Legends of mermaids, whimsical angels, pixie fairies, oh those tiny angels light the pathway for my art trading cards and/or ACEO's.
This lens is about art trading cards, mine and others.
I confess! I am not doing them anymore... no, I tried my hand at them and found them to be too tedious for me. Instead I tip my hat to all those who use their talent to produce these small images. The pics are my cards, but I have put them away in a little box to consider later. Who knows... maybe I will decide to do them again, open that box and consider it all again, but for now I appreciate the endeavors of others.
Enchanted fairies- sing songs and when I close my eyes to listen I am inspired.
Miniature original or limited edition art works. Miniatures collectable art is so fun! Little tiny artworks that are 2.5x3.5 inch in size commonly known as ACEO's, which stands for Art Cards, Editions and Originals.
So yes, this lens will feature my personal ACEO's in jpegs, but as I mentioned I decided not to sell them, not on Ebay or Etsy. I need to concentrate of my paintings for my gallery in New York (yay). I have posted other peoples art trading cards that are on Ebay.. share the love right? Smile.
I am painting bigger stuff for my New York Rep rep and gallery, Monkdogz Urban Art, so that will come when I get a breather.. ha! what is that?!
I will also feature gifts, movies, poems and stories about fairies, mermaids, goddess art, exotic women, whimsical angels and a fantasy world to dream in. I am really into the circus, masks and stuff so that influence will be found here as well.
A note about the little paintings: I have recently repainted the ACEO's that I have posted here. I made them brighter and better! They are all sprinkled with a bit of glittering Hawaiian Fairy dust so as soon as I get them photographed again I will post them. I would like to share with you that, that is how creativity is, one idea springs onto another. We create something as artists and hopefully grow with each one. Ahh such a lovely gift that we can give back to our own selves, the gift of seeing more, feeling more and creating what we have come to know as our vision.

Come on down to the Mermaid Cafe ... - Joni Mitchell's "Carey" is on her album "Blue"
~~*~~
TURN ON THE MUSIC ABOVE...
as you enjoy my lens!
KATHY NOTE:
To me? Joni Mitchell's "Blue" is her best cd.. ever.
Joni Mitchell's original version of "Carey" is also on this cd.
~~*~~
Here are the lyrics to Joni Mitchell's great song:
The wind is in from Africa
Last night I couldn't sleep
Oh, you know it sure is hard to leave here Carey
But its really not my home
My fingernails are filthy, I got beach tar on my feet
And I miss my clean white linen and my fancy French cologne
Oh Carey get out your cane
And Ill put on some silver
Oh you're a mean old daddy, but I like you fine
Come on down to the Mermaid Cafe and I will buy you a bottle of wine
And well laugh and toast to nothing and smash our empty glasses down
Lets have a round for these freaks and these soldiers
A round for these friends of mine
Lets have another round for the bright red devil
Who keeps me in this tourist town
Come on, Carey, get out your cane
Ill put on some silver
Oh you're a mean old daddy, but I like you
Maybe Ill go to Amsterdam
Or maybe Ill go to roam
And rent me a grand piano and put some flowers round my room
But lets not talk about fare-thee-wells now
The night is a starry dome.
And they're playin' that scratchy rock and roll
Beneath the Matalla moon
Come on, Carey, get out your cane
And Ill put on some silver
You're a mean old daddy, but I like you
The wind is in from Africa
Last night I couldn't sleep
Oh, you know it sure is hard to leave here
But, its really not my home
Maybe its been too long a time
Since I was scramblin' down in the street
Now they got me used to that clean white linen
And that fancy French cologne
Oh Carey, get out your cane
Ill put on my finest silver
Well go to the Mermaid Cafe
Have fun tonight
I said, oh, you're a mean old daddy, but you're out of sight.
~ Joni Mitchell

