Bread

#DigitalArt #VirtualArt #VirtualPhotography #SecondLife
A woman in an 17th century peasant dress and cap stands with her back turned to the viewer by a wooden table, looking down at a cutting board with a cut loaf of bread, another with butter, a bowl of apples, and a jug. The scene is lit by candles, and the illumination from a fireplace in the left background.

A Question

So insidious and nefarious is the international criminal conspiracy #Antifa, that it has even infiltrated #SecondLife!

Fighting authoritarianism one Iced Lavender Cream Oat Matcha at a time.

Orbit a Nazi today!

(Ok, maybe don't: you'll get in trouble. But have harsh words with them!)
A woman sitting on a dark step and wearing an Antifascist Action (Antifa) tee shirt looks up at the camera as she reaches down for a paper coffee cup.

#DigitalArt #VirtualPhotography #VirtualArt #SecondLife
In a darkened room a woman in a green dress sits, her back to the viewer, on the piano bench in front of a piano that is covered with a large canvas shroud. A carpet is partially rolled up on the floor to her left, and the shadowy pattern of a casement window seen to her right is traced in sunlight upon her figure, parts of the piano, and the wall. A metronome sits upon the top of the piano.

In a shadow room with dark wooden paneling, a sideboard stands behind a round enameled tea table, the table cloth partially pulled off. One chair behind the table has been upset and lies on its side. Shards of a broken tea cup and saucer lie on the floor beside the tea table, and a rug that has been pulled up.

Four painted canvases are stacked against a wall, the discoloration of that wall showing where they once hung. On an easel sits a painting of the same room, with the paintings still hanging on the wall and a woman exiting through a door. A drop cloth obscures what appears to be a chair behind the easel.

"Mermaids"

An image on display at my show "Water" at the Petite Industrial Gallery.

Although not very "dramatic" perhaps, I'm especially fond of this one because I find it so evocative of my own memories.

Three women in bathing suits stand hesitantly at the edge of a large public pool, their backs to the camera. One leans down. Black and white.
