Update!

1 min read

Hi there! Just a short post - I'm back and I'm going to try and give my page a major update, at least to the extent that I can do so without a subscription. Hope everyone is well! Happy Spring!

Hello everyone! :wave:

I'm sorry for my long absence. I've been trying to check the website here and there when I have a free moment, but the truth is it's been difficult to enjoy myself on here because of the place I was living. It was in a noisy, horrible apartment building where I couldn't concentrate on anything or enjoy anything. So I was merely biding my time. The good news is I just recently moved into a nice place in a quiet area and can finally get caught up on here and enjoy the website again. I hope you all are doing well and keep a look out for comments on your works and replies to messages you have left me. I will try as I also have to finish unpacking. Happy March :D

Hello!

I've decided to come back and see if I can keep up with the website again. I can't believe I haven't written a journal entry since 2016. Wow! :XD: Well, a lot has happened since then. I moved to New Mexico in August 2018 and I'm really enjoying it so far. I've also been working on expanding my translation business and want to expand my list of music students.

For those of you who don't know, I translate and proofread medical, legal, and music-related documents from Spanish to English. I also do transcription projects in English. I am always available for projects, so if you need a translator, let me know. I would be open to translating stories and poetry for anyone who is interested. I will post more information soon. I also teach drum set and piano in person and I would be open to giving music lessons online now that I have the equipment, so if you want to take lessons, let me know about that too! I'm going to work on a website to promote my musical talents as well.

I'm going to try and revamp my gallery and start adding new stuff even though I don't know many people on here anymore. Most of my friends don't use this website anymore but I'm not going to let that stop me! I also would like to create a new group dedicated to the southwest as well.

Well, that's it for now. See you soon!

Catching up...

Hello, friends! It has been some time and it might seem like I disappeared from here. I haven't been on much because I've been playing some games and trying to find work in my field. I do Spanish to English translation and I will be setting up a website very soon. If anyone happens to know of any companies or people who might need stuff translated for them from Spanish to English, please let me know! I'm mainly interested in legal, medical, gaming, or literary translation, but I'm willing to work in other areas!

I will try and post some new photos soon. I have so many to post, it's not funny. I hope everyone is doing well and I will try to be more active on here. Thanks for the support :hug: Love Huggle!

Hello friends!

I know it's been a while that I have done a feature and this one is long  overdue! I haven't been on much as I was looking for work and started a new job a few weeks ago. I needed to get adjusted to the schedule and things are starting to slow down now so I can catch up on things like this!

As you may or may not know, people who donate points to my account will receive awards like comments, favorites, llamas, etc. But those who donate a significant amount of points will get a month-long feature of their artwork in my journal :) :dev-Madgardens: has been a very generous points donator, having
donated several times to my page, and at one point donated quite a bit of points!

So here is his well-deserved feature! Thank you so much for your support, :iconmadgardens:!


Jungle Landscape by MadGardens
Some surreal art! This little collection is pretty neat and looks like it
would be a blast to color! I can definitely see the flowers and leaves here.


Shades of Autumn 8 by MadGardens
Such lovely shades! I'm a big fan of autumn photos. I'm looking forward to the autumn colors coming up soon. I wonder where this was taken. It's neat seeing the red brush on the top of the water too.


Ornamental Peppers by MadGardens
Wow, I'm totally loving the colors here! They're peppers but from far away, they make me think of ice popsicles :D I wonder if he gardens these or if they are someone else's garden. I bet they taste delicious!


Thinking of You by MadGardens
The purple flowers here are so lovely. I have no idea what these are called, but I've seen them before and wish I could see them more often! I wonder if they are considered to be wildflowers.


My Slice of Heaven by MadGardens
I really like the texture in this one. From far away, it looks like it could be a traditional painting. Nice title too :) The trunks of the trees look especially neat.


Earth Day 2013, Collaboration with Seahorse66 by MadGardens
Such pretty coloring! This is very suitable for Earth Day! The colors are so soft. I'm not usually a fan of surreal stuff, but this is one of the prettiest artworks I've seen! I especially love the mountains and flowers to the left.


Sunwheel Dance by MadGardens
This one is so lovely and vivid! Normally, I'm not big on the color yellow but when it comes to flowers, it's a different story! This is a great close-up capture! I can never zoom in like this with my camera. Wonderful work!


Two Blue by MadGardens
Wow, what a unique-looking flower! I wonder where this was taken. These look like blooms that one might see in the desert! I wonder if they exist there.


