Pele’s Nebula

Pele, the goddess of fire, lightning, dance, wind, volcanoes and violence is the mythical princess of Hawaii. Nebulas, named after the Latin word for “clouds”, much like Pele depicted in art, comes in an extraordinary variety of shapes, and colors making them some of the most spectacular and fascinating objects in our Universe. With this in mind, I wanted to merge the colors of Pele’s volcanic activity and the colors of Hawaiian sunsets into a mysterious cloud like formations one might see in a nebula.

And, well, hey it’s an abstract right?

Coral Heads

I was more than pleased when I recently read a report from NOAA that there are signs the coral in Hawaii is recovering from the 2014 bleaching event. In late September and early October 2014, Hawaii experienced a huge spike in ocean temperatures and a period of very low winds. NOAA divers were logging water temperatures of 86°F during this time. I seriously could not believe how warm the water was and I recall everyone talking about itKAMAGRA purchase cheap cialis Get More Information Polo usually work in about 10 to 15 percent tend to contract the issues of erectile dysfunction..

Giant Birds of Paradise

We have a wonderful cluster of Giant Birds of Paradise in our back yard which I can see from our office. The planting is a real stunner that I have admired every day for the last ten years.  It is also a happy haven for Japanese White-eyes, Yellow Billed Cardinals, Kalij Pheasants, an occasional turkey or two, Geckos, Anoles and lots and lots of bugs.

Sombrero

Click to Enlarge

Every wonder what Van Gogh might have painted if he had a nice telescope? And why does the Sombrero Galaxy look like a hat? Reasons include the Sombrero’s unusually large and extended central bulge of stars, and dark prominent dust lanes that appear in a disk that we see nearly edge-on. Billions of old stars cause the diffuse glow of the extended central bulge. Close inspection of the bulge in the above photograph shows many points of light that are actually globular clusters. The spectacular dust rings harbor many younger and brighter stars, and show intricate details astronomers don’t yet fully understand. The very center of the Sombrero is thought to house a large black hole. Fifty million-year-old light from the Sombrero Galaxy can be seen with a small telescope towards the constellation of Virgo.

Nebulous

Ironically, perhaps, on the same day NASA announced the exceptionally exciting discovery of seven Earth-size plants around a nearby star, one of my Kai ‘Opua Outrigger Canoe Club brothers ask me to apply my impressionist vision to one of the Hubble Telescope images he found on the Hubble website. As luck would have it, I learned that the Hubble images are in the public domain. However, any derivative images such my abstract rendering, if the nebula wasn’t already abstract enough, provide appropriate acknowledgement to NASA and STScl (Space Telescope Science Institute). How wonderful! So be it!

The image I selected was a region of the Carina Nebula. By definition, a nebula is a cloud of gas and dust in space. Some nebulae (more than one nebula) are regions where new stars are being formed, while others are the remains of dead or dying stars. The Carina Nebula contains at least a dozen brilliant start that are 50 to 100 times the mass of our sun.

As I think about this, I also think of Tom Robbins who wrote in Even Cowgirls Get the Blues “Perhaps everything was connected to everything, in a discernible if nebulous way, and if one might only trace the fibers and filaments of those connections, one might… One might what? Observe the Grand Design? Untangle all the puppet strings and discover whose hands (or claws) are pulling them. End the ancient search for order and meaning of the universe?”
All you have to do is cut an ordine cialis on line https://www.unica-web.com/archive/1997/verdienstmedaille.html onion and sniff it.

Three cheers for NASA, ESA, and the Hubble Heritage Team (STScI/AURA)! Keep up the phenomenal, exceptional, exciting work!

It was a wild weekend weather wise. Towering thunderheads dominated the horizon as another cold front out of the northwest drifted down on the Island Chain. Small Craft Advisories were issued due to an increased pressure gradient and a E-W oriented surface ridge anchored itself some 200 nautical miles north of the Big Island. Strong Kona winds, blowing 25 to 35 with localized gusts record over 50 mph. A powerful and large NW swell with peak open ocean swells near 15 feet was expected to arrive Sunday night on KauaiQ- Points to rememberAns- * check now purchase levitra Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the most common form of sexual disorder troubling ageing men mostly over 40 years..

Pau Hana Wisp

“I continue to get further away from the usual painter’s tools such as easel, palette, brushes, etc.” – Jackson Pollock

My first posting in 2017, an abstract, digital rendering of a lonely, fading, passing pau hana cloud, made me consider the thought that so many things in life are fleeting. The cloud was there and then it wasn’t. But while it was there I was able to take the time to see it and appreciate it.

Today, when I ran across Pollock’s quote, I considered that when strung together all those fleeting moments contribute to one’s ability, as an artist, to grow. In Jackson’s case, as an artist, he migrated from tradition and embraced free form abstraction. I get it and so did the Impressionists.

These two kind of pills are made of the right ingredients. purchase generic viagra continue reading for more now
In my case, while I still love and strive for crisp sharp images I continue to find myself gravitating to the freedom and diversity abstracts provide in creating what I’m calling Impressions of Paradise. In the Impressionists case, they actually rebelled against artistic standards. They painted with the intent of providing the viewer with a sense of feeling or mood rather exact detail.

In the coming year, I plan to continue exploring the rendering of mood while mixing in traditional photography. I hope you will follow me in this adventure. As always, comments and thoughts are encouraged.
