In the meantime I am waiting for the official Release Date of my second book, "Smoking Mirrors".

Here is my pic of the day, how I wish I were there!

I keep thinking that I will get back to painting but somehow life has been too much of a diversion. Ideas are whirling around though and I hope to make them come to fruition very soon.

In the meantime my second book, Smoking Mirrors, is presently being published. I will post as soon as I have a release date.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Thanks and have a wonderful day!!

My quote for the day, "It will get better, it always does."

Please Visit My eBay Store

My Quote for the day: "Reach high and the bottom will fall away!"

Nothing much happening with my art right now. But the urge always overtakes me when I least expect it! Thanks for checking in!

I did upload a better picture of A Meeting of the Minds.

My Quote for the day: Painting is not a choice, rather it is a necessity.

Remember: "Boredom is the lull between ideas."

I have taken an artistic break but have some ideas I hope to implement in the coming week.

My website www.bwaldenoriginal.com also has a link to the publisher's website. I hope you will check it out. I am hoping to do a website solely for my book and I will post it in my blog once I have done so. Have a wonderful weekend!

I have just revised a painting and then finished a brand new one. I hope to upload both in the next few days.

I hope you will check back. Have a good day.

NAMELESS

Peer closely,

Acknowledge my presence.

Don’t overlook me,

I’m not invisible.

Give me consideration,

I’m not nameless!

By Shelley Walden

FRENZY

There’s madness behind the method,

It mysteriously resonates.

A whirlwind of activity,

It envelops all in its wake.

Shiny yet dark,

It refuses to abate.

No matter the resistance,

Frenzy will not wait.

By Shelley Walden

LONER

Below-

Unclear,

Nondescript,

Indistinguishable,

Society.

Above-

Clear,

Descript,

Distinguishable,

Loner.

By Shelley Walden

UNWIND

Let the tension go,

Dispel thoughts of any kind,

Slip into the flow,

Focus on the vivid design,

Release all woe,

Ease the spiral in your mind,

Nothing left to stow,

Unwind.

By Shelley Walden

DISSARRAY

Don't care for the display

Or the erratic way

The thoughts portray

Disregard for the Day.

Come what may

Disruption is here to stay

Instantly life can fray

In dramatic disarray.

By Shelley Walden

ABUSE

Dark clouds are carried in,

Some foreboding force is on the horizon,

It reeks of an indistinguishable stench,

The wind it rides is a maelstrom of evil,

The wrath of abuse rains down.

By Shelley Walden

COCOON

Representing a nameless face,

Wanting to leave without a trace.

Hiding sorrow in shame,

Desperate to escape the pain.

Resist this fate,

Forever banish the hate.

Embrace the veil of transformation,

Emerge a new person.

By Shelley Walden

Brilliance

Move past the exterior,

Beyond the apparent,

Truly it is there,

Subtle but significant.

Delve deeper,

Past the superficial,

To the spectacular bursts,

The vivid displays of intelligence.

This shall serve as a reminder,

Never ever underestimate,

My sheer brilliance!

By Shelley Walden

Annihilation

An unequivocal expression of hate, Is the anger finally able to perpetuate?

The spoken words become increasingly obscene, Virtually marking the air unclean.

I stand withering before you, Black & blue.

Powerful is annihilation, How sweet is the vindication?

By Shelley Walden

HAVOC

Self-deceit spinning out of control,

Your truth is pathological,

Turning the conversation nonsensical.

Your random malicious outbursts are a blur,

Without rhyme or reason,

The point is unsure.

Vengeance is a disease,

Fulfill your desperate need,

Selfishly wreak HAVOC.

By Shelley Walden

BROKEN

I DID AS TOLD,

HOPING FOR SOME SMALL TOKEN.

I LOST MY VOICE,

MY WORDS SHALL NOT BE SPOKEN.

I SEARCH FOR SOLACE IN SLEEP,

ONLY TO BE VIOLENTLY AWOKEN.

I YEARN TO BE WHOLE,

INSTEAD I AM BROKEN.

By Shelley Walden

RAGE

It is bubbling forth, Heading north.

Thoughts are spinning, It is winning.

So much needs to be spoken, The floodgates break open.

Adamantly it seeks control, All reason succumbs to the black hole.

Sanity becomes completely immersed, The rage is finally dispersed.

By Shelley Walden

Exposed

Here I am exposed.

Wreak vengeance on me,

For I am exposed.

Judge and persecute me,

For I am exposed.

Punish and annihilate me,

For I am exposed.

Hate and condemn me,

For I am exposed.

But yet I seek your eternal love,

For I am exposed.

By Shelley Walden
