It is finished!  After many interactions with my collector, it has become very apparent to me that there is a great love of life in his home.  Between his wife, children, his beloved dogs and beautiful property, he is living “The Good Life”.  This gigantic piece of art has been titled accordingly.  It was my great pleasure to paint for the Neri family and I hope for more opportunities in the future!

 

The weather has not wanted to cooperate for the last few weeks.  It has been rain every single day here in Florida!  So we waited….Not ideal lighting for photographing art, but I was able to get some shots without a torrential downpour. 🙂

I thought I would be able to become “one” with the painting.  I needed to have pants with one side blue and one red and I would have blended right in. 😉

“Down The Rabbit Hole”

Mixed Media Collage Art

Many years ago, I used to do this really cool collaboration work with other artists.  Each of us would take a few weeks collecting “stuff” to send to the other artist.  The challenge was that we had to create a mixed media piece using EVERYTHING the other artist sent.  You could add to it, but you could not leave anything that they sent out.  This piece is a result of an exchange of goodies with Canadian artist Geraldine Gracia.

Since this week has been dedicated to artwork of the past, I thought I’d share a little about the history of my online art sales.  I have always been an artist.  But I have only been creating professionally for about 12 years.  Before my career transition, I was a personal trainer, kick boxing instructor and nutritional consultant.  I enjoyed working with people and inspiring them to make healthy choices in their lives.  It was very rewarding and I had no plans to do anything else.  However, a nasty fall that broke my left foot and a car accident that left my shoulders and neck in disarray provided me with an opportunity to choose something different.  It took my body about 3 months to heal enough to even consider working again, but what happened next proved to be the best healing of all.

When I graduated from high school, I wanted to be a writer, but art seemed like a more viable option.  I couldn’t have been more wrong “at the time.”  I signed up for art school with the excitement and delusion of youth.  I worked hard and did well.  With a degree in hand and a few interviews under my belt, I soon realized that there was no money in art “at the time” so I put my dreams on the shelf and pursued other ventures.

It’s funny how a tragedy like a car accident can sometimes lead to something wonderful in your life.  That is exactly what happened to me.  I was broke, disabled and too stubborn to take financial aid.  Then my husband asked me if I could just find a way to make 1000 per month so we could pay our bills.  Personal training was off the table as my body has never been the same since my injuries.  One night while searching the Internet for inexpensive business clothing, I discovered something that I had never even considered.  People were selling their art Online!  I was pumped because I knew it was something I could do with hard work and perseverance.  I had been there and done that already.  So I got that old dream off of the shelf and got going!

This piece above titled “Sleeping Beauty” is the very first painting that I listed for sale Online.  It sold for 75.00 on eBay.  I was hooked!  And I have never looked back……

I sell a lot of artwork.  These days my print making partners do most of the shipping and customer service for me.  However, I do still paint a significant amount of commission work and originals.  One of the joys I get as an artist is actually “seeing” my work hanging in someone’s home or office.  Not many send me photos, but when they do, I am always taken aback.  Why?  I rarely see my work displayed.  It gets painted on my paint splattered old table and then hung on messy walls until it is fully cured and ready to ship.  I am a creator, so that is what I do.  My collectors are the decorators and as such it is through their camera lens that I get to see my work as they see it for the first time.  It’s kinda cool and strange all at once.  Right there is a piece of my soul hanging in the home of someone I’ve never met.  But I can see it….yes I can.

This arrived in my Etsy inbox this morning.  I did not do anything to their photo other than save it to my computer and upload it here.  So if you’ve ever wondered.  Yes, my colors are that vibrant in real life. 🙂
