Frank and the Bluejay

There's always a story behind every artwork...some paintings are created to signify respect of nature, or some for adoration of beauty; some to resonate our spiritual self, while others to scream our sentiments, yet this particular artwork that Tagged ArtLover Group will present to you on this article is a story of friendship beyond the ordinary. 

   It is the behind the scene story of a Bluejay painting done by Frank Powell. A monumental exchange of gratitude between an artist and a dying creature. Frank will always be thankful for the memories the little soul gave, while the bird will cherish way beyond death his last days with a loving artist.

   The following is that touching story from the artist himself:

 Hi all of you Artists and Art lovers 

there is a touching storry to todays Artwork, and i Promised to tell the storry behind that 

little bluejay bird.

we found him sitting outside in the snow... he couldend fly no more ..to old at the end of 

his days waiting on his end to come.

Bluejays are very shy birds ... so i was talking very calmly to him as i walk over to him and 

picked him of the ground ... that little soul was shiffering and only have way alive.

i took him inside .. gave him some food and a warm place to be ..

it took some time, but we became friends he even cuttled with me ... staid on my shoulder

 

... and i tried to make his last days as easy as posible for him.

he even got some life back and he enjoyed walking around ( couldend fly no more ..just to

 old ) ... and liked beeing peddet... so we shared a few very nice days .. and i felt so 

blessed that this little soul shared his last days with me ..trusting me ..seeing me as a friend 

knowing that i was trying to help him ...he gave me so much ... it ment so much to me that

 a wild and very shy bird trustet me.

as his little heart gave up on him .. i held him in my hands giving him back what i got from

 him ... sharing moments in live beeing there for each other ...he peacefully went from us

 ... closed his eyes .... to finaly be free again ... still getting wet eyes as i am writing this 

...as this is a very touching storry that just happend ..

may the wind carry your little soul to a better place.


i hope this storry toucht you ..the way it toucht me

Commentaries and art sharing on ArtLover

The past days there are some lively exchanges of idea and commentaries at Tagged ArtLover Group on its Facebook page...some of these remarks are nourishing or I should say quite surprising. It was unexpected and I think it would be worth immortalizing here, so we can look back and peek into the minds of art lovers. Some are quotable quotes that render varied points of views regarding an artworks or affirmation of "LIKE(s)" on certain posts. 

  As Fher Ymas had said "wisdom are often found in unusual places..." and this includes the networking sites. Our profile picture are regularly change to presents art works from our members...hopefully to gain likes and critique. Here are some:

Kaye Lasola 

This is how I see it...The angle of the head slightly bows signifies... she does not have the courage to look at what she's doing...The closed eyes signify discomfort... The curve lips signify...the lady is on the verge of crying, she might be doing it against her will... The two arms closed to the body signify unhappiness, unsafe feeling, nervousness... And the main point of that art is her breast...not the lady herself....

Maheshwar N. Sinha AGGRESSIVELY BEAUTIFUL.... I cannot stop to write something....everyone can create something,,, but it's the way...just it's here... one of great goals of recreation/art is to sublime our passion, you got there... million thanks to Powell! This art has just hanged me--I'm dead man! Is there anyone to save me...(:

Portia Burton Her tresses remind me of the poisonous adder that bit Cleopatra's breast to put her to eternal sleep!


Melissa Tandoc I agree on both sides...artists have a responsibility to the viewers... we cannot put things together and then call it art... on being artists, I think everyone has the capacity to create but not all engage in doing so... it also takes talent.There is sacredness in art. On that matter, I say, that not everything that we draw, paint or sculpt "nude" is art...;)

Fher Ymas Visual Artist

Nude painting isn't the only concern for moralist. Even without nudity it can be classified as a smut if it shows filthiness and absurdity. Do we need censorship too in Painting? Of course that would be too harsh...it could mean violation of our freedom of expression BUT then again some freedom are abused...


Maheshwar N. Sinha Philosopher, painter, writer Khalil Zibran's paintings mostly were nude, nudity also suggests purity, yes, Khalil's paintings never looked 'nude' in worldly way...,

Portia Burton when your lines can make music like this painting, why do you need metallic music?

Fher Ymas Visual Artist interesting piece...the triangular approach gave that dimension of height and gravity.

Portia Burton oh,what a composition!the half-page layout is intelligent.

by Janina Cross Medina

Cindy Cynch Thank you so much Fher for sharing my daughter's artwork in your group...this anime drawing is copied only from her favorite Manga Artists Compilation...

Melissa Tandoc That's a good start Cindy Cynch...She'll find her own style as she experiments on other things ;)...good luck and thanks for supporting the group :)

Portia Burton I'd recommend Janina not to develop her art in her mother's shadow.She should explore her own potential.This has helped me,so I want the same for Janina!

by Maurice Dolezal

Portia Burton the strength of this painting lies in the subject's intense eyes which have been done superbly!Salute!

Hemant Kumar congrats to Serena....she has done very nice and appriciable work...compositionwise,frame and colour selection....her work diserve ..for appriciation and exibition...best wishes...

by Elyona Jean Ymas

     Kaye Lasola I look at it as an Egyptian Robot Puppy with a witch hat and a baby crawling :).... or two kids sat down (still with a baby crawling), the heads of the two kids collided with the car....I'm trying to think as a 5-year old this time ^_^...