Blue Burst III by MadGardens
This is another, very unique-looking flower! And Madgardens says that the photo does not present accurately the shade of the flower. I wish I could see this in person!


Tower of Delphinium by MadGardens
How neat! I swear I have never seen this specific type of flower before. I've heard of delphiniums but I don't think I've seen them in this color before. They look very autumn-like though I wonder if the colors would look different in person. The background here is very pretty too!


Shades of Autumn 2014.VIII by MadGardens
Yay for more autumn photography! This is my favorite type of representation, I see the great variety of colors. My favorites are always the reds and golds. So lovely! :heart:


Shades of Autumn 25 by MadGardens
This is a very interesting presentation! I wonder what those stacks in the fields are for! The trees are very lovely and the effects of this are spiffy! :rose:


Shades of Autumn 15 by MadGardens
Beautiful capture! I'm totally loving the red tree and the reflection in the water. This photo inspires me to go to the park during the fall.


Shades of Autumn 17 by MadGardens
What a cool-looking photo! I wonder what caused that tree to end up like that! The contrast between it and the fields is very nice. I wonder how long the tree has been like that :XD:


Shades of Autumn IX by MadGardens
Great closeup! I wish the fields here had those types of brush in it. They're pretty boring here to look at, except some fields that are golden in color. Again, I wonder where this was taken! It would be interesting to see a more distanced perspective of this spot because I am curious to see what else is located with the brush and branches.


Strata by MadGardens
Such a suitable name for this deviation! I'm not sure what type of leaves are lying on the water but this reminds me of a lilly pond. What is that greenery from in the bottom of the photo? A reflection? It looks so different from the top of the photo! Very deceiving but in a beautiful way...


Bavarian Impressions XXXVI by MadGardens
What a beautiful view! I can tell that I would love to be in this place. It looks very peaceful. I love this type of brickwork!


Bavarian Impressions XXI by MadGardens
Such a gorgeous capture! I can tell it's photography but it looks so much like a painting too, especially the background. It reminds me of Monet art - so picturesque :love:


Bavarian Impressions VII by MadGardens
Beautifully captured! I would love to wander around in this area. Honestly, I would love to see more photos from here. Again, it looks very peaceful.


Bavarian Impressions XVI by MadGardens
Nice capture! I wonder what type of bird that is! I never have much luck trying to photograph animals in the wild so it's always nice to be able to see photos from people who can!


Bavarian Impressions XIV by MadGardens
Such a great view! It looks like it would be a really enjoyable place to walk around in. The view of the water is lovely.


Resurrection by MadGardens
I really like the architecture of this church. It reminds me of the churches in Barcelona, Spain even though that is one of the cities I didn't get to visit. I'd love to see what it looks like from the inside.


A New Day Begins by MadGardens
The colors are wonderfully captured in this. Looks like another peaceful place that would be a pleasure to walk around in. The title is very nice too ^_^


Dalhia by MadGardens
Such a gorgeous flower. It's a really big one too. It would be nice to see a whole group of these bunched together. It's neat when flowers have more than one color :rose:


The Pointer Sisters and Grace by MadGardens
The contrasts between light and dark are wonderful in this photo! Everything looks so healthy and fresh. I've never seen those pink flowers before. I wonder where you can normally find them.


Blue Ascending by MadGardens
Absolutely beautiful! I've always admired these flowers. The blues are some of my favorites. How many different shades do they come in? If I had my own garden, I'd definitely want some of these in it.


Tangled Up In Blue by MadGardens
Wow, so many colors! And the shape of these flowers are especially gorgeous too. I think they might be my absolute favorite of the flowers that I have seen in Madgardens' gallery.


Sitting Garden by MadGardens I love the wondrous variety in this photo. If only Monet could have seen this place, I'd love to imagine how he would have captured it in a painting... This features some pretty shades of color.


Shades of Autumn 2 by MadGardens
So lovely! I can never see enough waterfall pictures! The water looks very refreshing and cool. I'd love to visit this place someday.I bet it's super-gorgeous in the winter!


Spring Passion by MadGardens
Such an appropriate title for a beautiful shot! I always love seeing these blooms in the spring. Why can't they stick around for a little while longer?! :( Either way, they are always enjoyable to see and photograph.


Well, I hope you enjoyed this feature! Stay tuned for my next journal which will feature the opening of a new art contest I will be holding with prizes for points and Deviantart subscriptions. I use my points to offer prizes for the winners and the other artists who submit entries to the contest!

Check out my status page for other news. After my contest is over, I'll do a feature for all the people who have donated points to my account. Thanks everyone :) :hug:
