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. 🙂

Her Heart Has Wings
Her heart has wings,
for more than flight.
They give her strength.
They give her sight.
Her heart has wings,
battered by the wind.
They do not break.
They help her bend.
Her heart has wings,
that can’t be tied.
And hopes and dreams.
That won’t be denied.
Her heart has wings,
for so much more.
Her body has limits.
But her spirit will soar…

As an artist I often create “pretty” things that people love and buy to decorate their homes. There is nothing wrong with decorative work and I enjoy making it. However, in this new series called “The Looking Glass” I am getting in touch with a more visceral side of my being. I am allowing images to form without thought of decor matching or mass appeal. I am just “being” and what forms forms. This painting titled “The Samurai” is very powerful to me. It evokes strong emotions of strength but also of protection and safety. I’d like this to hang in my entry way to my home. The colors and image are strong, but the essence is soft and comforting. What does he make you feel?
