Log-Cabin-House

Greetings everyone, from Artsieladie!

I entered this digital artwork in the Elftown House Competition, 2006, and it won! I remember creating this like it was yesterday. It took me four and a half weeks! I literally built this house digitally, one log at a time, and put them together to make the house, and then there were all the rest of the details that came afterward.

Well, then in 2014 I opened the PSD of the above image up one day and thought to myself, "I should re-do this, give it a complete make-over." ..And so, I did! In all the years since creating the first version, I've greatly improved with my digital skills AND I've made thousands and thousands of graphics, including my own trees, grasses, wood/fencing, etc., as well as lots of horses. I LOVE horses! I made all new roofs, a new chimney, put on additions, and decided to make it larger as a desktop/monitor size (1920x1080). This gave me additional space to work with to add a garage, barns, fences, fields/pastures, and of course, horses, transforming it into a nice horse farm, which I titled it, "Dreamy Acres". As one can see, I love details. I even put curtains and blinds up and plants in some windows! This second round, the re-do, took me a little over three weeks. So, the time this piece took all totaled overall (both versions), not counting the separate graphic projects, such as the trees, fencing, grasses, horses, etc., was nearly two months. This is what the original (above) transformed into:

😊 So, when I compare the two, the before and after, what a difference overall. 😊

Happy-Mothers-Day-In-Heaven

Greetings everyone, from Artsieladie!

Here in the USA it's Mother's Day this Sunday, the 14th. It's a rough day to make it through when you're missing your Mom. On the other hand I am a mother and I wouldn't trade this role for anything in the world. Happy Mother's Day to all Moms.

How I miss you, Mom,
All the times we spent together. 
I Loved all the times we talked
About everything, even weather. 

Just spending time with you
Meant the world to me; 
Sharing all your wisdom
Helped me to wiser be. 

What I wouldn't give
To have more time with you, 
To turn back the clock, 
Make yesterdays anew.

I was told this would get easier
As time went on and passed, 
But it was all so untrue
Because missing pain does last. 

As long as I live to draw a breath, 
With each greeting of the dawn, 
With each closing of a day, 
I'm reminded you are gone. 

Holidays, your birthday, 
I barely make it through, 
But Mother's Day especially
Because the greatest Mom is you. 

But every day is Mother's Day, 
For not a single day goes by, 
I don't think of you and miss you
With tears swelling up each eye. 

Happy Mother's Day In Heaven, 
Mom, to you with Love I send. 
Only when we're reunited, will my
Heartache from missing you, end.

Line-Of-Love

Greetings everyone, from Artsieladie!

I'm sure many folks can relate to this poem. The hardest aspect about losing one you Love is missing them, no longer having them in our life. If we could only talk to them, the grief wouldn't be so hard to endure.

For long distance there's a plan
To reach the world around, 
But to where I need to reach, 
A line cannot be found. 

Long distance is good to have, 
But it doesn't meet my need. 
Technology falls short, 
Cannot fulfill my plead.

If Heaven I could call, 
I'd call Heaven every day. 
Maybe then my heart would
Not hurt so much this way. 

All service providers' stocks
Would soar off the chart,
If we could talk to Heaven, 
Connect with those in our heart. 

Heaven's line would be flooded
From use, red hot all the time. 
What profits could be made
With a charge of just a dime! 

But just like other services, 
I'm sure there would be greed,
Capitalising on the hearts
Who'd want to fill this need. 

Long distance to Heaven
Would be beyond great
And would be the 'Line Of Love'
Straight to Heaven's Gate!
