The Ozomatli Concert - Diverse Style - Lincoln Center

Saturday July 27,  Summer Series at Lincoln Center brought the LA Group ~ Ozomatli to the stage awaiting an anxious crowd; The group known as the culture-mashers in my opinion, fused their sound of Salsa, Jazz and Middle~Eastern vocals & rhythm bringing influences that made the audience stand, clap, and dance under a canopy of stars in an evening of harmony!

Morgan Ashley ~ Fashion Designer ~ Duck Tape

My eight year old niece decided on the~spur~of~moment to create her own handbag with matching sandal's and straps that can be removed to wear as espadrilles;  cutting her own pattern and using decorative Duck-tape.
For the past five years Morgan has participated in artwork competitions held in her school and every year her work has been on exhibit where she's received several awards..more on Ms. Morgan Ashley very soon!

Painting - Memories Caress Canaima - A State of Verde

Memories Caress Canaima - 

Artist - Maia Nero (c) June 2013  

Hiking into the lush tropics to arrive at Angel Falls in Canaima State Park, has been a source of inspiration to continue oil painting and expressing my passion for nature, during my trip with Angel Eco tours in 2012. 

Venezuela - Inspiration - Another Mountain to Climb

Venezuela – Inspiration or perspiration, this latest painting was more than a consideration of environment, but a constant struggle of determination to finish…as I have learned:

Endings are like beginnings only in reverse; therefore, this revelation hasn’t ended as of yet.

Once professionally photographed by the best art photographers in Manhattan, Gamma One Conversions - located -  W. 39^th Street;  I’ll post this painting (of which I haven’t titled) – however, has been more than a force of nature to finish over the past few months.

Life Kisses Morning Dew

Life Kisses 
Morning Dew

I will always be near

Tall blades of sun-parched grass,

Canyons and rapid rivers force...

My adventure was enlightened

At Angel Falls;

A photographer’s moment held in bliss

Where dreams breathe 
In a morning mist

Where butterflies live…
Water surges

Creating light during 
A misty night...

I will always remember

Those along my path

A journey never meant to last

Filled with memories in my heart

Never fear light enters dark

The man on the moon

Can hold his place…

Revolve earth 
With his smiling face

My grace is with Angel Falls

Where birds sing

Raindrops glisten

Life kisses morning dew.
