fantasy art women

This poem is about seeking out the magic that is mine and yours,fantasy art women., fairies in art, mermaids that sing deep in the ocean to sailors they have captured for true loves sake. All we need do is decide that it is real to us and embrace its music.

Fantasy art women
in your backyard
right where I left them.
Surprised?
Not to worry
I am sure they are still breathing
resting under covers of flower petals.

Fantasy women
who come out after dark
wanting to see if the tide has come in
if the ocean still roars.
They run to meet the foam
laughing through tears
hoping for magic
knowing it can be found
somewhere.

Fantasy art
I keep my canvas primed
ready for inspiration.
Last time I looked
my goddess' were singing
so I began to dance.

This fantasy art woman
me
fantasy woman
art on every wall
has learned to dance and sing
from stories told on canvas.
Neglected at times
only a goddess might think so
jealous soul.
I will hear my goddess say,
"Did you forget my voice?
My paintings are my heart."
The only answer possible
"No, not ever."

Innocent angels still wait
I draw them
keep them in my pocket
lest I forget their wings are fragile.
Lest i forget wing of my own.
I will forever hear their whispers
after every sunset
and before each sunrise
what else it there to do?

Fantasy woman
yes
I hold out for that magic
I paint and sculpt on rainy days
days that seem closed
yet days that mention flight
despite the weather.

Fantasy art women
drawings I hold dear
special efforts at times
for free fantasy art
mine for the giving
giving blessings.

Goddess art
I tried to call
left messages about my plans
watercolors meeting paper
oils meeting cotton
clay meeting my fingers.

There were whimsical angels
inside every poem you wrote to me
I put them in a jar
and hid them till I felt ready
to hear their singing.
my fantasy
angel art.
Dear whimsical angels.
My fantasy art women
left out after dark
in your back yard.

Hanging pictures in a space, along with adding decorative flair to a room, also allows us to bring style and character to the spaces reflecting our individuality. Everything we choose, colour, type or shape of artwork adds our personal touch and warmth to any space. How the wall art or framed photographs or any other collectibles are hung, either as a single frame or as a grouping of frames, influences the entire look of any room. Hanging pictures properly needs more deliberation and concentration than one might actually think as it is not just hammering a nail in the wall and resting your picture on it.

The following are 7 best tips and tricks for hanging pictures besides following the foremost guideline which is to hang the picture at the eye level for the average person.

1. The wall art, when hung, should aesthetically please the eyes of an admirer once fixed on the wall. So remember, the size of the frame should always be proportionate to the size of the wall. Smaller frames best adorn the narrow walls whereas larger frames or group of frames look best on comprehensive wall sizes.

2. Wall art should be relative to furniture size. An artwork broader than the item beneath will give a feeling of "off-balance". Make sure that the length of the frame is 75% to 80% of the length of the furniture piece placed below and should also not be placed too high; the distance between the base of the frame and the top furniture should be 20 cm maximum.

3. If you want your picture to stand out and make a statement, select a picture that best complements the colour of your room or couch or carpet and effectively brings out the mood you want to attain. Vibrant and bold colours add flamboyance whereas pastel shades infuses serenity in the ambiance. However if you are looking for an art-deco-inspired look, then main colour of the picture should be in contrast to that of the walls. For instance if the walls are green then select a picture that has bright red tones in it as it will not only make the wall focal point but also add vigor to the entire room.

4. Hang the picture securely. Make sure that the frame rests flat against the wall and use specially designed picture hooks instead of nails. If the frame is heavy or very large then install the hooks in the wall studs to get the robust support that is required.

5. In recent years, the trend of an art shelf has emerged to rest the art pieces. In fact it is a great way to give a stylish and contemporary look to a room. You can also mix and match the artwork with other ornamental objects like silver, crystal, books and other collectibles to create a more elegant vignette.

6. Hang one big picture or canvas in a prime position to make a statement. A focal point in the room can be created in this way where a natural bay window or fire place is missing. A bench or stool can be placed below the large paintings to "anchor" them to the space.

7. While hanging pictures in groups, try to add diversity to the arrangement by using frame and mats of different shapes and sizes but still complimentary to each other.

To tackle a blank wall can be very intimidating but I am sure with these tips on hanging pictures, you can create a well-dressed wall.
