When I was a little girl growing up in Myakka City, FL, there was a neighbor just down the road who raised peacocks. These creatures are surprisingly loud and when the wind was just right, our yard would be filled with their haunting cries. I would sometimes take the back pastures over to their farm. I had to go through a handful of barbed wire fences which is something I became an expert at. I would greet the cows being careful not to irritate any of the bulls. I would inevitably pick some wild flowers, but it was the sight of of those brilliant feathers I was after. The males with their jewel colored plumes always mesmerized me. Once in awhile I would get lucky and one of the fowl would have strayed close to the fence and lost a feather. This was the grand prize!

Reinventing the Nude

I have always enjoyed the female form for it’s interesting curves and shadows…at every turn there is a soft hill or burrow. In college I volunteered as a model for many figure drawing classes. I was always struck by how professional and non-sexual posing for a class was. Afterwards, many thanked me for my time and shook my hand. No one ever checked me out or came on to me.It was so very intriguing to walk around and see the many different ways that individual artists interpreted my body. Some making me Rubenesque while others took away my curves. Larger breasts. Smaller breasts. So many styles and creative minds.
“Vulnerable” is a very personal piece. A woman’s back has always seemed to me to be so very sensitive, tender and exposed. My Labor of Love pieces are one of my most recognizable and collected of my styles. It was a challenge to transform a painted medium onto the computer, but the results were fantastic. Sections of my Labor of Love arrangements hand sewn to form exquisite patterns. Stone Rock’d Art was born.She is on her way to becoming one of my best sellers…..feel her vulnerability.
“Suspended” is my favorite from this nude series. I love the tension and mystery in the pose. Those are actually my legs, but I was not suspended. 😉 A photographer friend photographed me laying nude on the sideboard in my dining room. I like to use myself or willing friends as models for my work as much as possible. I had to round out my bottom for this piece of art because pressed against the hard wood left it looking a little flat. 😉 Can you feel the tension?

They say that sex sells. I am not sure who “they” are, but I can tell you that when it comes to my art it simply isn’t true. I mostly sell flowers, landscapes and animals. My sexy and/or edgy pieces take second seat. People rarely comment on them and even more rarely buy. I know it isn’t that the work is bad. It has to do with people’s insecurities and their fear of judgement. Not many art collectors are brave enough to have nudes displayed as focal points in their homes. There might be the charcoal drawing in the bedroom or maybe an abstract in a guest bathroom, but nothing that “shows” anything. Or even worse suggests anything sexual. As a society we are still very prudish when it comes to art which is odd since T.V. and media are filled with raunchy nasty nude imagery. Art is art. Be proud and display it!

Honest S.E.X.Y….

Good ol’ Honest Abe. It is interesting how artists over the years have fixated on certain historic or iconic figures as subject for many creative pieces. I have a few that I come back to over and over again. Abraham Lincoln is one of them. Presidents who get assassinated seem to really “stick” with us, but that is not the allure. He was not a handsome man by any standards, but there is something about his eyes, nose and long face that just says “calm assertiveness”. And that is sexy! His features were very prominent and strong which also has appeal. Lots of contrast to work with. A perfect playground for an artist! I know when I watch movies, I am always most attracted to strong men with “presence” regardless of their looks….that is what Abe had….”A presence”…..And that alone is enough to get the temperature up a degree. 😉

I am creating new original paintings for my upcoming show. I do a lot more digital work these days, so it is a nice change to go back to more visceral creativity. I am recreating some of my pieces from 9 years ago, but with a different twist. Unfortunately the camera I had back then didn’t capture my work well enough for large prints. But these can go as large as 48×60! Now that is big and definitely “Standing Tall”! Happy Sunday all…..

“Storm Flight” was one of the first paintings that I sold as a professional. That was over 10 years ago. I am delighted that I was able to revive it by digitally remastering the painting and then Stone Rock’ng it. Stone Rock’d Art is one of my copyright protected signature patterns. Yesterday I saw that someone found my blog by searching “Stone Rock’d Art How To Sharon Cummings”. Try it and I will pursue legally anyone who steals my copyright protected patterns. The patterns you see in this work are not computer generated. They were hand drawn and then hand sewn digitally to form their unique appearance. They are mine, but everyone can enjoy them here:
