I’ve always been fascinated with my Native American heritage even though I was not brought up in the traditions of my ancestors.  One of the most magical symbols for me has been the dreamcatcher.  The idea that it will snare all of the bad dreams and leave me only with the good ones…

“The Dreaming Tree”

Mixed Media Art

Sharon Cummings

2014

I’ve always had a special place to go to dream.  For most of my life, it’s been a special tree.  Everywhere I’ve lived, I had to find one.  I would either climb up into it’s branches or swing from a rope/tire.  Now, I just sit under it’s cooling shade and let myself go….

I’ve always been a dreamer……but I’m not the only one (ha ha).  Some of my nighttime imagery is wild with amazing colors and detail.  It is inspiration for my painting and other creative works.  I see places that certainly do not exist in the realm I currently inhabit.  I have lived and died in my dreams.  Heaven has been at my doorstep many times.  I also travel to far away lands and meet interesting people.  I wonder what some people dreamt when they were here. What did Da Vinci see in his visions?  Andy Warhol?  Elvis?  Alas we will never know, but I like to think that Galileo might have experienced something like this piece.  My art is my dream and I thank you for joining me on my voyage…

I bet you were surprised to see that as my title.  I am normally an upbeat energetic life loving artist.  I still am. But, I have problems just like everyone else.  I have health concerns, a teenager, animals in my care, a marriage, family struggles, financial worries sometimes and the list goes on.

I have learned by and large that there are two types of people on the Internet. Those who focus on all of life’s crap and negative things in the world.  And those that zero in on the good in people and the beauty of our world. Very few are in the middle.  I see the news.  I know about pain and suffering.  My life certainly has it’s share, but a long time ago, I decided that I wanted to be in the second camp.  The experts call this being an “optimist”.  I just call it self preservation.  I choose every single day to “live in the moment” and focus on positive energy.  This works for me and keeps me on a track that makes me happy on most days.  Not every day.  But most. I am satisfied with that. 🙂

If my artwork can take you away from your problems, even for a moment, that also brings me great joy!  And in that very life affirming feeling lies my purpose: to bring joy to the World.

What Makes You Vital?

There are several definitions for the word “vitality”.  My favorite is the capacity for the continuation of a meaningful or purposeful existence.  So the question is where does this “drive” come from?  For me it comes from several places. There is a pure satisfaction in creating artwork that I know will bring happiness to other people. That keeps me going.  But I also have a need to earn a living to pay my bills so I can eat.  The former gives my life purpose and the later is necessary for motivation. At 45 I feel more “vitality” now than I ever have.  It’s funny how in the first half of your life you have a lot of energy but less focus.

Enjoy my latest in my Transforming Energy series titled “Vitality”.

Her Heart Has Wings

Her heart has wings,

for more than flight.

They give her strength.

They give her sight.

Her heart has wings,

battered by the wind.

They do not break.

They help her bend.

Her heart has wings,

that can’t be tied.

And hopes and dreams.

That won’t be denied.

Her heart has wings,

for so much more.

Her body has limits.

But her spirit will soar…
