“Nature’s Chorus”

New Mixed Media Art Painting Based On Old Pen

And Ink Drawings From 25 Years Ago

Sharon Cummings

2014

I am still reincarnating some of my older work into newer pieces.  It’s so much fun to see these old renderings transformed into a brand new piece of art.  When I was sitting hunched over my drafting table all of those years ago painstakingly drawing lines, I had no idea that someday there were be a computer program that would allow me to colorize them using my original paintings.  Really technology rocks!

“Comfort”

Screen print from etched acrylic and ink.

Sharon Cummings

Circa 1992

This piece is definitely a one off by me.  It started as an etching on a hard acrylic sheet that was then inked and pressed on a screen press.  I remember the acrylic being very difficult to scratch into.  I still have the block and the original sketch to this piece.  A rare find…

You create something beautiful of course!  It’s not just lemonade. 😉  I have been super busy working on my licensing partner’s requests and commissions.  I also have an upcoming show scheduled for March 2nd here in Tampa (more on that soon).  But I still find time to create as it is a MUST for my soul.  It clears my mind and calms my heart.  Please enjoy my latest art!

I have always had a fascination with light and shadow.  In my latest work titled “Violet Blue” I have used aqua as light and violet blues as shadow to create depth and dimension.  It has a fluidity as well that evokes a sense of watery movement.  Sit back for a moment and relax your eyes and just let your vision get absorbed into the light….feel the calm energy that fills your mind….

It’s A Jubilee!

Like most artists, I am most happy when I am creating.  When it comes to the selling part it takes a great mental effort to “enjoy” the process.  It is tedious and monotonous to do computer work. Listing and promoting.  Listing and promoting.  Answering emails.  Ordering supplies.  If only a wealthy patron would sponsor me so all I had to do was paint and create all day without even considering the business of selling art.  While I am still waiting for that fantasy to come true, I soothe myself with those moments of utter jubilant joy when I can escape the dirty work and just create.  O.k., painting is dirty too, but a good kind of dirty. 😉  

Please enjoy my latest painting titled “Jubilee”.  It was a real treat to create!

Sometimes you just gotta get fresh!  I have been promoting past works heavily lately for the Holiday season and I have been painting custom work based on much older pieces.  I love working with all of my creations, but sometimes I really need to create something new.  After avoiding yellow for many years due to emotional reasons, I have found that it is showing up a lot lately.  Something really bad happened to me that I used to associate with the color, so it is refreshing to see my soul embracing this light and life giving hue.  Today I offer you some fresh lemons….I can almost smell them….

Just For Me…

Just for me….A Garnet Sea.  I took yesterday to create work for my soul….just expressing what “I” wanted to feel.  A break from the custom work and show pieces….Felt so good!  And now I share it with you….

Dark Swan

This piece was discovered while I was creating a colorful abstract painting.  I say “discovered” because often when I create, I simply apply the medium and and the work reveals itself.  Michelangelo said it best:  I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.  I will wash, blow and splatter everything away from the painting until I find it.  “Dark Swan” appeared to me and really spoke to my soul.  It is dark, but there is lightness there also.  Just like the soul…..

I have really been working hard lately.  I am not sure why but I have more creative energy than I have ever had.  So I will leave you with another Michelangelo quote which best describes what I do each day: If people knew how hard I worked to get my mastery, it wouldn’t seem so wonderful at all.

There is something very musical in the way I paint.  The fluidity feels a lot like dancing.  In fact, sometimes I do dance while I work.  I always have music playing and this piece is a pure reflection of me…my art….The Dancer:
