Moving Art Foward

Art is alive, Art is Awesome. Art Careers are very much a viable option. One of the toughest obstacles is to look past is criticism and to keep moving forward. Sometimes those obstacles are from those who are closest to you. There is no right or wrong way to get to your goal. Everyone's story is different. What matters is that you are going for what matters to you. You are finding that BURNING DESIRE with in, just won't go out and you just, simply need to go for it.

The path is not an easy path. Anything worth great satisfaction doesn't come easy. You need to work for it. Any of the great artists of the past and present come to down to a common theme. WORK. 

What is your passion?  What motivates you?  What would you like to see more of on my blog?

Hello World

The artist shows the beauty of life, everything from the morning sunshine to the most vibrant sunset. Don’t be afraid to show the world your colorful thoughts. Don’t hold back you inner creative. The moment an artist turns her back to that, the world is a darker place. Let the world see the artist in you.

Sharing the art created is giving back to the community. It not only documents the daily life, it captures the purest of life/ a moment of time. It can either capture the artists emotion or there lack of it. There are good artists and bad artists. The point is that they are out there creating art.

Persistance

I am a firm believer that if you are not fully satisfied with the first attempt to give it 2nd chance but change it up.   

Summer Refection's 14x11 Oil on Board.

This is a painting that I tried once before and than recently revisited. Very happy with the end results. This painting will be entered into the Ozaukee Art Show and also a well respected national art contest. 

Ahhh the Sand Between My Toes

Are the winter blues starting to set in? and is do I really need to shovel for yet another snow storm on your mind?


Here is something to think about instead.

Transport yourself to the hot sunny beach in Florida. Picture yourself sitting on the beach with your favorite beverage while your skin is absorbing the heat from the hot sun. You enjoy the feeling of the sand between your toes as you make circles with your feet in the sand. All is quiet except for the sounds of the water crashing on the beach and the pigeons flying about looking for food. You may take a short nap and when you do look out to the water you see glistening sparkles of sun on the mini waves in the water.   Ahhh You could sit here all day.

Plein Air Painting

Question one must ask - Do I paint on  location or in studio today?

 The more I paint, the more I prefer the great outdoors as my work space. There is something about connecting with nature while creating a visual history of it. 

I had been itching to paint outdoors versus inside and it was incredible to be back outside. Yes, me who hates being cold, painted in the snow. I got all bundled up, including feet warmers to complete this painting below. Turned out my challenge was not being cold after all, it was how the snow (big white fluffy snowflakes) affected my paint. "Snowy" 12x12
