Art On You Tube II


This guy is great! True Art!!

My Catharsis

Why are men so difficult? Im not a sexist woman but geez are men impossible. I say they act more like women than actuall women do! I mean my boyfriend of nearly a year acts more like a girl than I do. With the nagging and complaining and the constant whining. He is so lazy at times! UGH! Drives me crazy! Im more of a go-with-whatever-comes-at-me kinda girl and maybe this is why it gets to me so much but I have way more guy friends than girl friends and they are more or less all the same! Did I miss something? These guys are always gossiping and always complaining about their woman like a bunch of girls...idk! Maybe its just me but... its crazy.

Meet This Artist I Know




This artist on the left is my mom, Vicki Boyd. She is an amazing artist and writes poems and short stories. She almost submitted one of her children's short story into a book but she chickened out. She is very unassuming and does not know how great her work is. Here is one of her poems.

Summer Nights

As the grasshoppers laugh to the full, risen moon,
the crickets are playing their own little tune.
As the waters rustle softly in the lake nearby,
the birds from above, let out a sigh.
As the train blows the whistle from somewhere afar,
Somewhere someone is out there, wishing on a fallen star.
As the dogs bark, leaving echoes all around,
No cars on the road for they're all homeward bound.
As the trees sway in the soft moonlight,
The summer is ending with a warm good night.

I Love This Piece Of Architecture





This beautiful house known as the "Serendipity House" in Rodanthe, Virgina has been standing for more than 20 years. As the "star" of the new movie "Nights in Rodanthe" this house was renevated just for the movie. Never a bed and breakfast this antique building stands right on the edge of the waves to where you would think it would go down any second, this house stands 3 stories high and has a weathered and homey look.

DaNcE! DaNcE! ItS a ReVoLuTiOn!



Dance is an amazing art that keeps evolving over time. It's part of a community, culture, self expression, religionor a social thing. It defines who you are without words. It is a form of expression like none other because it speaks what words cannot. It is a form of body language that can have extreme technique and beautiful form to just a feeling and movement to some sort of rhythm like music. The many styles of dance help us see how diverse and creatively unique every person and culture is.

My Photographic Eye










"To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.”
Elliot Erwitt

My Theme: NoisE

The first picture is of a squealing wild hog. The second is of the new 09 roaring camaro. The third photograph is of the screaming rodeo audience. The fourth picture is of celebrating high school seniors. Lastly the final picture is of laughter.

This Music Video is a Work of Art

This music video is a truely beautiful. It tells a story based on an old Australian ballad about a man who killed his wife so that no one else could have her and he wrote a song for her in prison. It is a very emotional and beautiful video.
