Color space

particularly the Big Bend National Park region of West Texas. In 1997, Blagg painted Passover, a beautiful representational desert scene with enormous mountains in the background. In the left hand side of the painting there is a dramatic difference in colors. In the upper corner, the cloudless sky is a cool blue. About half way down, there is a rigid mountain arising out of the rocky desert ground which appears as a neutral, sandy brown. As the viewer’s eyes move below the mountain they will…

The bar. Just precariously perched on two small ledges. Sitting there on its personal pedestal, it taunts all those waiting their turn to try clearing it without dislodging it from the sleeping place. Waiting above the heads of the brave few, looking down like a king on his lowly plebeians. The bar. It sits, and waits. The bar has nothing else to do but sit. It will wait for anyone, everyone who endears themselves a challenger for the height it rests at. It lies, like a physical embodiment…

Arnie’s Revival I looked at the red car in awe. The man stood by me. “Nine-thousand and she's yours.” The cars’ white and red shiny fins gleamed. My dream car...right in front of me. I couldn't believe it, I had found it. A green stash of money was in my back pocket, I had been saving it for six months. Upon staring at the 1958 Plymouth I decided he needed a name if I were to buy him. He reminded me of Christine. A car that had been in a book I'd read. “May I take a look at the car and…

hours and hours of hard work and dedication to my major. It is a rather bittersweet place with times where it became a place to put my work on display as well as a place to spend many long nights and very early mornings working and developing. The space itself physically is not a room by traditional means it has no doors and stall like walls that rise above the ground six to eight inches as well as an opening at the top. This design was done on purpose to promote community and closure.…

One day, I was sitting in Mr. Mackey’s class and I felt very tired. The classroom was very warm and I started to fall asleep. I fell forward and my head hits the desk. Suddenly, I wake up and I am no longer in the classroom. I am in a time machine with Leonardo da Vinci. He tells me that he is my tour guide for a journey into the Renaissance. He also tells me that every person we see comes into the time machine with us for a big surprise. The first thing Leonardo does is he travels to the…

Overcome by feelings of hopelessness, I sat in shock staring at my new home up ahead, Phoenix Prison Camp. I wanted to scream, but when I opened my mouth, nothing came out. At the end of long black top road, a low profile building tucked in an open gravel lot, framed with saguaro cacti. As I walked through the wire embedded glass door, I experienced the loss of freedom for the first time in my life. Once inside the building, I felt like a bird with a clipped wing, trapped. If only I had seen…

Walking and the Suburbanized Psyche EssaySmelling the sweet aroma of fresh flowers, the sun shining on the path ahead, the welcoming sounds of birds chirping and the rustle of branches and a light breeze in the air. As I walked through the garden, I felt a sense of appreciation and wonder for the creation around me. Away from the sound of honking cars and mindless chatter, I found myself utterly alone with my thoughts. At this moment, I reflected on my life up until that point. The stressors…

About an hour later Henry awoke to realise he was inches away from a cliffside. The cliffside over Redcar Beach. Henry was sobered up and began to remember his experience in the pub. Then he remembered Sylvester sitting there listening, playing dumb. Henry was angry but became overwhelmed with fear of what his was doing on a cliff in a moonless night. Of course the moonless night easily hid Sylvester in the darkness but Henry knew he was there. “You certainly packed some pounds, maybe some…

Locate your Jumper Cables. Locate your battery under the hood and find the battery’s positive and negative terminals. The positive terminal should have a red cover or can be signified by a + sign. Making sure none of the clamps touch one another, attach the red clamp to the dead battery’s positive terminal. Do not attach the black clamp to the battery’s negative terminal as it could cause hazardous sparks. Attach the other red clamp to the charged battery’s positive terminal, and then attach…
