“I’ve Got Your Back”

New Mixed Media Art

Sharon Cummings

2014

Whose got your back?  In my lifetime, I’ve heard the words many times, but have learned that only a precious few have actually meant it.  I can count on my fingers the friends and family that have truly been there for me through thick and thin.  Today I solute them and am thankful that I only have ONE back. 😉

Love Has No Fear

There is no fear in love. Perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment.  Love has to do with acceptance and protection.  This is not something I understood growing up…..I had to learn what healthy love meant. Once I did…..my whole world just opened up.

This piece of art started as an acrylic abstract on Yupo.  Many months later I saw a cliff in the painting and the idea of a tree came to me which then evolved into a symbol for true love.  It is a mixed media piece that combines three elements (background, tree and heart) created separately and then beautifully married on the computer.  The results are very satisfying to me.

I believe most of us do……Right now I am loving my career. What a joy to create “loving” artwork to share with the world!

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?

A Slam Dunk!!

This year you’ve got this……bag the traditionally hyped up gifts or if you must, make them REALLY SPECIAL.  It’s time to think outside of the box. Consider a beautiful piece of artwork that will show your love and affection!  It will last a LIFETIME!  Every time your love looks at the piece hanging on their wall or sitting on their desk they will swell up with a warm feeling.  Seriously….you will blow them away!

http://fineartamerica.com/weeklypromotion.html?promotionid=136728

Wanna pump it up a notch and SCORE major points? Sure you do!  Write a love note on the back of the gorgeous print you just bought them.  Perhaps a Neruda poem (look it up….they will melt!)?

Planning on proposing or giving jewelry?  Why be ordinary?  Tape the engagement ring to he back of the romantic print!! Imagine that…..a beautiful ring and a piece of artwork to mark the occasion for the rest of their life!  Any jewelry can be taped to the back with a love note hand written by you in permanent marker right on the canvas.

http://fineartamerica.com/weeklypromotion.html?promotionid=135009

Do they love the way you smell?  This idea will knock their socks off!  Spray your scent on the back of the print before wrapping and presenting….mmmmm  It’s all YOU plus oh so romantic!

Or how about this?  She has been jonesing for a really expensive perfume….spray it onto the back of the print.  Give her the art first and let her take in her coveted smell.  Then present her with the bottle!

http://fineartamerica.com/weeklypromotion.html?promotionid=136283

Planning on Giving Flowers?  Go ahead and take it to the NEXT LEVEL!  Add a sweet and thoughtful little canvas print with the bouquet.  And do not forget to write the love note on the back!

Other Great Ideas!!  Write some lyrics to your “couple” song on the back.  Tape a picture of the two of you to the back with a special note, date or concert ticket.

Flowers die, candy disappears and perfume runs out.  But art is timeless!!  These great DEALS on beautiful gallery wrapped canvas prints will guarantee a SCORE on Valentine’s Day!!

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. 🙂

As I am working away here getting ready for my upcoming art show and completing custom work for the Holidays, I find I have a good problem.  I had 5 original paintings on canvas that were going to be showcased in the show, but they have all sold!  So I am working even harder to create more work.  I will not list these new pieces because I actually need some originals on my display panels. 🙂  I have been moved by the support I am receiving lately.  I have collectors who say they will drive upwards of 6 hours to come to see me and that they have been waiting for me to have a show.  One person is driving across state and another is coming from Georgia.  If my people are going to come that far….I’d better make sure I have some real nice paintings to show them. 🙂  Cheers!  

The One

If you are lucky….you have that one person in your life that has stuck with you through thick and thin.  No sin has been so great that it has not been forgiven.  No hardship so horrible that the burden could not be shared.  That special someone has a voice and heart that beckons a phone call at any hour.  A hand that is always at the ready to steady you or just to say “I am here” and “I will stand by you”.  For many it is Mom, but my Mother abandoned me emotionally and physically from a very early age.  My Dad passed when I was 10 and though I have had friends come and go in my life, for the past nearly 12 years, I have had that special someone.  Thank you Bill….my husband….my love….the one who is always by my side….

And we were side by side when this shot was taken….

F.I.R.E.!!!

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!

Love is love.  As I fused this painting together I immediately saw hearts forming in several places, but it was only when I looked further that I saw that there were two beings holding a heart between them.  The two halves made one heart.  One love.  I particularly like that these two beautiful souls appear to not have gender, status or anything that makes them different from each other.  Just two people bonded in love.  Love is love…..
