Description

"This Sacred Place" By David J. Reid aka "Shardz" Software used: Poser 6, Vue 5 Infinite, Photoshop CS *~* Dedicated to Romanceworks! *~* Quite a few turn of events have transpired on this site, and in real life, since I last posted to the galleries back in May. It took me awhile to collect my thoughts and follow my heart to enrich me with the ability to passionately create images that I enjoyed sharing with you all. On June 17, 2006, this community suffered a tremendous loss in our friend and fellow artist, L.J. Heart of Romanceworks. This event truly gripped me with sorrow and a sense of bewilderment, and somehow eluded me with illogic in Godï¿½s mysterious master plan. Carol and L.J. have inspired me incredibly since I joined this community, and their trademark of intensely passionate images and love of nature are the best to be seen here or anywhere else. Carol has left comments on my images that I can never forget, and have honestly taken to heart. That is what this dedication to Carol and L.J. is all about; heart and soul, and the relentless pursuit of the human condition we know as love and devotion. Carol, we all feel your loss here, and we also still feel the strength of L.J. in this community in the work you present to us so perfectly. I canï¿½t start any artistic project without taking into consideration why I am doing this in this first place, and to try my best to convey feeling and meaning in what I create. You and L.J. know the answer, and have enlightened so many here with that special spirit, and the spirit will forever live within us all. Your beautiful artwork and heart and soul will forever guide us, and future generations, in this sacred place, Carol. Please know your special gifts illuminate the paths of so many here! *Hugs* *~* Image Notes *~* This scene took me awhile to create as I modeled the candle holders and lamps in Hexagon months ago and changed everything around about 4 times. Iï¿½m designing a pack with these lamps along with other dÃ©cor called ï¿½Elven Eleganceï¿½ and hope to have that out before 2008. My status is generally that of a lurker, but I do visit when I get the chance. I really wanted to leave comments off, but I have been asked not to by a few close friends. It seems selfish to me, but perhaps leave a sentiment for Carol in lieu of me. Bless you all, and Iï¿½ll be back soon.

A masterpiece. For me it's rare to bump into images that make me smile with happiness, but this is one of those rare pieces.~ (and love all those little details you've added to the image!)

I think that one of the things that seperates the artists from those of us that are just "dabblers" here is the intensity, thought, and passion that you speak of so eloquently. Your work always reflects this dedication and pursuit of perfection and the results always show it. Wonderful work, the lamps look terrific as does the character.

Exquisite use of colors and lighting, as I have mentioned before. The techniques I use in my paintings are very close to what you touch on in digital art. Very impressive work and your words make this piece something special to the heart. Hoping to see more soon, my friend.

What a masterful return. I regret that I didn't get to know him at all, yet still feel sorrow for Carol's loss. I do hope you don't take another 3 months to post again though. :) Beautiful all around.

David, your beautiful and loving image and caring words are so filled with beauty and warmth they made me cry. It took me a long time to respond. My heart has been very heavy and filled with sadness, even after two and a half months living without LJ is a constant struggle. Without my soulmate it has been so difficult to find meaning in my life. The world seems to be going on as usual but I dont feel a part of it yet, except for here on Rosity. It is one of the few sacred and safe places I feel I truly belong and want to be. I have always adored artists and here is where I can share my art and my heart with passion. The passion to create and communicate always burned inside of me and LJ, and our relationship, and to know that our art, and even our love for each other, has touched you makes it so worthwhile. I really cant express how deeply I am touched by your words and image, all I can say is the love and passion embraces me. The way she is reaching out feels like a hug from your heart to mine, one I dearly need right now. Thank you. CC
