I am a "Sunday painter" in RL, However I decided to put my paintings on sale exclusively on SL for your enjoyment.
I'll expose my paints in BELL'S KULTURECAFE IN MAGDEBURG, all the month of June ...and Ernie Farstrider has the kindness to give me the opportunity to show an other part of my paints.
My teacher lived in Madrid (Spain) and she worked with the painter André LHOTE (when she was young:) )
My passion : the joy of colours:)
I certify that my paintings are entirely handcrafted in oils , genuine and unique.
I hope you take great pleasure in adding a "French touch" in your home :)

Slatan Dryke
"Photography... My Photography is not an Art Expression. It's only a way to bust from myself... however, being closer to my Kernel". Slatan Dryke "The suspended moment intervenes during the action, and suddenly it blows up in a sharp lapse into yore". - Slatan Dryke - In RL Slatan loves Art in every expression, but he is most fond of paintings and sculptures, following his classical education. Slatan is also a photographer in RL. Always the traveler, Slatan loves to wander across the grid, finding new pockets of beauty for his pictures, thanks to the creativity and imagination of fellow residents. Slatan is a perfectionist in taking his pictures, never missing a single detail. The ratio, the framing and windlight are quite an obsession, until finally the right image is in his viewfinder. Slatan rarely uses an editor to modify his pictures, so he likes to say his works are "natural". On the other hand, Slatan admits to have limited skills in building, so he creates his sculptures, not following a real scheme, but only indulging his instinct and his love for abstract forms, which are often slight but become alive with a creative use of textures, lights and movements. Slatan likes to use old-school SL building methods, with a preference for prims in their multiple aspects rather than mesh. Some of his sculptures are on permanent display in other art galleries including at the University of Western Australia (UWA), and he has displayed his work at a number of main SL events: BURN2's events including Santalarity and Burnal Equinox; SL Birthdays, Raglan Shire's ArtWalk, Art in the Park, Emphatic Eccentricia, Seaside Gallery, Oxford @rts Gallery. Cape Able Art Gallery Ethnographia and many others.

MAGANDA PHOTOGRAPHY
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Yosemite%20Forest/97/225/1358
Maganda Photography (formerly Jadyn Firehawk Photography) features framed, original images of bold, crisp, and at times ethereal RL objects and scenes. You'll be amazed at how the eye can see. All items are modifiable and can be sized to fit your space.
ABOUT THE ARTIST: JADYN FIREHAWK
I'm a professional geographer and an amateur photographer. Studying geography (in particular, doing field studies) has helped me learn to see with a "geographer's eye." Born in the Philippines and raised in the United States, I've lived many places in my life: Quezon City, Chicago area, upstate New York, central Connecticut, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, Berkeley, Washington DC, New Jersey, and now central Texas.
Here is my favorite photography story: I once interned for the Geography Education Program at the National Geographic Society. One thing that I saw while there was a National Geographic photographer leaving on assignment with two plastic shoeboxes packed full of 35mm film. I realized, "Hey, he is taking that many pictures, and the magazine article will have, what, 12 photos? Ah! So that's how you get great photos!"
Another thing that I have learned: The mind behind the camera is more important than the quality of the camera itself. All my photos are taken with a compact digital camera - a Canon PowerShot point-and-shoot (A710-IS to be exact) - good basic quality, but nothing very fancy at all. In fact, I have tried switching up to a better camera (a Nikon D-80 digital SLR), and while yes, it is techically a much better camera, I have reverted to my trusty point-and-shoot. I have concluded that it is better to have a small camera in my purse at all times than a big fancy camera that is at home when I am wanting to capture the spontaneous shot the moment it catches my eye.
Most people see things in pictures; I see pictures in things. I especially like to photograph things that I see in daily life "as is," things that simply catch my eye, without any staging. I have jokingly told people that if I ever publish a book of my photos, it will be called "Pictures of Nothing." I am amazed that once I start looking for interesting pictures, the world around me gets more interesting. The more I take pictures, the more beauty I see in the world.

