Cotton Candy Clouds

Creation dateAn assembly of cotton candy clouds, a dispersed rainbow with water in a basin of time, all one needed to see heaven he thought, driving along a long country road. As he pulled over and rolled down his window he opened his eyes to the sight of something for the very first time. It was as lovely to him as a ripe dream, the kind you make up inside you and meet. The kind that when you awaken you remember all the details because somehow it really had occurred. The kind that beckoned his smile. Heaven isn’t as far away as he once thought gazing forward. Oh that day was one sight to see along the roadway. Taking in a deep breath he left the window rolled down, a moment or two longer. Getting out it was a whole new sensation for him. Walking along the side of the road he felt a sense of nostalgia that left him standing there wondering why. He kicked a few stones along the side of the road, picked one up and left it in his pocket for another day. The stone a way to remember it was all a matter of being in the moment. He closed his eyes and when he opened them the car drove off and all that he saw went with him. Copyright © Susy Kamber Song Selection - Alicia Keys - De Novo Adagio

Creation dateThought I was reading. It happened to be a book on colors. All kinds of colors. One page said colors are poured from a vessel into a teacup for the brushes to drink. Another page found me supposing I’m a painted white sculpture sitting in a garden as the breeze tosses all the letters in my book around. Turning them into new words for me to discover.

Reflections
Other
2025
Creation dateOver there stood a bank of water. Blues and browns muddled together as twirls of light made their touchdown. The reflection contains sky and leaves. Underneath was another land, a painted place she knew of. Some reflections have other ways of being. Inside her heart as she sat there and watched.

Creation date…There is sweet music here that softer falls Than petals from blown roses on the grass, Or night-dews on still waters between walls Of shadowy granite, in a gleaming pass; Music that gentlier on the spirit lies, Than tir’d eyelids upon tir’d eyes; Music that brings sweet sleep down from the blissful skies. Here are cool mosses deep, And thro’ the moss the ivies creep, And in the stream the long-leaved flowers weep, And from the craggy ledge the poppy hangs in sleep… BY ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON Song Selection- Braille - Lisa Hannigan
In Another Life

2024
Creation dateWhereupon the formerly grey land realized it had turned away from its shallow state. The earth opening up all its flowers. Every scent that was ever made floating into your mouth. The taste of it akin to a sensation not unlike an evening breeze touching your face. Circling your legs. Awareness a brush, smoothing all the knots that had made their way into your soul.

Artist (En plein air)

2025
Creation date“En plein air is the act of painting outdoors. This method contrasts with studio painting or academic rules that might create a predetermined look. The theory of 'En plein air' painting is credited to Pierre-Henri de Valenciennes (1750–1819), first expounded in a treatise titled Reflections and Advice to a Student on Painting, Particularly on Landscape (1800),[2] where he developed the concept of landscape portraiture by which the artist paints directly onto canvas in situ within the landscape. It enabled the artist to better capture the changing details of weather and light. The invention of portable canvases and easels allowed the practice to develop, particularly in France, and in the early 1830s the Barbizon School of painting in natural light was highly influential.[3] Amongst the most prominent features of this school were its tonal qualities, colour, loose brushwork, and softness of form. These were variants that were particularly relevant to the mid 19th-century Hudson River School and to Impressionism.[4]” While biking I photographed and spoke to this painter at a park. Later in the year he brought his work to an event and we were next to each other. This opportunity provided me a chance to show him what I made from the photograph I had taken of him in the park painting En plein air!

Spinning Round and Round
Mixed Media
2025
Creation dateThe flowers met as time for grace. Turned petals inward, Upon their face. An inward reflection had thus begun, The quiet leading me to hum. The wind closed eyed, So none could see. Their creases touching the snow bound tree, In wait for warmth to reach and hold. I bend to this, I eased my soul. The slowness now a blessing gained, This quiet splendor does contain. I raise my face upon the sky, Touch me sunshine, feel my smile. ©Susy Kamber All rights reserved As you sit on the hillside, or lie prone under the trees of the forest, or sprawl wet-legged by a mountain stream, the great door, that does not look like a door, opens.

Vibrations, Reverberations and Rhyme
Photograph
2025
Creation dateThe breath of trees touching the air. Touching your heart as you become aware. Of colors unseen. In the usual manner. Noticing those colors and starting to wonder. The brilliance of red, the softness of blue, greens becoming purples and blacks to dream through. Some say the light brought them here to us all. For some it is light overcoming a brawl. Some say the colors are put there to stay. Perhaps the colors have no other way. Enlightenment is such, arriving on time. Inside vibrations, reverberations and rhyme. Copyright - S.

Little Boats

Creation dateThe trees have taken to the water as night falls. Splashing their weighty branches about. Turned into wet limbs against the light of the evening moon. Wet leaves moving. Little boats for others to float away in. Carrying the quiet of the air with them. Watching the trees as they dance. ©Susy Kamber All rights reserved Music Selection - Sebastian Plano - Soul I (Avow) (Visualiser)
Not What You Were

Creation dateIn a meadow far from home, lies a force to which I’m drawn. Deep inside this place of grace blooms a heavenly color’s face. Yellows strong and greens with depth. The graceful field the silence left. As though a concert stilled its players. As they listened to the air. Then they played the music after. Frolicking notes alive so clear. This force of nature spoke a rhythm. Colors strong brought forth their light. The silence opened up a message. Vibrations felt throughout the night. Many hear the music found. From the meadow’s misty sound. In the meadow, now my home. The source of splendor I have known. © Susy Kamber All rights reserved Music suggestion - Passionflower, Jon Gomm
Colors the Breeze

Creation dateFlowers that walk along the breeze. Set to emerge their flaming colors of arrangements. Gathering momentum inside buds. The nourishing scent of earth and sky. Colors the breeze. Our needs. Such solitude amongst nature. A roaring return. To happiness. © Susy Kamber Song Selection Idé Weré Weré Deva Premal
Blush at the Day

2025
Creation dateFilled flowers found on a hillside. Absolute containment spread out freely. As though one had finally realized how to venture that love is within. Sweet the day heads into the night. As laughter rolls down the curves of the earth and raindrops touch each other in their reflections. Oh that the night may blush at the day. The wonders of both. Forever I say. Copyright, Susy Kamber
Fairy in Sepia Collage

2025
Creation dateThis fairy was composed of photographs of fabric for her body and her wings from a butterfly. The background was shot at a beautiful setting of flowers close to where I live. The head was problematic and I ended up composing from the surrounding area around the piece. This very much is a composition similar to working with materials layering them, recomposing and looking carefully at the composition. In this case I am using my photography to do this, very similar to collage.
Your Soft Breath

Creation dateCome little soul, lay not your clothes down resting before eternity prescribes a place. Awaken and listen little soul, so that spoken words have meaning, so that what is seen is alive, so that the body exists as a human being, so that what you are joined with is complete. Come little soul, come back to us. Your soft breath is needed. Copyright © Susy Kamber Song Selection - Benjamin Amaru - My Perception Of Love (Full Visual)
