“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 hope you are having a happy Christmas….For many years of my life, I did not enjoy the Holiday. When I was 10 years old my Dad committed suicide just 6 days before Christmas…for me the Holiday lost all meaning and became a horror to get through each year….until…..I had my own child. My daughter is the most exuberant and festive person I have ever known. Everything must be decorated! She isn’t a materialistic person so simple little inexpensive gifts give her plenty of joy! Stocking stuffers are a favorite. She loves to bake and clean the house for guests. She makes cards and sings all the classics starting December 1st. Really there is NO way to avoid feeling HAPPY about the Season with her in my world!! She changed my life…and now Christmas is again Merry for me. 
The piece above really expresses my life right now…me…my husband and our daughter…..Merry Christmas ALL!!

Cyber Monday has always sounded naughty to me. Like something you just do not talk about in mixed company. 😉 But at least it is something you can do in the privacy of your own home, bathroom and even in your cubicle at work. 🙂 In fact people are cyber mondaying all over the place on smart phones. Someone sitting next to you on the bus may be cybering. And your Mom is probably cybering your Christmas gift as you read this! Ha ha
In all seriousness….today is your last chance to SAVE BIG on my work through Fine Art America. For SAFE cyber mondaying, please enjoy 50% off of my commission on all Fine Art America prints. That’s right…I am willing to reduce my income by half. How many folks would do that? This coupon is for 50% off of “MY” mark up and not the total price. Simply shop and when you check out put in this coupon code to see how much you can save!

I recently read an article that explained that Black Friday was just hype. That the so called “deals” at department stores and bricks and mortar retailers were really just psychological number games. People get caught up in the frenzy of the sale and totally forget to analyze whether they are actually saving anything. To me, even if there were real deals, there is no way I’d risk my life (people get trampled!) or that much of my time and energy just to save a few bucks. Have you seen the parking lots at malls on the day after Thanksgiving? I personally have better things to do with my time. 🙂
Seriously…..stay safe….stay home and support hard working self-representing artisans. Thank you and happy shopping!

It’s been suggested in various groups that I might be an alien. Why? Other artists see how much work I produce and how much I market myself. They wonder how I can do so much and be human. I’ve addressed this in other posts, but it all boils down to focus for me. Some experts might even call it OCD. 😉 I will say that as I am ageing that my focus has gotten a little blurry sometimes and I do forget to do things on occasion. I also get tired. But this time of year I am hyped on the excitement of the season. I absolutely thrive on painting gifts for people to share with the one’s they love. The thought of the joy my work will bring is out of this world! And getting ready for my first show has me smiling at the speed of light. It’s a full creative moon! There are UFO’s everywhere (unbelievably fun objects). It means more hours of painting and more hours of promoting, but just maybe the Mother Ship has a spa waiting for me come mid December…..

Tis the season for sure around here….commission work hanging on every wall….prints being readied for a show. Tons of emails to answer from eager people wanting the perfect and unique gift for their loved one on Christmas or Hanukkah. It’s like this every single year and I love it! The addition of the show preparation is new, so I am even busier than usual. At some point I will need to find time to decorate my own house and get festive with my family…only another 5 weeks or so…..For now I will get my original Twinkle out to start to mentally prepare. The original is not for sale, but you can have your own decorated tree using the link above!

Why do we outgrow toys? I remember fondly my stuffed animal collection from my childhood. I had over 100! Each one had a name and a special order on my bed. They had to go in the right order. O.k….I have OCD, but I do treasure the comfort I got from hugging them tightly when I was down. There was a delight in the feel of soft fur under my hands. And sometimes they were a friendly face to talk to when I had secrets to share. My daughter is 17 but she still loves her fake fur babies. She squealed with delight when I brought her a soft stuffed alpaca from a recent trip! I hope she never loses this love for them. There is no need….and you can recall those memories with these images if the real deal seams a little not so grown up. 😉
My husband, William Patrick, and I play with toys and photography together….seems we have not outgrown them after all!
