James Graham is the singer of my favorite Scotland band The Twilight Sad their great and unique music and the beautiful photos of international Music Photographer Mauro Melis , inspired me on creating this new Digital Portrait in honor and to celebrate today James Birthday!
The Twilight Sad just ended two days ago in Miami their amazing and successful North American Tour as guest band opening for The Cure! I attended their amazing and unforgettable concert last May in Los Angeles and I was lucky to met James, if you haven’t you can read my Blog Post here.
This is a black and white with a hue of blue portrait in connection and symbiosis, reflecting James unique style and stage presence as mirror and shining light of The Twilight Sad music.
For this special portrait with the courtesy and kindness of Mauro Melis I was able to use some of his stunning photos from this Tour.

The Cure is one of my favorite bands from the past years following them a lifetime long. I love their dark sounds the best. My all time favorite Albums are “Seventy Seconds” and “Faith” today I am sharing with you my Digital Art – Oaks created from one of my Photos and I think it is a good match with The Cure song “A Forest” I found two great videos as two different and beautiful versions of this loved song I am going to share it with you. In hope that you like them. I suggest you to listen both because the sound is different and both are great! If you like this genre of music!
The Cure would be in Los Angeles at the Hollywood Bowl for 3 days May 22, 23 and 24 it would be the first US full-fledged tour in eight years. I am going to attend this awesome event Tickets are Sold Out for all the 3 days! Today is the DAY for me to finally see them live!
I will also see another loved and great band The Twilight Sadthey will open the concert for The Cure (I wrote about them in the past check the link). So I am very lucky today to be able to see two loved band in one occasion!
Wish me luck I will make a post in the next days and tell you all about this event!
Today is time for another digital creation that I want to share with you, it’s a Portrait added to this Concept-Collection. This is Portrait #3 Silver Wave.
This is a black and white portrait created with black and white photos only for a monochrome effect, focusing on lighting and transparency. While editing and creating this portrait I was able to archive a magical golden lighting effect giving beautiful shades, it is lovely how it turned out I am very pleased and happy with it. This was a great experiment to work on.
I like to continually evolve with my Art and creativity which I love to express with different mediums. From years I love to work in Digital finding new ways of visualize and learn while experimenting. I like to work with photos, manipulating images of any kind. I often post my Digital Art . I made a new gallery for the “When Nature Meets Humans Portraits Collection” you can see and read all about this great concept here. When I am not working on my Jewelry Designs, and when I am not holding a pencil or a brush watercolor painting or sketching, I love to go Digital is an extension of my art which I love to work with very much and in this case Photoshop is my creative ally. I am using Photoshop from about 15 years, for me there are not other software to really compare with, I am so amazed all the time of what I am able to create with it that motivate and inspire me to create and experiment more and more.
I am very excited and inspired to keep working on this concept created as an experimental and evolving Collection of Artistic and one of a kind Digital Portraits this is also part of my personal creative and artistic growth and evolution. Thanks to all of you for leaving me your feedbacks and comments let me know what you think. I really appreciate all the encouragements and insights. This portrait it is the #3 of this Digital Art Collection, so far by now I created six portraits.
The story for this one starts with the title I gave “Silver Wave” because the reflection of the water combined with the light and the grays and white tones. I also feel that the portrait emits messages of peace and calm feelings and strength at the same time, it represent the image of a strong woman who is illuminated by rays of kindness and love with a sense of inner peace, purity and happiness.
I came up with this idea to mix nature with humans and create a unique and very different kind of portraits…let’s say very unusual portraits that tell a story, each one I created has their own story and meanings, they are filled with all my experience, art and soul into it.
If you’re interested in purchase a custom and unique portrait like this one using your own personal photos, I can create your personal and unique story with a custom Digital Art Portrait, for more info and details please contact me.
As always thank you I love to know your opinion and I appreciate your feedback!

I wish to my mother and all the mother’s around the world
a wonderful Mother’s Day and a lovely weekend!
The calming sound of nature was only interrupted by the noise of my steps hitting the ground walking up the hills following an unknown trail. Suddenly the thoughts in my mind were freed and unlocked while breathing wilderness in the wind. Let go was the insistent inner voice I was hearing.
Jennifer Calvert is the wonderful writer behind Ink and Quill she had a lovely and thoughtful idea, wanted to support the work of her fellow blogger with great appreciation sharing Poetry. Few days ago she posted Share a Poem on Ink and Quillhaving an enormous response.
The post was an invitation from Jennifer saying to “share a link here of your favourite poem/s, which you have written or a poem written by a fellow poet. Or both!”
I did participate and left the link of one of my Poems. Today she reblogged my Poem “Emotions” with precious and beautiful words she honoured me and many others.
Carolina from Yesterday After, words flow and warm my soul, ‘floating like cluster clouds in a sky of darkness and light.’
Emotions
emotions chained
to words untold
floating like cluster clouds
in a sky of darkness and light
the storm was approaching
lighting were striking the heart
like stones breaking glasses
like in a lost dance over fire
following the song of my thoughts
holding a flower to protect
a desperate search for
a peaceful and silent shelter to rest
pieces of me were left there
in the dark with a white flower to hold
looking for a raising sun…
Thank you Jennifer for your kindness and for this wonderful opportunity to be on your Blog with a Poem next your beautiful writings!
Please give Jennifer a visit on INK AND QUILL and enjoy reading!
She was also one of my 2015 Featured Blogger of the week (the Featured event will come back soon) ;-)
