I am interested in exploring the notion of Time Portals. Addressing it is a doorway, gate, or entrance, especially a large and imposing one. During my time exploring and reflecting, the portal also becomes any point or place of entry, as one where nerves, vessels, enter an organ. Portals can represent vortices of energy, which allow matter to travel from one point in time to another. One obvious reason to linger in a portal is to give one the enjoyment and peace of being transported to another world.

Why it rains more on mountainsides?
    When air rises, its temperature falls. Warm air can hold more water vapor than cold air can, so reducing the temperature of the air raises its relative humidity (RH), which is the amount of water vapor present in the air as a percentage of the amount needed to laureate the air at that temperature.
    There is an altitude at which the RH in fishing air reaches 100 percent, and the air becomes saturated. This is called the “lifting condensation level.” When air rises above the lifting condensation level, its water vapor starts condensing to form clouds. When the clouds are big enough, their droplets or ice crystals merge until they are heavy enough to fall as rain or snow. No cloud forms or precipitation falls from air in which the RH is below 100 percent.
As air approaches the mountain it is forced to rise in order to cross the high ground. This is called ‘Orographic lifting’ (from the Greek words Oros, meaning ‘mountain,’ and graphs, meaning ‘writing’ or ‘written’.) The air is dry until it is lifted above the lifting condensation level when cloud starts to form and precipitation begins to fall on the mountainside. The air continues to rise and more cloud forms. This intensifies the precipitation, but only on the mountainside, fine weather continues over the low ground.
    When the rising air reaches the top of the mountain, it may continue to rise or may subside down the opposite side (lee) of the mountain. It is continues rising, eventually it will lose enough water for precipitation to end, although cloud may extend some distance on the lee side. If the air subsides, it will sink below the lifting condensation level once more. Precipitation will then cease, and the cloud will dissipate as its droplets evaporate. The overall result is that mountainsides receive more precipitation than the low ground surrounding the mountain does.

Clouds form when the invisible water vapor in the air condenses into visible water droplets or ice crystals. For this to happen, the parcel of air must be saturated, i.e. unable to hold all the water it contains in vapor form, so it starts to condense into a liquid or solid form. Clouds are very important and help make the Earth habitable. Clouds can cool the planet by reflecting the sun's rays, or warming the planet especially on cold cloudy nights. Clouds are also important at how water moves around the Earth, and where it rains most or very little. Even though a cloud weighs tons, it doesn't fall on you because the rising air responsible for its formation keeps the cloud floating in the air. The air below the cloud is denser than the cloud, thus the cloud floats on top of the denser air nearer the land surface. Without clouds, average surface temperatures would rise by as much as 22 degrees Celsius. This extreme temperature spike would not only destroy the habitats of most flora and fauna, killing off whatever survived the drought, it would also melt the polar ice caps and cause massive flooding of coastal cities.

Artist Statement: Why spending Time alone is Positive.
    Growth is intricately intertwined with the growth of the collective. As we nurture our individual selves, we contribute to the collective consciousness, causing a positive ripple effect of positive change in the world around us.
    Amidst the noise of the external world, silence becomes a sacred pause, a moment of communion with the Universe. In this stillness we hear the echoes of our own heartbeats, the whispers of our soul, and the universal rhythms that bind us all.
We also find the space to dream and to envision a life that aligns with our truest desires.
We cast away the limitations imposed by external expectations and embrace the boundless possibilities that lie before us.
    It is in this sacred space of creation that we realize we hold the brush to paint the canvas of our destiny. As we cultivate a profound connection with ourselves, we become more authentic and present in our interactions with others. For when we engage in relationships from a place of self awareness, we form bonds that are built on honesty, empathy, and respect. At first glance, the notion of being alone may seem at odds with the pursuit of fulfilling relationships. After all, connection with others is the very essence of Human existence, indeed it is. But it is through the process of being alone that we unlock the door or portal to genuine connections. We begin to cultivate emotional intelligence, enabling ourselves to understand and empathize with our own feelings and those of others. Emotional intelligence serves as the bridge that connects us to the hearts of others, fostering genuine connections based on compassion and understanding.
    When we understand our emotions and needs, we can articulate them clearly and authentically to others.
This open and honest exchange creates a safe space for vulnerability and trust to flourish. Spending Time alone has great value.

The Leaf Collection
Acrylic and Collage on wood panel
Size: 9 3/4" x 11 3/4"

Artist Statement: From the perspective of a Bird, I soar through the skies, my wings beating effortlessly asI gaze down at the world below. From my vantage, everything looks different. I see the intricate patterns of the landscape, the winding roads, and the tiny buildings that seem like toys. Seeing the world from above as I fly, I notice things that would be invisible from the ground. I see the way the light reflects off the water, creating a shimmering effect that's mesmerizing. I see the shapes of the clouds, the way they morph and change as the wind blows. And I see the vast expanse of the earth, stretching out before me like an endless canvas.
A new perspective having a bird's eye view changes everything. I see the world in a new light, literally. I see the relationships between things that would be invisible from the ground. I see the way the world is connected, the way everything is intertwined.
And I see the beauty in the smallest details, the way a single leaf can be a work of art. Flying high as I soar through the skies, I feel free. I feel like I can see everything, like I have a bird's eye view of the entire world. And in a way, I do. I see the world from a
perspective that few others can experience. And it's a perspective that's full of wonder, full of awe, and full of beauty.
