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…..

Pathway To Zen…

The Urban Dictionary describes zen as a total state of focus that incorporates a total togetherness of body and mind. Zen is a way of being. It also is a state of mind. Zen involves dropping illusion and seeing things without distortion created by your own thoughts.

I have been finding myself more and more in a zen like state lately.  The air is salty and the water is cool.  My hands search for the past through shells and rocks dredged from the earth beneath the sea.  As fossils emerge, work fades to the background. Pain and sorrow recedes with each wave.  Joy replaces all emptiness and I become one with all there is.  The path is becoming more clear…

“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!

I just cannot stop the creative process. Years ago, I was always a little sad when I finished a painting, sold it and sent it off to it’s new home. It meant that it was over. My baby had grown up and moved away. But with today’s digital technology, I can keep creating long after the initial painting is finished. My work lives on in other forms. How cool is that!

I can scan gigantic files of my work and crop out abstracts like this:

Or I can combine the crops and create mirror image work like this one:

It’s all so magical to me. 🙂 And I will not stop!