Collectible Spun Glass Figurines and a Fantasy Fairy of the Moon
I write poetry as well as paint and sculpt
Collectible Spun Glass Figurines
set out on the table
picking up a gentle light
stars look on
past the dark
and see their shadows.
The moon never whispers at midnight anymore.
I guess the end has found its way
to being somewhat happy.
Long past the eerie decision
when a dragons angel ran away
and mermaids descended into the sea.
I mark my place.
I hold my compass nearby.
Despite my marooned friend's mistakes
He still claims to have found the answer
and vows to chant its tune
he'll ring its sound forever.
Don't ever trust a tailor
to darn your mending heart
left to his own wisdom
he will post your wings on coasters
neath a glass he meant to wash
and put away on a dusty shelf.
There is an honesty in lying
and a joke beyond the smoke
Yet there are no longer monsters in the closet
to decipher glorious roars.
There is a tail behind the dog
pretending not to wag
and I say
gentleness caresses the moons adventures
and I will climb that restless gift
though tattered from past decisions.
Spaces of acknowledgment
that must be deeply felt
a journey that reaches to the other side.
A center for compassion
for our own endeavors
and indeed
our own encumbered selves.
by Kathy Ostman-Magnusen

About the painting:
The image is from my "ke ala o Pele" series, which is an Hawaiian series. The woman stands before a lava rock.. Pele, goddess of the volcano Kileaua, wrapped her lava flow around the trees that stood in Lava Tree Park, which is on the Big Island/Hilo side in Pahoa.

Chinese Ballet Circus - Dance in your heart...
~*~
This is soo touching.
I must confess that when I watched it tears rolled down my face.
I think that artists especially need to tap into things like this. It motivates a person to seek out beauty. After I watch something like this or the movie I mentioned somewhere above, "Camile Claudel" I am overwhelmed with the feeling that I MUST get those feelings onto canvas or clay beneath my fingers.
Dance in your heart.
~*~
"Two Little Girls Unravel" - modern talking videos
~*~
Modern talking videos are everywhere today. We adore them on You Tube and others sites as they continue to spring forth with magic and delight.
If you read the explanation from the parent who taped this you will understand the little girls problem as they try to dance before their audience.
OH! It is so cute!
I posted this as a contrast to the YouTube above. It reminds us that 'everything' for 'every single person' has a 'beginning'.
Soo be gentle with yourself as you learn new things, enjoy the process. Also... once you do master something? Keep it in your heart and memory your baby step to get to where you are. Be patient with those who ask questions of you and try to learn what you have already mastered.
Stay humble and be generous with your knowledge, it can only make for a better world.
~~*~~
See yourself in this little YouTube... just beginning and realizing flight, coming across obstacles but continuing on with the dance none the less.
We are so fortunate to have modern talking videos that let us have a glimpse of two little girls in pink tutus who are just beginning to learn the dance of ballet and life. We are just like them really. Remind yourself to laugh at your failures because they are no different really from these little girls in your beginnings.
Very dear this adventure of life.

"Lost At Sea"
The painting below is from my series called, "Lost at Sea", I created a story booklet (along with 6 others paintings) re-telling the Greek myth, Ceyx & Alcyone It is a 48x60 oil on canvas.
My painting,"Lost at Sea" 48x60 oil on canvas
What Have They Done To The Rain?
I have been watching this You Tube this morning.. "What Have They Done To The Rain?" by The Searchers, written by Malvina Reynolds. It was first written as part of a campaign to stop aboveground nuclear testing.. not war at all but it was taken on by many other causes and seems most appropriate for the war in Iraq or the ignorance of people who ignore global warming. Soo this painting of mine.. painted a long time ago, even under another name, lends to the feeling I am having today. It is called "Lost at Sea" because I think many of us are.
The song: is below.
The Lyrics:
Just a little rain falling all around,
The grass lifts its head to the heavenly sound,
Just a little rain, just a little rain,
What have they done to the rain?
Just a little boy standing in the rain,
The gentle rain that falls for years.
And the grass is gone,
The boy disappears,
And rain keeps falling like helpless tears,
And what have they done to the rain?
Just a little breeze out of the sky,
The leaves pat their hands as the breeze blows by,
Just a little breeze with some smoke in its eye,
What have they done to the rain?
Just a little boy standing in the rain,
The gentle rain that falls for years.
And the grass is gone,
The boy disappears,
And rain keeps falling like helpless tears,
And what have they done to the rain?
The little image is of my painting, "Have You Ever Read Anything So Beautiful?" 24x30 oil on canvas from my "Victorian Series"
~~*~~
What Have They Done To the Rain?
~~*~~
The sound on this is not great but ohhh those voices, and oh my goodness the message and sentiment no matter what you choose to apply it to. I apply it to Vietnam and Agents Orange, White and Blue... because I am affected by it. I found my soldier after 27 years due to Vietnam and the follies of a young girl. When I found my soldier again he was afflicted with the results of a Agent Orange. He throws up every day. My painting "Lost at Sea" was done before I found him again through a miracle of circumstances. I always missed him.

