A yearning to succeed in thy affections. To succeed by finding comfort in thy emotions. A comforting feeling when maybe your love is worn. To love completely with desire and without hesitation. The desire to enrich one’s passion. Passionate in the feelings nature provide. The feeling to reach out, to Caress. As in one’s first kiss. To kiss nature with forever belonging to it. Forever giving devotion that which will never grow cold. Devoted like a marriage at heart. Copyright Shelley Jones 2006. About the Artist: Photography, a wonderful medium. The whole process began for my child’s entertainment. From simple drawings to broadening that horizon with acrylic to oil paints. Only after which photography became a true passion. I am mainly a self-taught Kentucky artist with mediums including acrylic, oil, watercolor, photography, computer generated art, and encaustic wax art and now working with clay. *Virtual Painter 8, Corel Painter 8, Studio 8, and PhotoImpression 4 *Sony Cybershot 7.2 Digital Camera. |
