Sorry I totally missed the title you'd placed at the bottom, I can see really numbers on your work though,hense I asked my question.....I thought maybe it was a hidden message of some kind...do you not see it at all??..I attach a screen shot below and show you where they are seen..very weird or magical,would they mean anything to you at all..

Yes, the first one is all digital. The "trees" are actually generated by a "lightning" plugin I don't have for Photoshop anymore. The "fire" is manipulated from a NASA photograph of a nebula.

The second is acrylic on canvas board. There are some metallic paints that don't come across very well in the picture.

I don't know what you mean by "the numbers 4789". There's no numbers in that painting...?

As for what it is, it's sort of what the title says... sort of self-portrait. The wings are reaaally bad. The halo/corona is just a thing I associate with sidhe, sort of like in A.E.'s paintings, giving off light everywhere. The sky is all dark/dim colors because it's sort of... the Many Colored Land? but without light of moon or sun, just self-luminous, but dimmer than the sun would be... (although it's also not really the place I would call "the Greylight Plain".)

Arethinn I like your work,can you explain more on how you did them, is the first image computer generated? and the second hand painted acrylic or water colour?  I like the flow & colour combinations you have used on both of them. What does the numbers 4789 stand for in the second one?..and what does it represent like is there a story behind it?

Oh Morell there is a lot you havnt taken in about me,I've shared it all in our home website.. I passed School Cert art but only just..as I didn't enjoy art at school cos I wasn't allowed to just do what I wanted and using my own mediums,I had to do the directed protocol stuff,which I had no interest in at all..my mind dont work like that, I'm more into free form flow on what I see through my minds eye or right in frount of me ..I am hands on talented though as I was taught by my foster father & mentor hense I went on to own my own recycled native NZ timber furniture business..where I sold items on commission sales in antique shops,sadly the market dropped out,but I still have some stock out in the shops and can take orders via them if the need arises..they are all French polished using shellac..

This is a bad image (I really need to get a good scan.. I think this might be a scan of an out of focus photograph!) of a painting that is not that great to begin with, either... heheh... something I did in college about 20 years ago.

"Portrait of the Artist as One of the Sidhe"

Where being an artist is concerned,there is no definition placed on art,it just is...  outward expression or perception of the depth within ones soul placed onto paper in what ever media one chooses to project,and one has preference to subjects or types of format used to project it, be that pencil sketching,acrylic paints,oil paints, water colour paints,charcoal,pastel,metals,dusts,materials,clay's,glues etc and so on..what ever is part of ones expression outwards works..

Subject Model is a elderly gentleman friend of mine for this piece:-

my work in progress or of completion?..

look-a-like Father Jack from British TV series 'Father Ted'
