Who is an artist? What do they create? What is the definition of art? Who are the latest artists? What is their claim to fame? Is this art or what is art? Is music an art? What about writing? Does strange art count as art? . . . is life imitating art? What is the value of art? How much would you pay for art?

Lotus Bud


In Buddhism the lotus flower symbolizes faithfulness. The golden lotus mentioned in Buddhist sutras has two meanings: the symbol for the achievement of enlightenment, and a real flower which is beyond normal perception.

Windmills, clogs, cheese – these images come to mind when thinking of the Netherlands. But probably the most ultimate image of the country is the tulip – the Netherlands’ most famous flower
For ages tulips have been a huge part of the Dutch culture. In the Netherlands tulips are presented for any occasion, often complete with their own mythology and hidden meaning, depending on flower type and color.

Their delightful blooms and vibrant colors are a great source of inspiration for my art. I am a passionate gardener, I have planted many colors and species of flowers in my garden to ensure I have a never-ending source of inspiration. My work is featured on a series of stationery products and greeting cards.

I am a Designer / Photographer who enjoys taking on an array of project types. I have also a degree in Fine Arts. I welcome any challenge that provoke my creative thought.
Photography fills a creative void for me. I have explored all kinds of creative arts over the years, but still they don’t quite touch that part of me that wants to ‘draw’ the real world as I see it around me.I don’t just go out looking for pretty pictures – I search for patterns that repeat, for flowing movement, for undercurrents that subtly define a subject. I look for shadows and reflections, and contrasts, and interesting juxtapositions. Even in faces I look for the defining angle, the personality revealed, that glimmer of life looking back at me through my viewfinder. Photography for me, therefore, is just another way of being in the world!.

Female Tattoo Gallery - Incredible Designs for Women
Author: Timothy Croy

While at one time tattoos were more popular with men, in recent years tattoos have becoming increasingly popular with women as well. Although they were initially considered socially unacceptable for women, with the variety of celebrities that are now sporting elaborate tattoos, they are becoming more acceptable and popular for women. Of course most women want to go with a feminine design that will add a beautiful touch to their body.

Tattoos for women are usually much prettier and a bit smaller than tattoos for men. Some of the most popular tattoo designs for women include flowers, butterflies, and beautiful Celtic designs as well. Usually tattoos for women are not as aggressive and heavy and the lines tend to be thinner and lighter for women as well. However, as tattoos for women becoming increasingly popular, gradually many women are starting to go for larger tattoos as well.

As tattoos for women are getting larger, more women are going for beautiful hearts, Celtic roses, tribal tattoos, stars, and a variety of other designs. Women are also becoming quite experimental when it comes to their tattoos, with some of them coming up with their own designs, and some women going for tattoos that are quite large as well. Usually you can find all of the most popular designs for women at a female tattoo gallery.

If you are planning on getting a tattoo, you may want to consider checking out online tattoo galleries for some great ideas. Remember that when you get a tattoo it is going to be with you for a very long time, so you definitely want to choose something that looks great and that you really love. This is no time to pick out something that you only kind of like. There are many great designs available today, so be sure you pick out a design that you really love.

One of the best places to look for tattoo designs for women is at an online female tattoo gallery. Online galleries allow you to shop for a great tattoo at your own convenience. You can browse through hundreds of tattoos from the comfort of your home, and when you find one that you love you can purchase the design for a great price. Most tattoo shops are quite limited when it comes to female choices, so it is definitely best to shop at online female tattoo galleries to find what you really want for your tattoo.

The challenge is to create art with the simplist lines and little color and try to show emotion or evoke an emotional response. Email them to me and I'll feature them here for all to see.
