Monocle Man Artist Of the Month Of Sept is Angela (madama.himmel)

  Monocle Man's Artis of The Month of Sept is  Angela ( Madam . Himmel)

       

This is her Art Bio

Writing is my first canvas, the slow burn of thought igniting the page, the intimate friction between emotion and expression. My pen remembers. I live in prose, weaving fiction and reflection, often pairing words with images that echo their mood.

In Second Life, photography becomes more than capture, it is creation. Worlds bend, identities expand, and every frame transforms into a story. Free from weather, budget, or gravity, I craft images as fantasies, memories, and messages. Here, photography is not just Art. Here, Art is Freedom.

   

Angela is located in Shop 18 at the Monocle Man Art Gallery

☆✼★━ 🎉 Celebrating the Monocle Man Team! 🎉 ━★

                                  

                 🌟 Cheers to the Monocle Man Team!

Lynx, Luga, Willow, and Kit Boyd, your collaboration is second to none. A toast to the mystery-solvers, the strategists, the legends!

Lynx is owner of Monocle Man 

Just one of his Viking photos reveals so much — the rugged life they led, the vast oceans they crossed, and the fearless spirit that drove them.

                                                                                                      Battle In The Snow

There’s something captivating in Lynx Luga’s photos — every landscape, every face, feels like a story waiting to be heard.

Sticks and stones 

Sticks and Stones is truly colorful.

Facing The Storm

Waking the Kraken

The sky turns black, the sails grow tight,

The sea begins to snarl and bite.

A whisper rides the rising foam—

The kind that warns: Turn back, go home.

But onward still, through wind and wrack,

We tempt the deep, no turning back.

Each wave a roar, each gust a scream,

The world a fractured sailor’s dream.

To face this storm in moody seas

Is waking beasts we shouldn’t tease.

Like pirate tales where fate is cast,

We’ve stirred the Kraken up at last.

Its shadow swells beneath the keel,

A dread no man was meant to feel.

And now the storm, with writhing grace,

Becomes the monster’s cold embrace.

Willow’s Second Life Landscapes

Willow’s landscapes in Second Life,

Draw you back, erase all strife.

Each sim a world you want to roam,

A place that feels like coming home.

Truly wow, sights to see,

Visiting again feels like poetry.

hey that's mine

 

                                                                                       Heart of Scotland 

Heart of Scotland

The heart of Scotland beats in Willow,

Echoes of her roots run deep and low.

Mist and mountains, ancient and bold,

Whisper stories her soul has told.

In every glen, in every stream,

She finds the thread of her old dream—

A homeland’s spirit, wild and free,

Living on in Willow’s memory.

The Wise Old Tree

A wise old tree, so strong and tall,

Holds stories sweet from long ago.

She knows just who was there and when,

The whispers of forgotten men.

Her branches tell of days gone by,

Of laughter, tears beneath the sky.

In every ring, a tale to share—

Of who she is, and who stood there.

wise old Tree

Kit Boyd, co-owner of Monocle Man, is a true artist in Second Life. Her seascapes and landscapes aren’t just visually stunning — they tell a story. Each scene she creates carries a quiet narrative, a sense of place and emotion that invites you to linger, to wonder, and to feel. Whether it’s a windswept shore or a tranquil countryside, Kit’s work whispers tales of time, memory, and imagination. There’s a gentle magic in the way she brings life to land and sea.

 Kit's still life's are breathtaking! She has such a delicate eye for composition and a quiet magic in the way she captures light and texture. Every piece feels like a little story frozen in time, doesn't it? There's something almost meditative about her work — like she's inviting you to slow down and really see each object.

Advice from the ocean:

 

Be shore of yourself. Come out of your shell. Take time to coast. Avoid pier pressure. Sea life’s beauty. Don’t get so tide down on work that you miss out on life’s beautiful waves.

oh..... and watch out for the bubble blowing crabs ☺

♥

 

She held the moon the way she held her own heart....

