In a calm moment before a storm broke out on Siesta Key Beach, I look up and down the coastline and spot a lone woman walking slowly beside the waves. Her dress catches my eye immediately. The bright red in direct contrast to the darkening surroundings. She carries her matching shoes in one hand. She appeared completely unconcerned by the ominous clouds forming overhead. What was she thinking about? A lost lover…..her career choices….the baby she gave up for adoption….her next novel….I will never know, but I find this image incredibly seductive with so many possibilities…..

“Nature’s Chorus”
New Mixed Media Art Painting Based On Old Pen
And Ink Drawings From 25 Years Ago
Sharon Cummings
2014
I am still reincarnating some of my older work into newer pieces. It’s so much fun to see these old renderings transformed into a brand new piece of art. When I was sitting hunched over my drafting table all of those years ago painstakingly drawing lines, I had no idea that someday there were be a computer program that would allow me to colorize them using my original paintings. Really technology rocks!

The Summer sun is particularly brutal this time of year in Florida. Temperatures soar and it is nearly impossible to spend time outside during the hottest part of the day. As I head back to my retreat after a long walk along the ocean, I am always stuck by how parched and dead everything is on the dunes. It looks brittle and bare. But there are these little bursts of color dotting the landscape. Yellow flowers that withstand the most demanding months of Summer. The Beach Sunflower……Summer’s brightest!
I will be away for awhile….see you when I get back!

Millions of seconds pass unnoticed
Boring and unremarkable
Life’s time clock
But one second can change everything
Just one
And everything is different
Everything
A birth
A death
An accident
A surprise
Just that one moment
Creates a cascade of transformation
Each second
Can be
An ordinary miracle.

I’ve always had a fascination with Frida Kahlo. She was not a classic beauty by any means, but there is a depth and intensity to her portraits that draw me in and ask many questions. Is there beauty within or am I just seeing the pleasure side of pain. Frida suffered lifelong health problems. Many of her health problems were the result of a traffic accident she survived as a teenager. Recovering from her injuries isolated her from other people and this isolation influenced her art, many of which are self-portraits of one sort or another. Kahlo suggested, “I paint myself because I am so often alone and because I am the subject I know best.” She also stated, “I was born a bitch. I was born a painter.” Maybe I am attracted to bitches or painters or painters who are bitches. 😉 Or maybe I see a bit of myself in her as I know great physical pain and the obsession to create constantly…enough to drown it out. Whatever the reason….I see immense beauty in her face and her work. I know I am not alone in my fascination as she is one of my BEST sellers.
