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…..

No I am not drinking on the job. 😉  But I am playing with men’s neckties.  I’ve always had a fascination with these fashionable little pieces of art ever since I was a girl.  Let’s face it….for the most part men’s clothing is boring.  Sure, if you live in Milan and are a part of the fashion scene, there will be a lot of variety and flair.  But for the everyday man it is pants, shirt and a belt with very little color or pattern.  The only real way to jazz it up is a tie.  Ties are pretty.  Gay or straight, it is one way that men can show some artsy beauty without being judged by society.  

In this piece cumulatively titled “Tying One On” I am not only showcasing the beauty of men’s attire, but also showing a little humor.  

“Friday Morning”………….straight and ready for work:

I got a little note from the Universe today which read, “You simply cannot know, Sharon What will make others happy.  But you can always know for yourself.  Go for it….The Universe”  That’s my reminder.  I have been working really hard painting custom work for others and creating pieces for my show that I’ve neglected what makes me happiest.  Like the picture above, I need some time for myself walking along my own creative beach.  There is such a freedom in just letting the energy from your soul release itself onto whatever canvas you choose.  So I am off to do just that today. 🙂
