Mysterious landscape! The image I have created reminds me of the amazing experiments Tesla created....He created an electrical relationship between the earth and the heavens. I wanted to represent a sense of the energy that circulates within natures battery and that continues ceaselessly day in and day out. I hope we all have a positive day!! Peace Out.

The leaves have fallen off of our pear tree and the signs of fall are every where. The sun was shining bright and clear and the shadow of the pear tree on our fence was delicious to look at. The pear tree called out to me and said "I am still vibrant even though I am asleep". I obliged and added makeup to the spirit of the tree that I felt. By the way, the pairs are Bartlett and taste delicious both fresh and canned. I hope the sleeping world of nature still invites your imagination! Peace Out.

What image could I bring to life with a photo of sunlight reflecting off of my car roof and a picture of my pajama leg. Abstract for sure, but pleasing and fun to put together.... We had gone to a play yesterday and I feel, maybe, that I was influenced by the stage lighting. Amazing how our dreams appear at night as we sleep and even more so when awake we can manifest those experiences without initially realizing the source. It took me a few hours before the nickel dropped. Sometimes the deeper meaning is just having fun!

Beautiful strands of hair  become an undulating sea that casts about and sings "come swim with me". Only the limits  I cast upon myself withholds me from the oceans of the world within!!..."Know thyself" as Socrates said so long ago.

Sitting down at one of our favorite ethnic restaurants I noticed the sill, the transparent blue film on the windows and the blinds above. I just had to take a picture without knowing exactly what I would create with this new image. I was drawn to it.

This image has been abstracted from the fingernail of my left thumb. Kinda sounds gross, but the challenge was there and I like the final image. Many things if not almost all things can have another existence, another view, feeling, texture, purpose, color, etcetera. This is true for me. In existentialism  the simple act of describing, let's say a bird, can become very elaborate. It could go on for pages and pages and none of the words and word combinations would describe the bird to you as you traditionally might view or conceive it. The reader would scratch their head thinking what it was they were reading about. What is, is not! Reality is like time, it constantly changes and I hope it changes for the good!! Have a sweet day. 

Three bricks on my chimney. They caught my eye and without knowing why! What did I see and intuitively sense about those three, common and always overlooked bricks? Another image, another place, another whimsical stretch of the existential mind? A drone view of a treed valley surrounded by plateaus, that is what I saw in the back of my mind and slowly brought to the front and out my hands. This is a location that is found no where but, possibly, everywhere. It is located in the imagination. We all have the ability to view happily the world in all its contortions and possibilities. Have a wonderful and positive spin on the planet earth!! Peace out.

In this series  I  photograph small and obscure inanimate images that exist in our every day world that goes unseen. I create a macro environment that is readable (yet abstract) from a micro environment that is constantly overlooked. The finished work above I call "floral hedge and sidewalk". The seed of the image was a door edge that was worn down to expose the different layers of paint from previous applications. The sidewalk was the lit space beyond the door edge. The area was no more than 1.5 inches long. Of course I had to work my magic to create the image, but the muscle of the project is too try and expose and share the worth of the minutia  in the world. To me it enhances the value, the sense of oneness in everything!...Enjoy the small bits of life...Peace Out.

Being an artist, to me, is the freedom to chase after an idea, a feeling, and too try and create that emotional path pictorially. Having created my Quantum Mechanics (QM) pieces and the fun I had doing that,  the creative outgrowth from that short series (will be continued)  is represented by the above image (landscape with setting sun).  The image can be described as abstract expressionism, but I would like to define this new series as "found and visually manipulated everyday inanimate objects that I have existentially altered to fit my view"  What a mouthful! In this new quest my imagination pushes and pulls the inanimate object (used in the  image above, a door hinge) filling in the spaces and places to create a surreal landscape. One way to describe my process that readers could possibly attach their own experience and imagination too is the viewing of clouds.  When looking at clouds move across the sky forming shapes they can remind you of an animal, face, anything that crosses your mind at that moment.  Imagination!!!! That is the key.  Such is art and the poetry it can divine!!!!

