Believe it or Not


20x20 Acrylic on Birch Panel..Believe it or not this one does not have a title. Or maybe I am thinking this one over.. I know I need a new camera that I can capture the art its self without getting the surrounding area..
I did get back in the studio and worked on this piece a few days. I still have not put the varnish on.
I know my art jumps around from one thing to another.. I am still searching for where I belong.
But until I do, well welcome to my art world.. LOL
It has turned to fall here and the weather is perfect and the trees are turning beautiful colors.
I love this time of the year but I know what is just around the corner..Winter!!!!!!
So this week I will be out with my camera, Yes I will be using film because I have a real camera to take photos with. I will use Black and White film and then switch Film and take them with Color. Then I can tint the B&W.
Have a great week...Thanks for stopping and reading my blog.. I love to have visitor's and I love your comments.
May you always dream in color.

THE DANCE







I can not believe it has been so long since I have done a post.. I suppose I have lost my mojo.
I went to the aquarium and one of my favorite spots are the jelly fish.. They are so beautiful and graceful. It is as they are dancing the most beautiful dance. I hope you can see these because they were just made with my small digital camera. Pocket size. It was a peaceful time to stand in front of the glass and watch. Then I realized oh yes there are other people here and they want to see also...Don't you just hate that..LOL...
I did go into my studio and start a piece but it is yet finished. So maybe soon I will get it finished so I can post some art..

Things have been a little stressful here.. My Mom has not been her self and is doing some things, that I do not know how to handle. I will not tell those stories today, maybe another day.
My heart has not been into my art or really not any where.. Just too tired.
OK so I am feeling sorry for my self..I will stop now.. I am grateful to be alive and have another day of life. So I am grateful for what I have..
Have a good weekend.

Never give up looking for the key that opens the door to your dreams.

This is done on a small piece of birch panel 5x12.. This bird has been in his cage for too long.
He has tried several keys and has yet to find the correct one to open the lock . I do hope this one is it.. He needs to fly and feel the air under his wings. To see and touch Freedom.. Keep your fingers crossed that this is the one.
I hope everyone has a great week.. May you find the key that sets you free.
May you always dream in color,

THE DOOR


This a piece done on water color paper 10x 15..It is done with acrylic and Ink..
This piece Is symbolic in a way. I seem to have been closing my eyes for along time.
I was trying to avoid things in my life. I realized I have to open them to see the light. We can not keep hiding from reality. Then not only do we have to open our eyes, we have to take steps forward and then we have to come to that door, I will call it the fear door. Then we have to open it up..I did not but a door knob on this door..Because that makes going through that door to easy. You have to knock on this door. And when you are ready to take the step through that door. You have to walk through it on Faith..Blind Faith.. Not knowing what will be on the other side. When we walk through it , we also have to leave the past behind.. Sometimes in life, it is not a door we choose to go through, it is just no other choice.
I suppose everyone in their life comes to these type of doors.. When You do I have you have the Faith to walk through.. And when you do close that door behind you. So there is no going back.
May you always find strength and then find peace.

Sketch Book

This is just from my sketch book and thinking about how time passes and there are so many things I want to do. It is called Too much time has gone by. It seems as if time has gone by and my life is on hold. Which we know can not be possible. Life is never on hold.. It continues even if we are not where we thought we would be.
I still have not been in my studio except to walk in and look out the window for a few minutes and turn and walk out.
I took my Mother to a birthday party this weekend.. The birthday boy was 90 years old..His beautiful wife was also there the age of 89.. So my mom got to talk to old friends.. and enjoy wonderful desserts... Oh no that was me eating the desserts..LOL...
She had a wonderful time. On this occasion she had her toe nails polished Green. She talked about all the men commenting on her toes all the way home for a hour and a half...

I hope everyone has a great week and I hope soon I will get back in my studio and start posting more..I miss all my friends .

May you always dream in color,
