HopeFB

What is hope? The dictionary tell us that hope is an optimistic attitude of mind based on an expectation of positive outcomes related to events and circumstances in one’s life or the world at large. Yes, I’ve got some. I have hope for an America where all citizens are equal. I have hope for my health to continue to improve. I have hope for my autistic daughter, that she will continue to grow and find her way in the World. I have hope that my marriage will stay strong and filled with love all the way until the end. I have hope that my friends will find peace in their lives. I could go on…

Do you have hope?

The word “succulent” sounds titillating.  You can almost “feel” what it means as it rolls off of your tongue.  Say it right now.  Slowly…

O.k. maybe I just wanted to use the words “succulent and “titillating” in the same sentence. 😉  But these beauties grow all over the place in Florida.  They seem to be just as happy in our tropical swamp as they are in the dry air of the desert.  But with thousands of varieties available, they do have varying care requirements.  So if you want to grow some of these beauties inside or out, read the labels on the plants before buying.  They do love bright sunlight, but they can get sunburned.  I have seen a few wither and die myself.

I love the smooth feel they have and the variety of colors they come in.  I’ve taken artistic liberty with this one obviously.  I was intrigued by the interesting shapes and shadows in this plant.  Nature is my inspiration!

I get asked that question often.  A lot of people I know love to travel.  My In-Laws just got back from Africa recently.  A good friend had an adventure in Cuba last month. My husband lived in Indonesia for a few years.  And the list goes on.  I like the “idea” of traveling more than the actual experience. I love to “see” the world and wish there was a way to beam myself to various locals just long enough to take it in.  Bypassing the long flights, nasty airports, restrooms….sleeping in strange place.  Odd food.  I am not exactly a homebody though.  I’ve been to a few places as far away as Hawaii which is pretty far considering I live in Florida.  And I have been to many cities all over the United States, but I have never been to another country.  I’ve got plans…..  I know it isn’t too far, but Canada is the first place I want to visit off of U.S. soil.  Where have you been?  And where do you want to go?  

Pick your spot on one of my colorful maps….

I was shown real love as a child by two people.  My birth father and my grandmother.  If wasn’t for them, I would likely have a very warped idea of what the feeling meant.  Coming from a dysfunctional family taught me many things about people.  One is that we all show love in a unique way and that we all feel loved by different methods.  Some feel loved by words.  Others need actions.  And others still need both.  For me, I need to feel “cared for” and I need to see from the other person that they are willing to put effort into our relationship.  Make a call even though you’ve been busy.  Come over and help when I need it (pay attention to my life and offer when you see the need).  Visit me (I visit my friends and family regularly even though many of them live far away).  Send a text just to make me laugh.  Carry part of my burden whether that means a sympathetic ear sometimes or just grabbing the heavy grocery bags.  This goes for romance, family or friends.  

Gifts and mere words have never given me that deep soulful satisfaction.

What makes you feel loved?

Love is a messy business sometimes.  My “Hearts On Fire” painting is one of my most often requested commissions.  In the past I was only able to offer custom work and small prints of this lovely piece.  However, I have been able to digitally remaster the original to create a beautiful print.  Now love is easy to own. 🙂

You can purchase a print here:

It hurts when an artist has a painting returned.  For me it is very rare.  In fact, I can count on my hands the returns I’ve had in 10 years!  Considering I have shipped out over 3000 originals, those are pretty good statistics.  The piece you see here was returned recently.  That stings bad enough, but the people were nasty and mean about it.  They said it was ugly in person and that I didn’t do a good job in creating it.  They saw it as a “product” and not an expression of joy and creation.  They treated it like something they bought at Target.  I knew in my heart that they were just unhappy people inside and that nothing would satisfy them.  There would be no art from any artist good enough for them.  But it still hurt. I also knew that one day this painting would end up in it’s rightful home where it would be loved and appreciated.  That someone found this wonderful piece last week and this is what they had to say: Sharon, The piece arrived safe this morning. It is more beautiful in person than it is online. I can’t tell you how great it makes me feel. My life is turning a corner and this piece of art will be front and center. Thank you again for allowing me to purchase this piece. Thanks for bringing this light, life and beauty to my life. Yours, S.D.  I have a great gratitude.  So to the couple in Texas who returned my “Invisible Blue Sun” I want to say thank you.  Your return made someone else VERY HAPPY…….and that is priceless!

Yes indeed…..I am on fire!!  I visualized my dreams….I spoke of them as if they were already happening.  I believed.  And now I have exceeded them!  So in celebration I have digitally remastered one of my most popular pieces.  “Hearts On Fire”.  It has always been one of my favorites from my work.  The colors in this painting really “click” with me and the sizzling fire just gets me happy!  It used to only be available as a very small print, but now you can SET YOUR WALLS ON FIRE very large!  Enjoy!

Black Magic!  I have really enjoyed creating my Black Magic pieces for many years and recently I discovered a cool way to make them even cooler.  I digitally inverted them so that the black in the magic is now white.  They look totally different this way and the effects have been very popular.  These are now in homes all over the world.  Black and White is so clean and neutral.  These would look good in just about any space.  Enjoy an old favorite in a new way!

Pillow Fight!!

Ok maybe it’s not a fight, but I do have an awful lot of pillows. 🙂  I’ve been working really hard to make my artwork available in more ways.  I am working with an art agency who is marketing my work to major stores and restaurants right now.  You can find me in Spencer’s and College Bookstores.  But you can also get my work on pillows, cell phone cases, etc.  These are pieces of art in themselves and can be a focal point in your bedroom, living room or how bout your house boat?  The possibilities are endless.
