“Sweet Song”

Mixed Media Painting/Collage

Sharon Cummings

2014

So many changes are occurring in my life right now.  My body and mind are maturing as expected, but I am referring to other things.  My little girl is moving out onto her college campus this week (a room became available).  I am so proud of her as she has had to deal with Asperger’s, but is spreading her wings beautifully.  My husband is well integrated and delighted with his new position as department chair.  I am anticipating a move to a new city where ART is what is happening.  A move away from Tampa where art is just an afterthought.  Even though I enjoy my online artsy buddies, I look forward to lots of “in person” artist friends.  My artwork is evolving in so many ways and I have new ideas coming which will be unveiled next year.  I am getting recognition from big names like ABC (My artwork will be on Criminal Minds on November 26th!) and Hilton (See 45 of my pieces in a new resort in Islamorada, FL in the Spring!!)   I have finally made a healthy choice within my family relationships.  I have shed my extended dysfunctional family and my scapegoat role within it once and for all.  I can now focus on all that is dear to me. The healthy side of my life.  I feel like it has all come together into one sweet song…

Golf balls that is…..

I do not play golf, but I could not resist this bag of old and well used golf balls at an estate sale recently.  They looked lonely all by themselves and perfect for my lens.  I can only imagine the stories behind them.  I tried to learn this sport a long time ago when a date who loved to play invited me along.  I got tired of walking since we did not use a golf cart.  There just wasn’t enough “action” for my football loving tastes.  Plus my balls went everywhere and it is a miracle that neither of us ended up with a concussion.  I would hit them hard and then I kept forgetting to yell “fore”!  What a riot…..

I know for a lot of folks golfing is a serious past time and I do respect it as a sport, but for me it is just a funny memory.  Enjoy!

While I was working on my Three Birds piece yesterday the wheels started turning and I wondered if this could become a series.  Why yes it can!  More colorful Spring images on the way. 🙂  I created the hummingbird and hibiscus in this piece well over a year ago. People seem to like it with a white background, but I like the added interest the colors and patterns make.

I’ve got so many images to list right now it is crazy.  I still have a dozen pieces from my Transforming Energy series to get online plus another dozen or so maps.  And then there are photos!  If only one hour of sleep was enough!
