Hi, I'm Lucinda
The photo was taken with my new Canon EOS 450D (with a tamron 18-200mm lense), by me in the mirror. It's a little overexposed, but at my age, that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Bare Bones Bio:
I was born in Louisiana, USA in 1956, youngest of four girls. In 1967 we all moved to New Jersey when my father was transferred. I've always loved to read and soon gravitated towards Sci Fi, Fantasy, and nonfiction (mostly English History). The last was influenced by watching Masterpiece Theatre. I had the opportunity to go to the UK and Greece on 10 day Easter trips through my high school, which instilled in me an itch to travel. After one year of college,(I learned a lot, but unfortunately not much from my professors and text books) I joined the Air Force and went to Japan and England. I married a fellow GI (Bill), in England, got out of the Air Force (Bill stayed in)and went back to the States. Bill and I then lived in Rancho Cordova, California (where we had our first son, Charles),
Biloxi, Mississippi (where we had our second son, James), Oxfordshire, UK (For me, thank you Bill), and San Antonio, Texas (where we live now). Bill is retired from the Air Force and drives a Big Rig for J. B. Hunt. I am an office manager for a carwash. Charles and James graduated last May from University of Texas at San Antonio and Texas A&M at College Station respectively. Yeah!!!
Interests:
Reading - Mostly nonfiction history, though I have widened the field somewhat. I also like journals and diaries and have been reading "The Diary of Samuel Pepys" on and off for a while now. I'm currently on Vol. VII 1666. (I haven't gotten to the great fire yet). My fiction tends to run to fantasy, Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, and Neil Gaiman to name a few.
Music - I grew up on rock, folk, musicals, classical, and Gilbert and Sullivan. I still love all that and have added jazz, blues, bluegrass, celtic and a little country. I don't play any instruments and can't sing (the singing talent in our family seemed to lessen with each new sister and I'm the baby of the bunch), but I'm an enthusiastic listener.
Art (Drawing, Photography and Oil Painting) - One of the regular pastimes of my sisters and I growing up was paper dolls. We used typing paper to make swimsuit clad paper dolls with pattern book heads. Then we spent countless hours drawing and coloring clothes for them. Depending on the current story, they could be clothes from Regency England, Colonial America, or Star Trek. I also drew faces from the hairdo magazines and was happy if they looked fairly human. I now draw and have recently taken up oil painting. I'm a definite amateur at photography. I've taken pictures since the mid 70s when I went to Japan, but they are mostly of my travels, kids and cats. I've got a lot to go through to see which ones are worth posting. I bought my first digital camera last April (09) for my birthday (I ordered it in April, received it in May, for my birthday in June. (I don't believe in being too literal about such things) I bought PhotoShop in June. I've still got a lot to learn on both, but it's a lot of fun.
Other - My sister Gail and I love The Teaching Company lectures. We both buy history, I occasionally buy literature and she occasionally buys math and science and we watch each other's. I'm also a tad fond of cats.
I could gush, and probably have, about all the talent I see on RR. I find myself using the words wow and beautiful far too much. I guess I should pull out the Thesaurus.ÂÂ

This one really is something special Lucinda, and one of your best. It is such a lovely work of art, and the colors here are so cool. It is like the heart was dropped in the center of a pond and were watching the ripples from above.

I love how the colours and the glass mingle. Most people use red or pink for the heart but this shade of green is so beautiful.

Remember 'Blondie' singing: "Heart Of Glass" Once I had a love and it was a gas Soon turned out had a heart of glass Seemed like the real thing, only to find Much of mistrust, loves gone behind ... etc., etc. *** I have been taking another look at your post and come to the conclusion, this 2D post signifies precisely of what I am envisaging and thinking - am I right ? anyway, let's not shatter this illusion ;-) BB PS I also liked the 'the dancer' & 'the tree of joy and light'

Kaleidoscopism at its very best in this brilliantly rendered concept, Lucinda! With the various shades of green, it has Ireland written all over it.

A super image with the look of a fractal about it. Super work and the green is pretty.

Great art, plus great title. I first thought also it was a fractal. I see eyes which makes this green heart like a face to me. The face has a little hesitant attitude, a bit hidden. Eyes looking hesitant, 'asking' if it dares to show themselves. A very fine result, dear friend.

Such a lovely green. Ok I had to go all the way back to my birthday. Love the glitter, ride, shadow and walk on by.. I remember... The owl is so cute. Cool play with the skylight. Triplicate cool. Iceman, lots of fun. Smile smile. Bad wolf, and megalith. I had to make notes to do this. I hope all is well for you and all who need. We might actually get a weather break this weekend. Oh yeah.. and going to the car wash Yeah!!