.... as if it was the only light that could guide her through

the darkest nights.

 

As Kit Held the Moon

As Kit held the moon for a moment in time,

the tide paused, listening.

A hush fell over sea and land,

as if the world remembered itself

through her eyes.

In the stillness of her landscapes,

stories bloom —

of weathered stones, forgotten docks,

a breeze that knows your name.

And just like that,

with brush or build,

she gives the moment back to us —

gently,

whole,

and glowing.

 

Lighthouse on The Shore...

I stand as a sentinel by day and night,

winking my eye to provide sailors light.

Huge waves hit my feet, yet I stay strong,

and I will remain on duty all year long

 

I love to feel the sea spray on my face,

and try to make the ocean a safer place

by warning the sailors of jagged rocks,

and guide them safely to local docks.

 

Part of Poem

~by Jan Allison

Kit Boyd’s Lighthouse

The wind hums hymns through salted air,

Light dances soft on water’s glare,

Her lighthouse stands where dreams behave—

Heaven in light, in wind, in wave.

Poem By Willow

A Heartfelt Thank You to the Monocle Man Team

This month, we celebrate the incredible talent behind Monocle Man. Each artist brings a unique voice—through still life's that hold a breath of time, seascapes that shimmer with emotion, and landscapes that tell quiet, powerful stories.

To Kit Boyd, whose lighthouses, winds, and waves feel like a piece of heaven. 

To Willow, whose landscapes draw us back again and again, each one steeped in soul and story.

To Lynx, whose creative spirit and vision add depth, atmosphere, and a touch of magic to the world you’ve built.

From bold imagination to delicate detail, your work transforms spaces into experiences. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us—we’re endlessly inspired.

Here’s to you: the storytellers, the visionaries, the dreamers of Monocle Man.

Poem By Willow

Monocle Man Gallery

— A Home for Artists

Beneath the eaves where ivy clings,

Where windowpanes wear rainbow wings,

There stands a place both quiet and grand—

The Gallery kept by the Monocle Man.

Its doors don’t creak; they sigh hello,

To dreamers drifting soft and slow.

Inside, the walls don’t simply show—

They listen, hum, and gently glow.

A canvas here, a sketchbook there,

A poet’s whisper fills the air.

A dancer paints with silent feet,

While sculptors mold the heart’s heartbeat.

The Monocle Man, with hat and grace,

Moves through the rooms like time and space.

He doesn’t ask for polished fame—

Just truth, and love, and honest flame

He knows that art is not a race,

But something sacred, taking place.

A breath, a sigh, a spark, a start—

A home for hands that carry heart.

So if you’ve wandered, lost, apart,

With trembling lines or bursting art,

You’ll find your space, your thread, your clan—

Here, with the kindly Monocle Man.

I love the creativity in SL. We can express a lot through our avatars with the never ending possibilities & combinations. Although I feel I am still a beginner and still learning as I go, snapping pictures will be something I will always do as long as I'm in this intriguing world.

2 Place Wonders of the Sea By Heidi 

what made you choice  your winning  photo

 for the contest Well, I've always struggled with mermaid pics and this one was no different. I think we decided on it because he got tired of waiting for me to pick an angle.

 why do you love the sea - I am actually terrified of fish rl and refuse to go near open water. But in Sl, I can't stay away from the beach and just how beautiful it is

 

 what's your favorite part of of the sea - 

 As much as I hate fish, they amaze me in just how beautiful they can be.

 

 who inspires you  in art - My mother, she was always different and stood out with her wild ways, but regardless of what people said she always stuck to what she felt was art.

 some sea Quote's i found

“I must be a mermaid, Rango. I have no fear of depths and a great fear of shallow living.” ― …

The voice of the sea speaks to the soul. Kate Chopin. Beach, Nature, Ocean.

Don't sit and wait. Get out there, feel life. Touch the sun, and immerse in the …

Meet me where the sky touches the sea. Wait for me where the world begins

Thank you to Juliet & Heidi
