For those who are just now joining the 2012 Art Renaissance, this is a REMINDER of what the Renaissance is about. Hollace M Metzger started this Art Renaissance with the goal of making it the best since Leonardo Da Vinci's time. Through ART we SHARE emotions, and this connects us to other people, to humanity There are NO POLITICAL or RELIGIOUS AGENDAS--this is ART ONLY. We are hoping those participating will discover their HIDDEN artistic abilities and make an effort to produce MORE art in a CONCENTRATED amount of time. |

If there is one factor which
will help you to bring your dreams into the world and watch them materialize,
it is changing your inner dialogue. Through the use of tools such as music
suggestions, affirmations, and visualizations, readers will learn to change
self-limiting behaviors by giving themselves the personal nurturing and
encouragement needed to pursue their goals. Music suggestions will help readers
to connect with emotions and memories in need of release, affirmations are used
to teach a more compassionate inner dialogue, while visualizations will aid
readers in focusing and creating the life they dream for themselves. |

Kurt CobainThere has been so much written about Kurt Cobain--so much that writing an outline of a biography on him would be a waste of time. So, I'm going to tell you how I FEEL about Kurt Cobain and his art. First of all, Kurt Cobain was born on February 20, 1967 in Aberdeen Washington. I've always felt he and I were much alike, having been raised partly in single parent homes. Like Cobain, my parents' divorce was difficult on many levels, as it changes you as a person. I was 18 when I first heard "Smells Like Teen Spirit. |

Today, I received a gift in the form of a poem. It is personal and honest, because it comes from my daughter Madison. I have two daughters, for whom my novel "Poisoning Sylvie" was written. Just as in my novel, there are two sisters who have had to grow up without a mother in their lives--two sisters who have had a difficult time because they had a mother who was Bipolar and not always well. While I have custody of them each summer, in the past twelve years I have seen my daughters for a total of 12 months. |

One of my earliest childhood memories is when I was three-years-old dancing with my father to Disco music in the living room of our Bay Area home. A singer/songwriter, my father is and always has been an amazing dancer--the sort of fellow who could watch someone dance, and replicate the same steps within a few easy tries. Even now, I remember some of the simple dance moves from that day, and still have a lingering appreciation for the love of music which my parents shared with me--especially for Disco. |

To modern day audiences, silent films often appear melodramatic with their pantomimed gestures, title cards, and dramatic makeup and costumes. However, they were truly high quality films which were cutting edge for their time, documenting--not only art and fashion, but, society's standards and views.
The first silent film "Roundhay Garden Scene," depicted a two second scene of people walking in an English garden. Shot by Louis le Prince between 1877 and 1880, it is the oldest surviving film to date. |

I've always been a huge Woody Allen fan--his clever banter, jokes which surpass the first punchline of the moment, and his old-fashioned romanticism which never fails to win the audience over are reasons to indulge in his art. Other reasons to spend an hour or two watching a Woody Allen film are the characters which are sexually diverse and never boring, while his early films feature the talents of Diane Keaton--a creative genius in her own right.
Diane Keaton and Woody Allen first met in 1968 when she auditioned for the Broadway play "Play It Again, Sam," which was written and directed by Allen. |

It was Thursday, and I was enjoying the warm rays of sun which
penetrated the bus window. I know some people hate public
transportation, but I actually love sitting on a warm bus when the sun
is shining, and the air outside is cooled to a crisp chill. I live out by the beach on the opposite side from San Francisco's
downtown area. When I catch a bus, it starts out empty with me being one
of the few occupying seats, and quickly fills so that it is stuffed by
the time it reaches Market Street. |

Stylish, innovative, and intelligent, Lux Zakari is an author whose
novels truly reflect the changing times. Powerful, headstrong, and
complex, her leading female characters prove that any genre of fiction
is worth reading if written well. After all, the true path to a woman's
heart is through her mind, and Zakari's erotic novels are a perfect
example of this! What is it you love about erotic fiction?
I can’t help writing erotic fiction! All my writing takes a turn for
the sexy, and that was the case even before I started writing erotica. |

to go again. |
