Buddhist Magazines

I am still not working, however been very busy. One of the things I am doing is cleaning up and organizing my hard drives-what a mess. Normally I don't take time to keep up with it. This is a big job and I am in the mood to do it. Also think I'm going to take down all my unfinished paintings and lay them flat in a dark place-tired of looking at them. Mostly though, I am going through a big stack of Buddhist magazines my friend Annie loaned me. Shambhala Sun has the best art...I wonder if reading Buddhist literature is the equivalent of meditating-because I feel pretty good!

This Image "The Gourd Garden (3). Copyright Elena Ray 2002. As I was going through my drives I found this old montage series I made from photographs I took of Tim's gourd garden when we lived in Arizona. I photographed the garden regularly throughout it's growth, then photographed the gourds when they were dried, as simple still lifes against a plain background. Then I montaged the location images with the still life images in Photoshop, laying an additional painted wood texture in it. 17 x22 Giclee.
