To my family, friends and collectors….I am thankful for all of you! My art collector family: you have a special place in my heart for giving me the support and income needed to have a successful and fulfilling career life. Friends and Family: I am honored by the connections we have made. For those in my past, I appreciate the companionship and lessons learned (both the good and the bad). I am eternally grateful for any kindness (big or small). For those in my present, you are all of the above and my treasured lifeline. I cherish each and every one of you. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

“Gratitude Rocks”
Mixed Media Art
Sharon Cummings
.
A few years ago I was introduced to the idea of a “gratitude rock”. First you find a rock that is interesting or attractive to you. You then place the rock by your bed on your nightstand and each night you hold the rock in your hands and think of as many things as you can that you are grateful for for that day. It really gets you into a positive mindset before going to bed and plants a seed that your life is abundant. The more you use your rock, the more your seeds will grow. You will find your attitude becoming more positive even in the daytime. Bad days become a little less heavy when you actively search for the good each night. Give it a try!

“My Cup Runneth Over” is a quotation from the Hebrew Bible[1] (Psalm 23:5) and means “I have more than enough for my needs”. As I spent a good part of this week painting a bathroom instead of canvas, this sentiment could not have been more true. My husband and I worked the remodel project ourselves and it gave us a lot of time to talk. William spent a few year living in Southeast Asia on a small island in Indonesia. Modern plumbing was scarce and the average American potty would seem like opulent luxury to those poor people. I am thankful for all that I have including indoor plumbing. We have two rest rooms…..more than enough for our needs…..indeed. My cup runneth over…..

This time of year when I am busy working like one of Santa’s elves and hustling about trying to get my Holiday shopping done, it is easy to forget that so many people in our world, country, state, city and neighborhood will not be having a “merry” Christmas. For many just getting to their next meal is a blessing. However, every year the Universe sends me a reminder to be giving. To show compassion and love. There is always a homeless person I encounter each year whose eyes speak to me in a way I cannot adequately explain. I almost feel as if it is God looking back at me saying, “I have given so much to you, will you give something back?” I always give large bills even though they are asking only for spare change. I also make a point to touch them by gently squeezing their hands and making eye contact. I speak to them. There is something so humbling in seeing their eyes light up and the sheer gratitude they exude. Some say….”oh they will just go and buy booze with that money.” That may be true, but one thing I am very certain about is that God did not place me on this earth to judge others and to determine my generosity based on what the recipient might or might not do with my compassion. I am simply called to be so…..

If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough.
This is one of my favorite prayers and I say it first thing every morning when I awaken and last thing before I go to sleep. I am truly grateful for my life. I have had a hard one, but I have always had gratitude in my moments of prayer. I understand that my presence here is a gift from the Universe. Challenges are what allow me to see all of the good in my life with absolute clarity. Right now I have so much love, health, friendship and success that I can see no other way to live it but in gratitude. I still struggle at times, but even in the darkest hours there is always something to be thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving!

It hurts when an artist has a painting returned. For me it is very rare. In fact, I can count on my hands the returns I’ve had in 10 years! Considering I have shipped out over 3000 originals, those are pretty good statistics. The piece you see here was returned recently. That stings bad enough, but the people were nasty and mean about it. They said it was ugly in person and that I didn’t do a good job in creating it. They saw it as a “product” and not an expression of joy and creation. They treated it like something they bought at Target. I knew in my heart that they were just unhappy people inside and that nothing would satisfy them. There would be no art from any artist good enough for them. But it still hurt. I also knew that one day this painting would end up in it’s rightful home where it would be loved and appreciated. That someone found this wonderful piece last week and this is what they had to say: Sharon, The piece arrived safe this morning. It is more beautiful in person than it is online. I can’t tell you how great it makes me feel. My life is turning a corner and this piece of art will be front and center. Thank you again for allowing me to purchase this piece. Thanks for bringing this light, life and beauty to my life. Yours, S.D. I have a great gratitude. So to the couple in Texas who returned my “Invisible Blue Sun” I want to say thank you. Your return made someone else VERY HAPPY…….and that is priceless!