The cities of  Quantum Mechanics (QM) have evolved from each other and are involve with each other. You cannot have one without the other. Maybe the size, shape or color of individual cities might differ, but a shared essence remains. But I'm also hopeful that you could get a tasty Latte in any of the multiple reality cities. May peace and happiness reign through and around each universe!!

The bubble of another universe floats in my imagination. Knock, knock who is in there? All fun and games today and I hope the same is true for all my doppelgangers out there somewhere. I'm sure they are all saying...Peace Out!!

Alternate Universes! Here are just a few together in the same space, but unseen to each other... Maybe we share the same qualities? Maybe a bit brighter, shorter, taller but only a tiny bit different. The  importance of being able to live in the hear and now I'm sure is mirrored throughout the universes. Bring forward the colors, sounds and brightness of our lives. Enrich others, help others, support others and care deeply for others are qualities that help to strengthen all our lives. I'm sure our alternate reality doppelgängers feel the same way......For sure!! johntaskerart@gmail.com

So near yet so far. Dimension to Universe to alternate realities to the here and now. My right hand does not know what my other right hands do: Shaking hands, patting a friend on the back, stroking my cats face, feeding and reading and handing out high fives? Quantum Mechanics (QM) says I can do it all, simultaneously with all the happiness that I can muster. World without end!!! Peace Out. 

Quantum Mechanics and multiple worlds. How does one get from here to there? Well, in my world I traveled through a ringed wormhole of my creation. Even though I am still here, in my mind I was there. That is the beauty of imagination and creativity. Peace out and rest well!!

Quantum Mechanics states that multiple universes  can and do exist. Quantum Mechanics spin on its many-world interpretation says that there are many alternatives in these other universes and that they are all equally real, but that we can only see and experience one particular outcome which emanates from our universe. From my perspective I'm hoping that the other Me's are having as much fun interpreting this many-world concept! Peace out!

Still moving through space. Sometimes it's an easy walk and sometimes it's a tumble. As long as I get to the other side with a smile on my face it's all good. Enjoy the ride!!

I've found that crossing the great divide is a constant process. Who I was before transforms into who I am now. From was to am will never stop. The tides of my life ebb and flow. As long as my boat does not have a big leak I will keep sailing and dance with the tides. Peace out!

In the colorful world of personnel transition I am always faced with getting from here to there. Many modes of transportation are presented to me and I have to use my mind and heart to decide how! I always hope that the transition helps me  to  understand a world that is constantly revolving. It seems to me at times like a  ride at the fair; when  do I get on and off? Peace out!

Greetings from an alternate universe!!..Thumbs up too all. Life is moving along at this end and I hope that it is full and vibrant in your universe. Peace out!

The trapeze of life. A balancing act that is always ongoing. I always want to start my day upbeat by trying to be as positive as I'm able. As my day moves its way through and around me I like to be left at the end of the journey with as much Joy  as possible. It's all part of life. Peace out!!

Chemical, electrical, spiritual, etherial, conscious, loving. Some of the wonderful qualities that reflect who we are and what we can become! Life is a path and choices are the footsteps we take. Peace out!

I always marvel at our ability to create when we unfold our minds. To bring to light that which was only a thought. We can and should use that shared  power to create happiness in all its forms. The  magic of it all....Breathe in through your nose and out your mouth as much as possible....Peace Out!

These three photos represent 2 seconds of my active life. Seems silly too look at 2 seconds and give it notice, but it is a small part of a larger picture called life. In a sense I am acknowledging the minutia in my life. The building blocks of my time on the planet......Enjoy the Lego blocks in your life......Peace out!

As part of my series I want to include the unseen. By unseen, I mean the minute objects that are literally under our noses as we walk the streets of our homes. At times I take the time to view the surface under my feet as I go about my daily business.....This wet and thrown away piece of tissue became a dancer to my minds eye. What I envisioned I have expressed in these visual takes. The first one is unaltered except for a bit of color change, but the initial dancing form stands out. When I find these little gems I am momentarily transported to a world of theater. Not a bad place to go at times....Enjoy your breath and let your eyes see your day unfold!!!

Every morning, or almost every morning, I put a pair of shoes on. Most of us do this and usually it becomes a routine, like so many others, in our daily lives. I just thought showing the positions of the shoes and the placement of the feet would give us (me) a nod to the simple things in life!! As the old saying says "one step at a time". Have a bright and forward thinking day.