Sea Goddesses- Legends of Mermaids- Dolphins on Kauai Shorelines
Sea Goddesses- Legends of Mermaids- Dolphins on Kauai Shorelines of Hanalei Bay
I heard there were myths to follow
legends of mermaids
fantasy art warrior women
sirens of the sea.
Out on the water
trickles of light
dancing
on the shores of Kauai
a mermaids tale indeed.
"I have measured every star", she said
Sea goddess of Kauai.
"How do I find the time?
I have taken every dream
and colored them with crayons
sprinkled them with fairy dust
and framed them in seashells."
I sit and think of her often.
I have captured spectacular moments
Water spirit legends
that simply could not escape.
I held them close
heard their messages
made pencil drawings of dragons
fire dragons to save me.
I drew dolphins on the sand
of the ones I've know for years.
Dolphins to take me anywhere
always within reach.
Water spirit legends
tales of mermaids
dragons of the sea
dolphins sharing magic
alive.
I wept for knowledge and its sake
then wrapped all my tokens
my dragon drawings
pieces of sand
glorious wonders
cradled my package
covered in silk
and tied with ti leaves.
I waited for the time to be right
the moon full
and made promises to night.
Legends of mermaids spoke
and I heard them."
This legend or myth?
Sea Goddesses
Water Spirit Legends
sirens
mythical creatures
alive and well
on the shores of Kauai.
This mermaid's love affair
sailors at sea
sings with an island that stands for love.
Out in the middle of the Pacific
it whispers
with every bit of potential
every spiritual lesson
every breath
I could possibly invoke.
Standing on the shoreline
Hanalei, a dragons den
remembering too my lovely Silver Strand.
Treasuring the time
my pencil drawings of dragons
I see
Puff does welcome travelers in.
He hears the longings
of a surfers plea
waves to ride with dolphins
and me.
Wanton cries
I will forever be blessed
by a mountain long and wise.
Legends of Mermaids
lost at sea?
Myths no not ever.
'Tis true these tales
and magic calls
open you heart to see
feel your life
'tis just a breath away.

Sooo Happy Playing.. I ADORE this! - Hey! This could be Y-O-U

This is such a darling little You tube video. It has absolutely nothing to do with me selling my ACEO's on Ebay but really it has everything to do with it because of the fantasy... fantasy fairies and all the magic I hope to create in them.
This is magical. It makes me feel like going out and buying a whole slew of balloon for some reason.
I don't have to understand what they are singing about, although the translation is given... but who cares it is just so happy.
The point is the feeling of Playfulness
I just ADORE it!

