Resting between film and frame reside clouds and lands, man and animals; where tall tales of wonder and aether are envisioned. A realm where there is always more to something than meets the eye
.I want the images of LamWood Ranch to express an emotion , mood or perception that goes beyond the reflection of the time consuming responsibility of care taking to the enchanting existence of animals living as they do .-Shelley Wood

This was my first dog portrait. It was a friend's dog who had just retired. You can see that it was an early dog portrait, but it captured the dog's essence as I intended.

This is a single-exposure image, created in a darkened room. The dancer pictured is frozen in time by a strobe, and as the room returns to black, she picked up two lights and danced with them in her hands, creating the fluid light lines across the image.

This image was made in black and white to hopefully harken back to a day when the eye determined a photograph and not something like Photoshop or other manipulative tools.

Well, I FINALLY was able to finish the painting I named "Order Up, Rain". This being totally due to the fact that I was sick and off work. So I had nothing else to do. Well, I didn't have the energy to do anything else but sit in my studio, let me be totally honest, here. This painting came about from reading the blog of a friend, Jack LaFountain. He is a writer, who's blog I follow. With his permission, I've pasted his blog post from that day so that you can read it for yourself. It's as follows:

The Hopi Project
How do you change the world? One person at a time. There are many Hopi people here
on the reservation without running water, inside toilets, and electricity. It is
easy to look around and be discouraged. It’s easy to see why alcoholism,
depression and suicide are rampant. The size of the want is overwhelming. It is
easy to shake your head and pass by on the other side. Inability to help all
must not prevent helping one.
The Hopi Project is an effort to provide a single Hopi family with a roof and
running water. The ultimate expectation is for a new or used single wide mobile
home. It is not about solving everyone’s problems. It is not even about helping
everyone. It is about helping one. It is done in hope that one will become two
and two become four. The Naha family did not ask us for help. They hoped and
prayed for something better. God heard and sent an answer; just as He did when
reclaiming them from alcoholism, drugs and violence. God spiritually and
emotionally lifted them. God has broken the cycle of chains on the next
generation. Now, we hope to add some physical comfort.
True----God could give this family a home that doesn’t leak and has indoor plumbing without our help. God can do anything. God has chosen to invite you and me to share in
the working of a blessing.
Why should we care? What’s in it for you and me? Nothing less than divine
adoption.
“ And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. For if
ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? If ye do good to them which do
good to you, what thank have ye? And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to
receive, what thank have ye? ...do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and
your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the
Highest...”
You can help. You can donate to the project on Blogger or on my website www.jacklafountain.com
. You may give a tax deductible donation by sending your help through the Altus
Church of God (900 S. Park, Altus, Ok).
“Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. Give, and it shall be
given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running
over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete
withal it shall be measured to you again.”
So, that was Jack's Blog that day....very moving, don't you think? So that got me thinking. I can help this family. So I ask Jack for some reference photos and this painting is the result. It's 18x24 oil on stretched canvas. I think it turned out GREAT! These are actually Rain Dancers. They use their rattles to call down the rain. That was the idea behind the storm coming in the back ground. They reside in Keams Canyan Arizona so I knew it had to be desert like surroundings. The water I added as a really cool effect of their "Rain Calling" ability. I mean, they're in the desert, after all.
