“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. 😉

“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….

I remember this piece very well. I almost threw it away. I spent many hours using Pantone markers and Prismacolor colored pencils getting the details of their fur just right. I wanted the eyes to have expression and depth. I was pleased with it’s progress until I tried to create a background. For some reason the grass and trees weren’t coming out the way I envisioned. They seemed too bright and did not look as good as the animals. I was crushed! Then I thought I could save it by making the background solid black. You can still see some of the black around the mane. But that didn’t work either. Finally in a last ditch effort to save all of my hard work, I got my x-acto knife and started the grueling task of cutting the giraffes out. I had to be so careful.
In the end, I decided to make a separate black border and mounted it that way to present to my teacher for grading. I got an A and it was selected for the annual school art show. As a result of it’s exhibition, I sold my very first print in 1993!

An old favorite of mine written by Max Ehrmann in 1927. I have combined the “Desiderata” with my “Peaceful Understanding” which seemed like a perfect combination. The last two lines sum life up for me pretty well, “With all it’s sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.” Enjoy!

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……
