Lonely Astronauts

adrift

Artist Jeremy Geddes paints with considerable skill.  His highly detailed oil paintings depict surreal, often lonely scenes.  Many of his panels picture a lone astronaut in an empty urban landscape.  Its unclear whether his subjects are falling or floating, in trouble or asleep.  Geddes communicates the haunting silence of each scene as effectively as textures and light. He clearly has an ease of technique and personal aesthetic. –BEAUTIFUL DECAY

Frost Flowers: Nature’s Exquisite Ice Extrusion

It is as beautiful as it is rare.  A frost flower is created on autumn or early winter mornings when ice in extremely thin layers is pushed out from the stems of plants or occasionally wood. This extrusion creates wonderful patterns which curl and fold into gorgeous frozen petioles giving this phenomenon both its name and its appearance.
