Painting With Passion

12/27/2012

0 Comments

I paint almost everyday, I have people ask "how can you paint everyday?" My answer is simple, because I have too, if I don't paint, I would go nuts. Yes, I am a mother, partner, I work full-time, I am social, however what I can't explain is the need to paint. I am not sure why I am made this way, but some reason I have to paint, I usually paint when there is a stillness in the house and sometimes I paint when there is so much noise that a normal person couldn't toterate it!
I am surrounded by colors, nature, people and with certain shapes, colors, emotions it can trigger a painting like the one here, I was driving in a park and saw this "hole" which was made by nature and how the tress were bare, yet the colors of the winter flowers/leaves gave the trees character, almost as though they were protecting the undiscovered paths that could lead to somewhere.

Prices You Pay When Pricing Your Work

I think one of the hardest parts of being an artist is pricing your work. I haven’t yet met an artist who doesn’t struggle with pricing. For me, my work is such an emotional journey, that when it comes to price the piece afterwards, I tend to avoid and just give it away to someone who connects with the piece. Yes, I know... "How are you going to make money? Or "Why sell yourself short?" I am not sure that is what I am doing. I paint because I have to paint, sure would I like to make a living on what I am passionate about? But, for me painting isn’t about making a lot of money, it’s about painting. I have researched, spoken to artists, and come to a good place on the prices of my work. These are original, one of a kind. Some may not pay for art, others might think its still way to cheap, but I want people to feel good about buying and supporting the arts and supporting my work! I am thankful for having such a talent and that I can create something that can create an emotion from the person who is drawn to it. Maybe someday, I will be in Galleries; after all I am still young (47) and have lots of time to create! Thanks for visiting my site and please contact me if you want!

Different Mediums Gives Me More Freedom

I am a painter by trade, by passion, however I have discovered over the pass years that I am more about creating with whatever I can find in order to express myself. As a mom, I don’t have the time to really oil paint and have me time, so the exciting part of having an iPhone is what I can do with photos I take and add my own flare! Discovering and using mix mediums have given me the freedom to express myself and the freedom of allowing myself to explore more art within myself and not think I am one dimension! It’s awesome to have discovered that I am more than one medium. Enjoy!

Cleaning Out My Head & Studio

As I find a new space in my basement and make room for creating in a 350-sqft room, I realize that organizing, arranging, moving isn’t my thing! Ugh.... I just want to paint! However, it is a freeing feeling to clean out stuff that we tend to hold onto for reasons I even don’t know. I am excited to have a space for me, myself and I - I even have a lock on the door so the kids can invade myself. It's good that I do this, so I keep sane. I am not sure if anyone else feels suffocation when prevented doing the one thing you are made to do and absolutely love, but I do and I am grateful to have such space! I just wish I had more patience’s to organize my shit! ugh.....

Rainy Day Mondays

It's monday and already thinking of a painting, not sure if its the rain, coffee, people, or just the way my brain works. I have been doing a lot of thinking how my life is turning out . I went to the Picasso's exhibit at S.A.M and realize how much of his art has influenced my own. I look at my sons in hopes that they will see how much I love to create and not allow life prevent you from doing what you are meant to do. Mondays maybe be rainy, but it wont get me down.
