Meet Isis~ Hyde Park

A new statue was unveiled in Hyde Park, on the 7th September 2009, as part of a fundraising effort to build a new childrens education centre
Isis by "Simon Gudegon" represents the Egyptian Goddess of Motherhood
Who could take the form of a bird

It is Hyde Parks first new sculpture in 50 years...
The 633-kilo bronze sculpture was unveiled by the artist
and Joel Cadbury,president of the Royal Parks Foundation at it's home
on the south shore of The Serentine

The sculpture will raise money for an environmental education centre~
The Royal Parks Foundation has worked in partnership with Halcyon Gallery

I had a wondeful afternoon yesterday at Hyde park... the weather was warm and sunny
and the autmumn was in full glory .... Had lunch at the serpentine... later followed
by cream tea at the old teahouse... a truly lovely day full of treats... and
viewing this sculpture was the best treat of all

Serpentine restaurant with lovely views

Having a brouse through some art and thought these reminded me of Salvadore Dali

My favourite art work is abstract and I am thinking of a theme for my next painting
it hopefully will be like the mind "Multiplicity"

Paul expresses
" Im passionate about photography, black and white film in particular, I love the magic of film it has soul"

On his Digital Art he expresses:

"Digital Art Imagery is non objective with no recognisable subject matter
The subject being the imagery itself...
Non~objective art explores the potential of abstraction...
The shape, depth, colours,tones, lines, and texture,
but does not try to pin down a subject...
This lets the viewer respond emotionally to the piece

Donna Williams...
Feeling moved from a world of 'Autism' into a world of 'Artism'
Both worlds are about sacred space...
"The Sanctity of one's own world and a connection to 'movement' and 'pattern'
A world before mind and words!!
(By Donna Williams)

Her exibition is called "Autism and Sensing":
It has three sections to it... 'Sensing / Beingness/ Being sensitive.
The works are contemporay and figurative
