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…..

“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….

Enjoy this Summertime treat from my Mother-in-law Betty Cummings. She was inspired by a walk along Siesta Key Beach in Sarasota, Florida. She used bright colors in her oils to achieve this tropical look. I am so fortunate to own some of her original work. And now everyone can enjoy prints too!

The weather in Florida is really lovely right now. It is not too hot yet. I have been working really hard on commissioned paintings for the last two weeks and have been taking some much needed time off. A nice stroll by some water…getting in touch with nature…..taking photographs with my husband. This is what a day off looks like for me captured in the art above titled “Summer Stroll In The Park”. I absolutely love what I do when I am creating for myself or for a collector. Art is my passion! But even I need to take breaks now and again. 🙂

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. 🙂

I’ve always had a goal or two in my mind. Over the years my visualizations have changed, but one thing has stayed constant. I’ve ALWAYS dreamed. Dreaming plays an important role in our lives. It helps us cope with the stresses of life by taking us to places that are safe and comfortable. It gives our brain a much needed rest. Whether it is while you sleep or while you are wide awake, a dream is a sanctuary. It also helps the good in life materialize. Thoughts become things. So the more you focus on positive dreams, the more beautiful your life’s illusion will be. Row row row your boat….life is but a dream……

Recently I decided to clean out and organize all of my clothing drawers. When my husband came in and saw the pile of lace, satin and silk on the floor he said, “We should put those to more use.” I do not think these images were what he had in mind. 😉 But a light bulb definitely went off in my creative mind.
Everyone has there own idea of what SEXY is. Lingerie is usually used to entice and stimulate the desires of both men and women. Or some people wear these delicate little gems just to feel “pretty”. As an artist, I just see patterns, textures, shadows and lines. So I assembled them into interesting positions and photographed them. I added some filter work to give them a “vintage” feel.
As I said yesterday, ugly things can be made pretty. And pretty things can be made even more beautiful….
