I’ve been working on a new series inspired by my love of the ocean and the beach. I’ve incorporated my popular mandala art to create something entirely new and refreshing. Jump in!

I recently licensed my colorful grouper fish art to a Floridian to wrap their boat! How cool is that? There is no end to the creative ways that my art can be licensed and enjoyed. 🙂

I photographed him and sent him on his way to his new home in St. Thomas. Little did I know that all of these years later, my “Tropical Fish” would be so popular.

“Little Angels”
Angel Fish Art
Pen and Ink on Illustration Board
Sharon Cummings
1993
I am still digging around through my old portfolio. I found these little angels swimming in the ocean of boards and papers. They looked so crisp and clean until I scanned them and saw the close ups. You can see the irregularities in the amount of ink applied to different areas. There is also an ink “bleed” on the lines. I am sure I was quite pleased back then, but with the perfectionism of the computer age, this would not fly now. 😉

Crayon and Letraset Transfers
Date: Unknown
As I continue to go through my old portfolio, I am finding a few surprises along the way. I found this guy hiding among the rubble. He is clearly created with Crayons, and for those old enough to remember, Letraset transfers.
Long ago before the advent of home computers, there was a need for an easy way to apply perfect typography and texture to images. Letraset made these plastic sheets with transfers on one side. You then applied pressure with a tool, spoon, etc. on the other and it would stick to the surface of your project. Back then, I thought it was the coolest thing ever!!
What a flashback….I should find my box of crayons. 😉

I just cannot stop the creative process. Years ago, I was always a little sad when I finished a painting, sold it and sent it off to it’s new home. It meant that it was over. My baby had grown up and moved away. But with today’s digital technology, I can keep creating long after the initial painting is finished. My work lives on in other forms. How cool is that!
I can scan gigantic files of my work and crop out abstracts like this:
Or I can combine the crops and create mirror image work like this one:
It’s all so magical to me. 🙂 And I will not stop!

I am often asked by people if I have prints of certain paintings in my archives. So often, I do not. Ten plus years ago when I started painting and selling my art for a career, I did not have a camera that could take pictures with high enough resolution to produce quality prints. I am lucky to get small prints of some. A few have been successfully digitally remastered as well. But my “Koi” were a no go on both fronts. The piece above has been very popular for me as a commission and I absolutely enjoy painting them! However, I wanted to be able to create prints as well. So I painted one specifically for this purpose. Now this piece can be enjoyed in a massive size! Enjoi the koi!
