I like to create in solitude , alone with my thoughts and feelings, far away from distractions


" Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night. " (Edgar Allan Poe)



Creativity is about intention, expression, and choice... At once cerebral and yet visceral, it is what you think about in your head and what you feel in your gut. (Randall Sexton)


This too is a favorite quote of mine, and for some reason it has always resonated deep with me!.

"“My own brain is to me the most unaccountable of machinery—always buzzing, humming, soaring roaring diving, and then buried in mud. And why? What’s this passion for? ~ taken from a letter Virginia Wolfe wrote , 28 Dec. 1932.

About me,
I paint, sketch and use other mediums of expression outside of Flickr.
Digital art ,
I use a tablet , Photoshop ( CS5 ) , Corel Paint and I received the new Corel Draw graphics suite as gift, i have not tried anything with it yet, put plan too soon !


Others describe me as reclusive, stubborn , eccentric and an occasional goofball,
But I think I am eccentric first and a goofball running a close second!
.

What is art?
a thought that becomes more.......


I appreciate sincerity above all else, quality above quantity, originality of thought and expression.


I share my works with my real life friends and family, and enjoy having a " place " they can go and see what I've been up to :-) I have always helped others when asked via Flickr mail, within reason please!

What I love to click on;

original expressions of creativity, of that spark!

Expressions of real emotion, or sense of awe and wonder.

love detailed 3D renders that blur the line of reality as well as real life photography that shows the beauty that is missed with the human eye.

Artists that post original paintings, inks and mixed media hold a very special place, as we are the most critical of our works.

I frequently add favorite stars to any work that shows originality, effort, emotion or sincerity, I like to encourage people through words and stars,

Every person who chooses to share their original creations deserves a kind word, regardless of skill level or personal taste.
I do put works that I find exceptional into galleries, have a look at them on my stream, extraordinarily great work there!!

" I have felt the edge and thought of flight but decided that could wait a while longer* " ~ quote from a poem I wrote many years back

To some of my Flickr friends ~
thank you for the words that reminded me of how strong I really am <3

Be nice to each other and be sincere because in this digital world all you really have is your word!

" In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act ". - George Orwell

    "Se que no digo nada nuevo sobre Patricie, pero igual quiero escribirlo. Patricie tiene una mirada especial sobre las cosas, condensa toda una historia en una imagen sin dejar cabo suelto, detalles, colores, todo tiene un sentido y siempre cargados de creatividad. Me gusta ver sus fotos y dejar que mis ojos descubran todos esos detalles que ella pone para sorprendernos, y quedarme con al sensación de que su foto es bella, fresca, atrevida y provocadora para los sentidos. Adoro tu trabajo Patricie (perdona no escribirlo en ingles, no sabria expresarlo)"

    "Lucie...Every time I come to your stream I get excited to see what you've created in your mind. You have a finesse and flare that is amazing. Your attention to little details is superb and you usually always tell a story and/or make me think when I am viewing your images. You have always been so kind to my flickr stream and most recently to me as a wonderful friend. I'm happy to know you and hopefully we will collaborate one day soon. Love you lots...eats tons of oreos and I send you many hugs"

    "Nooo way!!! Im the first.... Woohoooo ;)
    I so love Patricies work, from the moment I lay eyes on her work I was head over heals in love. All she makes is so rich in colour and detail. Great editing on the avatar, with beautiful real life like lines on the bodyshape. Also she has a very own style..creativity yells out of her work. Always telling a story... yes... Im a huge fan"