I'm back with my new series which at this moment in time I will call "Stop Action" in every day life. To take mundane activities and give it a spot light in our daily actions as we all sometimes spin out of control and miss the little things in life. There can be humor and a softness if we can look at everyday activities from a new and different angle. I hope to create a visual pathway into the average.

What goes up must come down. For a moment I was a bird. No gravity or weight holding me down. But only for a second as I made my landing on mother earth once again!!!...I may be heavy in weight, but light of heart. That counts for something!

Having fun playing catch with myself. This is part of a long term series that I am creating. I will share some of the finished works with you. I hope they are received in a light hearted manner as that is the purpose of most of my work...As always I wish everyone as peaceful a day as possible...Smile at your reflection today...Practice makes perfect!

I have been posting hands, hands and more hands on this blog. And there will be more hands as the series progresses, however, I am creating a new series which I will present in the near future. I will present some random art as an interim in the coming blog's.....Today's hands are expressive and honest. The background color is a favorite of the model and a color which pleases me also. I guess I would like to ask the viewer to reflect on their favorite color and express it in their daily lives today and every day possible. If it brings happiness to your day then bring it on...may we all spin on our happy axis...

Hands of time. Our hands reveal our age and experience in life and cannot be hidden. This happens to each and every one of us. A Piano teacher, beautician, writer, artist, data entry, builder, chemist, waitress, cook, taxi driver, pilot, and on and on and on. We all tell a story with our hands. We all show the world a little bit of who we are. And do you know what....It is all good, good and good. Enjoy being on the blue planet as we float through the universe together......

There is nothing like a good old fashioned handshake. I do not know how universal this type of greeting is, but it generally is a positive sign between people. I thrive on positive signs between individuals. Greeting and recognizing one another is both a primal reaction and a modern day politeness. The ends of both spectrums.....let's try and see the width and the breadth of life this day!!

Patient hands, thinking hands, hands that might be saying I am relaxed and hopeful. Waiting in contemplation?...The next time your hands are in this position take a moment to realize the moment....If the wind is at your back let it carry you forward. Have a sweet day!

Hands of lovers embrace in a secret handshake. The intimate expression of connection shared. The helping hands of love can lift people beyond imagined places. It is a gift, a power instilled in all of us. I hope we all can find our own secret garden of love fulfilled.....Breath deep and see beyond oneself!

A young mother and child. The cycle continues. Love and dependence are two very powerful ingredients in lives circle. The love of the parent(s) for their child and the the complete trust the child gives as a gift of their new life. Very powerful and heart melting combination. Those connections live on as we grow older. We nurture life.....

The hands of a 95 year old embracing a sculpture she created 70 plus years earlier. I enjoy this time capsule. I enjoy feeling the past and the present unite. What a wondrous picture of a life well spent...Enjoy, enjoy and enjoy...

Universal handshake. The visual nod of two people becoming one. Even if it is for a moment, an expression can last a lifetime...Where ever you are, you are there!!..Enjoy your day.

Purely having fun turning this design into  a stained glass. What fun to imagine this could happen every time we fiddle with our fingers. I find that creating shapes and structures with my hands is terrific fun. It's like having a game toy on your person at all times. Give it a try!!! Sometimes looking at the world through rose tinted glasses is a good thing. For sure!!!

The fist bump with an added thumb to thumb encounter. I can feel the gentle pressure of fists, the hesitation in space while greetings and a bit of laughter are exchanged between friends. No worries today, just the pleasure of the others company and sharing of good news. This hand photo is of me and my old high school friend... We all need this in our lives, i.e. soft fists greeting not hard fists hitting.....Life lessons!!!

Electromagnetic display, energy transference, the source, feeling the light, creating the light, sharing the light? Two index fingers in close proximity tells a story. I wanted to poetically create a narrative displaying the potential exchange of two people delving into a source of energy. What is the source? This is the mystery that occurs every moment of our daily lives. It is an individual experience hopefully shared with kindness and intention. Enjoy the air today. Breathe deeply....