Sisi Biedermann
I joined Second Life in 2007, and back then I never realised how much this would mean to me. Back then I had just started painting with acrylics after a very large break where I raised my children and looked after my family and my work.
Today I have been painting more than 150 paintings since 2007 and I still get a lot of inspiration from nature, second Life and northern islands such as Faroe Islands and Iceland.
In SL I started taking photos already in 2008, and has developed my style ever since. All this brings me to where I am today and I hope you will enjoy my pictures.

Carelyna
Second Life gave me the opportunity to reach two dreams of my childhood . I grew up on a boat, and I took art classes and learned to paint on an easel with oil paints.
Sailing and painting are two important dimensions of my personality. My real life followed a different path but I held fast to my imaginary and artistic sensibilities.
I do not plan anything in advance. I just let it happen. I like to explore new worlds and experiences, and sometimes I feel a special energy accumulating inside my soul. Then I stop and take a picture. I like fresh views and I try to catch the feeling of the moment.

Violetta Carolina
Five years ago the first contact with the sl-art scene happened – someone starting so early clearly loves and lives art.
Violetta Carolina from Bay City collected during her time in secondlife more experience than any other old hand.
After at first being one of the art consumers and tentatively creating own works, she got started in 2010: the year 2010 was her most creative time – after hearing OH Yes! over and over again at her first art exhibition .
That’s what made her take part at events of the University of Western Australia or at the “festival of love” in sl and in Metropolis.
The artist now presents her works in her own gallery which stands under the auspices of discoverART.
Of course Violetta is eligible for reaching a broad audience but with her works she also addresses people like herself who are socially critical.
It is especially important to her to be successful with her own works and to be accepted as a serious artist.
At the moment Violetta is not only happy for her exhibition in "The Living Room" and Metropolis, but also for her planned club tour themed “Art meets Music”.
“My pictures and sculptures are like a diary to me in which I process my experiences.
I get inspired by life and love” describes Violetta the process of her work.
In any case life provides a lot more material for further works.
...you can see Violetta's artworks at the following place:

Paizlee Turner- Hiddenshoes (Paisley Wetherby)
I am a photographer, a collector and an artist. I collect images of interesting and unusual objects to use in my photographic illustrations with my camera. Trained in old school darkroom techniques, a digital scanner, computer and Photo Shop have become my new electronic darkroom. A finished print may contain several photos that I have taken, yet some photos I take will not be edited digitally because I feel that I have captured my idea without digital enhancements.
The works of Jerry Uelsmann, Maggie Taylor, Linda McCartney, Angela Cartwright and Annie Leibovitz have influenced me and my photographic vision.
I have a gallery called Paizlee's Art Circus :

Dai Juergens - Junge
Second Life has given me the opportunity to find a new passion and to explore what I can do with it.
A very dear friend I met in SL has inspired me to try new things and take it to the next level. He has given me the courage to express my feelings in art.
Every piece I create tells a story and I hope my audience can relate.to them.
Typically, I capture Second Life images and digitally manipulate each one to bring out feelings and emotions of the viewers.
This art collection reflects on loneliness. If we look deep into the images I hope my audience will leave with feelings of sadness or loneliness. Sadness is something that happens to everyone. Understanding sadness will allow us to see through it and find its inner strength. A glimmer of hope.
My goal is to personally touch all viewers.
Thank you, Dai J

Shakti Adored
Virtual photography, combined with photo manipulation and digital painting.
This is a new direction in my work. Using more photo manipulation and abstract color layering.
I have always been an artists since I was a child but didn't discover my real passion until SL.
I love to play with all the possibilities and potential in the marriage of photography and digital painting.
My subject matter, message and energy is very diverse in my work. I rarely set out with a preconceived idea. I allow the picture to show me what it is. Like a sculptor releases the body from the matter. I rarely do pre-posed shots in a studio setting. I go out into the world and wait for the shot. Looking for as much of an uncontrolled environment as possible for the challenge of catching the shot.
