“Parrot Head”
New Mixed Media Art Painting
Sharon Cummings
2014
I really couldn’t resist naming this guy “Parrot Head”. After all it is both, literally and figuratively. And I do live in paradise close to margaritaville. I’ve got tropical shirts and a hammock. I just need to turn on some Jimmy Buffet tunes and I can convince myself that it is 5 o’ clock somewhere. 😉

“Mystic Moose”
New Mixed Media Art Work
Sharon Cummings
2014
There is so much seriousness in art these days, that I sometimes feel a need to “lighten” it up a bit. I have a very quirky sense of humor and I’d like to think it shows through in my artwork sometimes. Here is Mystic Moose for your contemplation. I hope he makes you smile. 🙂
While I still have pieces from my old portfolio to share, I’ve been busy creating new work as well. I’ve got a few paintings, some patterns and also animals coming soon! I just wish there was more time in the day…

When I woke up this morning, this little guy was waiting for me on the island in the kitchen. It appears that my daughter did some nighttime spider hunting. We are definitely a catch and release family with these big daddy long legs. They eat mosquitoes which is invaluable in Florida, so I will put him out on the porch to dine. It struck me as I snapped this photo that it was more than just cute, it was also good advice. I’ve been inside too much lately and since I am still here to enjoy this World, I will kindly get myself outside today! Heading for the ocean….

Today I am taking my daughter and one of her friends shopping. They love to shop for clothes and accessories, but what teen-aged girl doesn’t? Ok me at that age. I am not much of a shopper and never have been. I have been told many times that I shop like a man. You know the stereotypical male shopper right? He knows what he needs, goes in and gets it and leaves. If that is manly shopping then I must agree. I shop like a man.
Now it’s a totally different story if you drop me into an art supply store. I will look at every single item, take off caps, smell things, etc. Papers must be felt with my hands for textural nuances. Price comparisons for canvas must be made. And look at all of those colors of paint! Every brush has to be pressed against my skin to determine it’s value. I can spend hours immersed in art supplies. So in this one way I am truly a “shopaholic”.
But today it is all giggles, lip-gloss and possibly neon tennis shoes. 😉 The only thing that makes the shopping part bearable for me is the fact that these ladies love a good bargain, so we will be hitting consignment shops and Goodwills. You never know what you will find in those places. 🙂

Maybe this post isn’t as tantalizing as “Girls Gone Wild” but us artists do have a tendency to let go sometimes and just create without boundaries. I love painting fish and birds with a tropical flair, but I usually know in advance that I will be painting them. This piece titled “A Rare Bird” is one of those pieces that seemed to paint itself. I just started slinging paint and lo and behold a bird appeared. I love these moments in creativity. I’ve learned to just go with it….It’s a wild ride!

Whether you are a Day of the Dead aficionado, a Harley Davidson Motorcycle rider, Grateful Dead fan or just someone who finds all of life interesting, you can see the fascination with skulls. Whenever I see them, I like to picture what the person who used to inhabit that cranium must have looked like. So many possibilities. Death doesn’t have to be taboo. It is natural and like all of life should be celebrated. I love playing with skulls and giving them their own personality. I have my goth side. Living is expensive, but the price of death is cheap here:

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

I have really been enjoying creating my new series “The Looking Glass”. It is so fun and interesting to see what appears when I fuse my original paintings together. With this piece the entire image formed a dog. I do see a smiling frog in the center of his forehead and two horses flanking his noggin, but I just found a dog. Your dog? It looks like a Universal Dog to me. It could be any breed and any size. I love the semi-abstract nature of this painting. I have found many things in these works, but I really seem to have a knack for finding dogs. I found this one below in Mastiff Rescue of Florida recently:
Who knows what I will find today……
