 5/26 I know you're probably getting tired of me asking for your support. I have slipped  down to sixth place. I'm sure it doesn't matter to most of you and many of you think this competition is a scam or a joke. I'm sorry if I have offended you with my requests for support. With the world so saturated with greed and darkness, as an artist I try to create images that uplift. Artists need to be supported or everything will just turn into Ai and is already is happening everywhere. Artists are becoming obsolete.

By Allowing My Intuition To Guide Me , I Set My Intention To Open A Portal To Reveal A Visual Elixir.

SOLITARY in BLUE:

In the south of my visionquest,
in quiet thought, and looking deep...
I found a place to stop and rest.
Releasing things I cannot keep.

I see myself in shades of blue.
For a moment, I'm calm and still.
With eyes closed, taking in the truth. Letting thoughts go where they will.

The air rich with mood and grace,.. even as I linger here.
A heart-song fills up the space...
My intentions becoming clear.

As I surrender, wisdom speaks
The All-Knowing seems to guide.
In silence, no words can reach...
The truth, I'm learning lives inside.

Tuning out the noise and show,
The Hermit stands beside me here,
to light the truth the spirit knows.
Revealing I've nothing to fear.

Now's the time to look within.
To listen and to simply be.
To pause and then start again,
and find what matters quietly. 

For clarity comes soft and true.
I remember what I always knew.
Here I stand both whole and new
I AM Solitary in Blue.

Ok so here we go ...we're starting the second round of voting and will continue until 5/21

Thank you so much to every single one of you who voted, shared, and rooted for me in round one!

I would so appreciate your continued votes. One (1) free vote is available once per day — no donation required, unless you choose to.

A few of you have asked about how it works, so here's the honest version: paid votes are tax-deductible and benefit The Art of Elysium, a 501(c)(3) that's been pairing artists with hospitals, shelters, and care facilities since 1997. The competition itself is operated by a professional fundraiser (Colossal) on behalf of AIT, another 501(c)(3) that grants the proceeds onward. And importantly — artists keep full ownership and copyright of our artwork. Only the submitted photos are used, and only to promote the competition.

If you want to read more, the competition site is https://peoplesartist.org (rules: https://peoplesartist.org/rules), and you can learn about the nonprofit at https://www.theartofelysium.org — their FAQ about the competition lives at https://www.theartofelysium.org/the-peoples-artist.

After this round, the main path forward looks like:
• Top 10 in each Group: May 21 – May 28
• Top 5 in each Group: May 28 -June 4
• Group Finals: June 4 – June 11
• Quarterfinals: June 15 – June 25
• Semifinals: June 26 – July 2
• Finals: July 3 – July 9

~Don't Prioritise Your Looks.

Don’t prioritise your looks my friend, they won’t last the journey.

Your sense of humour though, will only get better with age.

Your intuition will grow and expand, like a majestic cloak of wisdom.

Your ability to choose your battles, will be fine-tuned to perfection.

Your capacity for stillness, for living in the now, will blossom.

Your desire to live each and every moment, will transcend all other wants.

Your instinct for knowing what (and who) is worth your time, will grow and flourish like ivy on a castle wall.

Don’t prioritise your looks my friend,

they will change forevermore, that pursuit is one of much sadness and disappointment.

Prioritise the uniqueness that makes you you,
and the invisible magnet that draws in other like-minded souls, to dance in your orbit.

These are the things which will only get better.
