I absolutely love the contrast in this autumn scene. The red of the fruit of the tree contrasts nicely with the white of the plants around and in front of it that are nicely frosted in the cold. I like the effect of the light in the picture along with the various textures. I love the mood and effect of the photograph gives off.
Snow is actually softly falling in the air as I took this photograph. This was taken at the English Gardens at Assiniboine Park in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

The Real Kiss – Acrylic Painting & Digital Art by Mary Mikawoz Click image or link to see entire creation
The Real Kiss
This is an abstract painting of “The Real Kiss.” It is an acrylic painting I was inspired to create. Originally, it was simply a stream of connecting lines in brown that is all about seeing from the negative space and seeing around what is actually there. I have put in the white and black space to indicate that there are two people kissing. In between their mouths, is a cherry of the luscious love they share like the fruit of Adam and Eve.
I enjoyed creating the painting and then enhancing it digitally.
If you look at it longer, you can even see a third face, maybe even four. You can’t tell if they are female or male or transgender or non-binary but in many ways, it does not matter. It is all about love anyways. I find it mesmerizing in some ways and quite sensual.

Growth After
I was reading a book or listening to an audiobook. I forget now but the purpose of the drawing is to indicate that when we grow, we develop our minds and the fruits or in this case, flowers or a garden, begin to grow. It can be growth mentally, physically, emotionally or spiritually.
I have put a person meditating and coming to some realizations and therefore is producing amazing thought patterns which manifest in reality. She is vibrant and beautiful. I have included a rainbow of colours to illustrate the fullness of her/our abilities.

This is a still life photograph of a box of Mandarin Oranges. I thought it would be interesting to unravel one orange and photograph the box against a hard wood floor. I like the contrast between what is covered and what is not. It is kind of like life and what we offer to people, that which we let them see on the exterior and what is really on the interior. It is the secret chapter of our life book that we do not let others read. I also added filters which highlighted the orange hues of the fruit and also the floor.

What a wonderful bird? It is balancing every so precariously on its perch while seeming to eat something. They are elegant birds.
According to National Geographic, “All parrots have curved beaks and all are zygodactyls, meaning they have four toes on each foot, two pointing forward and two projecting backward. Most parrots eat fruit, flowers, buds, nuts, seeds, and some small creatures such as insects. Parrots are found in warm climates all over most of the world.”
