“Paths”

I feel like I am finally on the right path for my life.  It’s not that the roads I’ve taken before have been wrong for me.  There were lessons to learn and things to experience to get me where I am today.  The difference now is in how I “feel”.  I feel more certain and comfortable in my steps.  It’s finally a beautiful journey…

“Colorful Christmas Tree”

Mixed Media Painting/Collage

Sharon Cummings

2014

It’s a little pathetic that my daughter has put up and decorated the tree herself this year.  She also put up the wreaths, bought poinsettias, made a ginger bread house, baked sugar cookies and put antlers on the dogs.  She is in college mind you, but she did it all alone.  It sounds so sad, but we ALWAYS wait until the 15th to start Christmas! For me the time between Thanksgiving and the 15th is a whirl of painting, packaging and promoting!  This year she was so bursting with festivity that she couldn’t be patient and wait for me and my husband to finish up our BUSY time of the year.  The “ahhhhhhhhh” time has finally come!  So we are joining her in the fun and joy!  I will not be around much until after the New Year.  It’s time for the reward for all of the hard work.  Shopping!  Now that is something she and I will do together. 🙂

I still have some images that I scanned from my old portfolio to share.  This is a pretty emotional piece for me.  What are they saying?  Or are they speaking without any words at all?

“Never Alone”

Painting Acrylic on Canvas

Sharon Cummings

2003

My “Never Alone” painting has always been one of my most popular pieces. It’s true that blue is a soothing color and many people like it, but I believe that it is the sentiment that draws people in.  As I sell a lot of this image around the Holidays, it makes me pause and say a prayer of gratitude for the life I now have.  I also ask for comfort to those who will not be having a “happy” Holiday season.

I know what it is like to have Christmas marred by pain and suffering.  When I was 10 years old, my father killed himself just a few short days before the magical event.  I can still see the carefully wrapped gifts under the tree as we gathered after the funeral.  I remember thinking that I didn’t want anything ever again for Christmas.  For many years the Holidays were just a painful reminder of what was missing and what would never be.  It wasn’t until I had my own child that the joy was brought back to the Season.  Her zeal and delight in all things festive is infectious.  It was her energy that helped heal me.

So for those that mourn loss or those that are hanging on to the sick, I wish that you feel that you are never alone…Whether you believe in God, angels or just the healing energy of others…
