Bellissimi Fiori – Photography by Mary Mikawoz – Click on image or link to see the bigger picture.
There is something elegant and beautiful about flowers no matter what stage of life they are at. These flowers were newly picked and together the triad forms a beautiful composition.
I love the contrast of the pink and red hues of the flowers agains the brown contrast of the table underneath. In my mind, they are just perfectly integrated.
With my art, I am often in a zen-type of mood and with my photography, I feel as if I am inspired by God or the Universe to capture these moments in time.

Brown Eyes – Photography by Mary Mikawoz Click on image to see entire photograph
Brown Eyes
This is a photograph of a red fox with beautiful brown eyes and gorgeous red fur coat. I took the photo in the Interlake area which is north of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. He was not seemingly too scared of us. He walked along and even opened his mouth which I think is interesting and I wonder why. I know that cats open their mouths off to use their sense of smell – Jacobson’s organ.
According to National Geographic, the Vulpes Vulpes or “Red foxes are solitary hunters who feed on rodents, rabbits, birds, and other small game—but their diet can be as flexible as their home habitat. Foxes will eat fruit and vegetables, fish, frogs, and even worms. If living among humans, foxes will opportunistically dine on garbage and pet food.”

Bialy i Czerwony
This photograph, that I took, is named “ Biały I Czerwony” which translated into Polish, as “White and Red.” It reminds me of the Polish flag which is two horizontal stripes with white on top of the red. It is opposite of the flag of Monaco.
I like the white rose flowers which dominate the imagery but that there is just a hint or speck of red flower popping up.

Ancient Tree – Drawing & Digital Art by Mary Mikawoz
Ancient Tree
The original base of this abstract drawing is coloured pencils. I was listening to a guided visualization by Colette Baron-Reid. I had visions of an ancient tree with a textured being and also a very rich, red root system. I have added more colour to the background.

I basically love to create with ink and pen. I had a very good flow going when I was doing this drawing. I added a multitude of colours to the drawing and a gradient background. Hope it makes you happy.

This is my interpretation of when your chakra system is blocked – Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet. There is hope as I see the healing sun beaming from the upper left healing down a rainbow of energy and light to cleanse the energy centres of negativity and energy blockages. This is originally an abstract artwork with acrylic paints.
According to chakras.info website the following is very interesting:
“Each of the chakras in the body is paired with an endocrine gland and governs its function.
Root chakra (1st) — Reproductive glands (testes in men; ovaries in women); controls sexual development and secretes sex hormones.
Sacral chakra (2nd) — Adrenal glands; regulates the immune system and metabolism.
Solar Plexus chakra (3rd) — Pancreas; regulates metabolism.
Heart chakra (4th) — Thymus gland; regulates the immune system.
Throat chakra (5th) — Thyroid gland; regulates body temperature and metabolism.
Third Eye chakra (6th) — Pituitary gland; produces hormones and governs the function of the previous five glands; sometimes, the pineal gland is linked to the third eye chakra as well as to the crown chakra.
Crown chakra (7th) — Pineal gland; regulates biological cycles, including sleep.”

I look this image of the bee in the flowers in Freeport, Bahamas. What I like about this photograph that I took is the fact that the flower is in various stages of development just like people from baby to youngling to adult. I find the spiky nature particularly appearing which I guess would be like the teenage years.

This is my abstract interpretation of trois oeufs or three eggs. Originally, the picture was drawn with pen and then added to with India Ink. I then added colour to it. Symbolically, eggs represent many things to many cultures including birth and fertility. I like the potential that eggs represent and the ability to grow into something bigger and better.

We went for a hike in Kootenay National Park in British Columbia 86 kilometers from Radium Hot Springs. We came across this old rusted miner’s cart. I think it is really interesting.
According to the Parks Canada website, Paint Pots are “ Iron-rich pools and ochre beds, culturally significant to indigenous people including the nearby Ktunaxa Nation.”

This is an abstract acrylic painting of directions we take in life. There are routes that criss cross each other but essentially, we are all going in the right direction in on our path through this life. May your journey be fortuitous. I really like this piece and I hope you do too.