"I Have Come to Know the Rain" 30x40x2 oil on canvas
Below is my painting "I Have Come to Know the Rain" I have a painting of a Swan to match the poem afterwards but think the mood of the poem is better met with this painting.
My Painting "I Have Come To Know the Rain"
My poem about the painting, "I Have Come To Know the Rain"
"I Have Come To Know the Rain"
My unicorn, my legend of pegasus
I climb on your back
my hands reach for your mane
the voyage is set.
I bring flowers
and fairies for comfort
for when my dream feels cold.
I've come to know the rain.
It is not enough to know that I am cleansed by it.
I want to see its breath
hold its message in my hand
lest I fall on other journeys.
I suspect you keep secrets
your words have become mere noise.
I don't believe your magic
just because you scream it.
All the children that I remember visit me.
No matter they are grown
I hear them playing.
Outside there are tokens
still
sunny days to play in.
I miss their laughter.
There are interruptions everywhere
they want to be understood.
I thought they would lie down
give up
but no.
They seem to be weary
but still measuring.
I am inclined to bargain against consequences.
I hold my own image up to the light
I am not as transparent as I thought.
I feel a huge relief
and yet
I am not sure of which foot to start with next.
I will maneuver my aim
invade my own existence
initiate a standard
for taking no prisoners.
I can feel myself still standing
with somber resolve
proclaiming victory over self
but never being clear on the final outcome
none the less.
I saw dolphins fly last night
twas an unusual sight to see.
It seems they had been called upon
to gather tokens from the oceans floor
gather up the magic of a mermaids charm.
'My' mermaids I ask?
Have they left my dream?
It is raining
and yet there are a few birds singing
I sit back
sip tea
and listen for them.
They sing the only words that I can count on.
It is not enough to understand consequences
the moon tells me this is so.
I fold up all prerequisites
put them in a closet
cover them with flowers I have met
and wait
for the shelter of rainy days.

"Lydia and the Swans That Come Round"
Photo of orchid by Dennis G Magnusen ~Copyright 2009
"Lydia and the Swans That Come Round"
Her soul is dark
She pins her dreams out on a clothesline
waiting for the sun to meet her in a closet
to revive unread plans.
I think she wore jasmine in her hair
the last time that I saw her.
I can't remember.
I do remember that the swans came round
scolded me
for not accepting second chances.
Lydia had a box of sequins
that she kept inside her pocket.
She was seen sewing them to the moon
and making requests for sainthood.
I stood there in the glow
and admired her confidence.
I felt jealous of her travels
and her boldness.
She told me later that she saw me
standing in the doorway.
I did not tell her I was waiting for approval.
I keep in contact with her
now and then.
I ask her what to wear
and music she has heard
that I might like.
She always tells me I look best in lavender
but I know that isn't true.
I lost her trust many years ago.
We met at a train station
went on a journey.
We had intentions of creating fresh stories
new swan songs.
Well... she did at least.
I was haunted by a confined mind.
I could not think beyond the mermaid
she held captured in a jar.
I guess I related too much.
I could only think of how to free her.
It doesn't really matter
I say that to myself
as I unfold and refold
the pieces of art we made together.
Lydia's eyes are even darker now
that's the rumor.
Yet I will always admire her
and her quest to capture sparrows
unlocked by wings of depraved
but well meaning caretakers.
Lydia claims she means to heal them.
And the mermaid?
She traveled well.
I bring her jasmine in the summer
and gifts of chocolate and green tea.
I keep sequins in the jar she came in
reminding me of train stations
words that could not find their way
and swans that come round.

The Most Important Thing
This is "Life Take One"
Breathe it in and feel the magic of this moment.
It belongs to you.
Thank you once again for visiting my lens.
Aloha, Kathy
Thank You!
Come Fairies
take me out of this dull world,
for I would ride with you
upon the wind and dance
upon the mountains like a flame.
~W.B. Yeats.
The land of Faery,
Where nobody gets old and godly and grave,
Where nobody gets old and crafty and wise,
Where nobody gets old and bitter of tongue.
~William Butler Yeats
Up the airy mountain,
Down the rushy glen,
We daren't go a-hunting
For fear of little men;
Wee folk, good folk,
Trooping all together,
Green jacket, red cap,
And white owl's feather
!
~ William Allingham, The Fairies
Come with us hand in hand
Join us in play and joyous dance
awaken from your dream of worldly worries
now light as a feather
as graceful as autumn leaves falling
hear the child calling
Experience the Fairy Kingdom
~Idunna Elemiah
This is the Fairy land. O spite of spites,
We talk with goblins, owls, and sprites!
If we obey them not, this will ensue:
They'll suck our breath, or pinch us black and blue.
~ William Shakespeare, The Comedy of Errors
(Dromio of Syracuse at II, ii)
Where the bee sucks, there suck I;
In a cowslip's bell I lie;
There I couch when owls do cry.
On the bat's back I do fly
After summer merrily.
~William Shakespeare, The Tempest (Ariel at V, i)
Thank you so much for dropping by!
