What I see

This one is special for me. I love all animals, but I have a high appreciation of horses. They are magnificent sentient beings with beautiful eloquent eyes. They are naturally wild and they can also accept to collaborate with humans with resilience (sadly, sometimes, under tightfisted unjustified dictatorship). In this artwork by Jim and Linda Carney, I see a radiant world filled with happiness. I see an expression of love towards the subject itself by the artist. I can’t help but also notice that Princess SweetHeart looks peaceful and grateful. She seems happy. I see in her a unicorn who decided to hide her magical horn in order to live unnoticed with the family who accepted to take her in and care for her when she was found with her back leg injured, wrapped up in barbed wire at age 2. (She is approx 12 now.😊) I also see kindness and generosity because of the initiative from which this NFT collection sprouted… Read on, you will understand.

What I feel

I feel happy and touched by the warmth of the vibrant colors. I almost feel like in a dream because of the slight pastel impressionism style of this beautiful image but I am most definitely moved by the reason why it has been created. I feel touched. I feel filled with gratitude and moved because…

Who is Princess SweetHeart?

Princess SweetHeart was the first animal to be rescued by Jim Carney (@favormindedjim) and Linda Carney back in 2012. Since then, they have been taking in and feeding many animals who were old, abandoned or injured (horses, dogs, cats, ducks, chickens, etc.) They operate a small animal rescue shelter in Spokane, WA, USA. Besides caring for the animals they rescued, from time to time they offer workshops where they teach training for dogs and horses. They invite families to come and learn to care for animals, train them, feed them, groom, etc. When the animals turn out to need more resources and attention than they can provide, they also associate with Spokane County Regional Animal Protection Services to ensure continuity and that the animals are properly cared for.

The NFTs

Jim and Linda recently decided to create NFTs by artistically evolving pictures of their rescued animals and selling these artworks to raise money to contribute to their work and help feed the animals on their rescue farm. This is also a way to immortalize these precious souls who shared their lives when they pass out and proceeds from the images of their memory are recycled into more support for the living animals still with them. In our world craving for such altruistic initiatives, I find this idea poetic and beautiful.

Conclusion

NFTs for charity and altruistic causes demonstrate another beautiful side of this “crypto” world that we are building together. I sincerely invite you to support Jim and Linda as well as other causes that will benefit our world and all who lives in it. Thank you Jim and Linda for your initiative. Keep up your great generous noble work!🙏✌️

About this initiative

For the past few weeks, I have been driving a campaign to offer support (ever humbly) to my fellow NFT creators and I must say, I have had the opportunity to come across amazing artwork. It is a real adventure in itself.

I decided to start writing a few thoughts about random NFTs I reviewed and figured I would create posts on my website in case it interested anyone looking for inspirations on which artists to support or which collections to keep an eye out for.

I am no expert, my only tools are my appreciation of art, my feelings and emotions, my way with words and a true desire to spread positivity in a world where, for the majority, everything is hidden behind by a big cloud of uncertainty.

May this initiative serve its humble purpose and bring support or help or positivity in any way to anyone reading it and to the artists featured in my articles. 🙏

What I see

There is something surreal about an eclipse. The incommensurate power of the sun being completely blocked off by a small spherical rock. Mind you, that small rock affects us all every day by its gravitational pull harnessing oceans and tides all over Earth as a huge vortex. This animated image gives us a glimpse of that powerful pull. Viewing the scene at a low angle forces us to imagine we’re right there among trees looking upwards, seeing the birds, the dancing clouds and the poor sun trying its best to find its way back to us. Red is a color that evokes a solid foundation anchored deep in the ground as well as within our surrounding family and ultimately with oneself. The contrast of darkness offered by the silhouette of the naked branches of the encircling trees reminiscent of roots in this glade emphasizes the sense of belonging with everything else around. Nevertheless, we usually don’t see everything moving around us when we’re part of that which is moving… Would this mean we stepped out of ourselves? Are we the witness of this moment in time? Or are we now aware of that which is the witness?

What I feel

I feel enlightened, as if the only thing one can do in the face of such grandeur is to understand how insignificant our physical size compares to these trees, to the sky and to this distant luminary and to the orb temporarily blocking it. I also feel in complete harmony with the gloomy setup, the faint crown of light around the moon, the blood-red atmosphere swaying to a whispered whimsical inaudible soundtrack that can only be felt at a cellular level once we achieve mindfulness through stillness. That’s when I feel everything is possible. I can start anew. I can truly envision New Beginnings ahead.

Conclusion

As you take time to get acquainted with Melissa’s material and with her relatable story briefly described in the many articles referenced above where she talks about how her passion became a way to make a living, you will find a prevailing sense of harmony and beauty. Everything she does is a tribute to how astonishing our world is and how spectacular a simple short moment can become an eternity into which we’d want to reside forever. Keep up your mystifying work Melissa, thanks for sharing your art with the World! 🙏✌️
