting are simply oustanding! His themes are so attractive to the eye: depicting still life inspired by various toys such as marbles, cars, comics and candy, all waking up memories from the joyful period of childhood. Make sure to check out his galleryfor more breathtaking images!

Photo Realism by Monica Blake

Right: Temptation

Left: Sole Mates

These are two examples of how Monica Blake is very skilled in photo realistic painting. I feel like eating chocolate.

You have to visit her site and check that she is very creative.

"Sole Mates" is a very interesting tittle for the left painting. Both paintings are so sensual...

Mugdock Country Park pictures by Plot Tracer: the million colors of the world

I just came across with Plot's blog and found some of the pictures he took at the Mugdock Country Park in Scotland.

For me who is used to tropical lights and landscapes it is so amazing to see some of the lights of the world!

I loved these two pictures and also Plot's explanation about "decay":

"One of the most beautiful things in the world is decay. In cities, when old buildings fall out of use and are taken by nature, or brought down to make way for something new, I love to stop and watch or photograph. This isn't destruction. Decay is renewal. It is some wonderful thing coming to the end of it's usefulness and making way for something new or better. This is the same in the forest. "

Monument to peace by Richard Bartle

Richard Bartle has been dedicating his art to promote peace and raising political issues with great artistic value.

A punk when teenager who used to gather with his friends at Peace Gardens, Sheffield city, UK, he did seven life-size sculptures made of stain using a Picasso's work.

They are perched on the chimney of Bar Ha!Ha! on St Paul’s Parade next to the Peace Gardens.

Bartle says:

"We live in a society where the media seem to perpetuate a feeling of nihilism on behalf of governments and big business as method of keeping us all in a state of fear and depression, it seems also that those who lobby against these power groups are equally as guilty of this. In my work I refuse this state of nihilism – I look for hope in all situations, and long for a world where dialogue triumphs over violence and the focus of life shifts from the negative to positive.”

More about this work here. I loved the way he put the media creating the nihilist sentiment. If you are following the news today you know how far the world is from peace.

Peace became a word that doesn't inspires the same feelings it did in the 60ies and 70ies.

This is very strange.
