No words

Sometimes there are no words to describe what we are feeling, what is on the surface of our hearts. Sometimes no words are good, and sometimes the silence can be absolutely deafening....

IMT and IF- Leap

I haven't posted anything on Inspire Me Thursday in a while...and this is my first submission to Illustration Friday, but i wanted to for this prompt. I am not super thrilled with my artwork on this but you get the point of it, at least i hope you do. This is how i feel most of the time concerning my art, my life, just about everything i do lately feels big, like i am taking a giant leap of faith, or just jumping off a cliff, either one...
I realize that i have to take these leaps to get where i want to be though...just putting myself and my artwork out there for people to see is huge. Huge for me. I am leaping into this headfirst, eyes closed and heart wide open for all the goodness that is to come....

New Listings on Etsy

Good afternoon all....I decided to list some more pieces on Etsy. I am not giving up. When i first started painting again after not picking up a brush in years, i made a painting as a gift for an artist that has inspired me so much. I added a quote to the painting.

>"When the world says to give up, Hope whispers "try it one more time"

I will keep at this until the passion for it leaves my heart. So needless to say i dont think i will be giving up any time soon...lol. Take a look here, and feel free to contact me with any questions, ideas, critisicms, or anything else. THanks. Have a creative day.

Sacred Life Day One

So let's start with this...painting...a passion of mine for so long. There are times when i am so caught up that i dream about painting. I dreamt of a painting that i felt i was supposed to paint for about 4 days in a row last week, but i cant seem to put it on canvas. I am trying to be more diligent in sketching out and then painting (again, i want immediate results, lol)...putting more thought into it than just freewheeling and expecting it to come out like it does in my head...some people can do that...i am apparently not one of those people. It means so much to me to be able to do this. To be able to create with my hands, and for it to mean something to someone out there. I am tired of comparing myself to everyone else, and berating myself for not being 'good enough'. The time for that is over, and with God's help i will overcome that insecurity. This year will be my year of finding out what kind of artist i am...what my 'style' is and where this will take me...
Feel free to comment on my artwork and even to give some criticism (be gentle on me). And thank you for stopping by...Hope you have a creative and inspiring day.

latest....

Inspiration

I have been inspired by Kelly Rae Roberts' artwork since i came across it last year sometime, and it has really fueled my desire to paint more and more. I am still struggling with trying to find my own style and of course trying not to compare myself to all those great artists whose work truly speaks to me..Kelly Rae's second article in CPS was awesome, and she detailed how she creates her wonderful works of art. So in trying to find MY OWN style lately i have decided to give myself a break and learn some tips and techniques from others, taking in the ideas and creativity that sometimes escapes me. So here is what i have been doing with my paints and brushes as of late...just for fun.

Presents!!!

I had a happy surprise left on my doorstep on Friday from the postman...a package from my friend Kim!!! It was so unexpected and completely wonderful! And yes that is a moleskin sketchbook...woohoo!! I cannot wait to wreck my "wreck this journal" book!!! And "Journal Revolution" is awesome and had been my companion this weekend! Thank You Kim, You ROCK!!!!

New Thoughts

This is my latest art journal page. I was having trouble working on this these past few months since surgery but i finally got this one finished. It's just about planting seeds of hope and positivity and truth. That has become what my intentions are for this new me, this new life that still intermingles with the old one....
