My Saving G.R.A.C.E…

It may come as a surprise to some of my readers and followers, but I have a rebellious streak in me that made me a less than ideal student, a problem daughter and ex-wife to 3 men.  I’ve never liked being told what I should do or how I should act.  I am a rule breaker and an outspoken independent woman. My mother would often scold calling me a little brat.  Her favorite line was, “That mouth of yours is going to get you into real trouble someday.” I suppose she was right in that I have found myself in many uncomfortable situations over the years by words I’ve said.  After my first meeting with my now Mother-In-Law she told my husband, “Wow, she will say anything.” But that openness is also my “saving grace”.  It enabled me to stand up to an abuser declaring enough was enough.  I exposed everything without leaving off details and was able to heal.  It is also what has allowed me to be a “real” mom to my own child.  She was never confused about where babies came from or whether or not Santa was real.  This same freedom of thought and voice is also what gives me the ability to create artwork without following set guidelines. Because I do not limit myself in any way, I am able to paint with acrylics, take photographs or use my computer to produce artwork.

What is your “saving grace”?  It just might be something that you were told was “bad” about you, but in reality turns out to be something so very “good”.

Are You Honest?

Ask most people if they are honest and they will say “yes” with absolute conviction.  We as a people like to think that we have integrity and morals.  In the larger picture, that may be true. After all the majority of the population obey the rules and stay out of jail.  We work hard and raise our children to be upstanding citizens.  We pay our taxes.  We live an honorable life.

But the truth is (pun intended) that we tell “little” lies all of the time.  We convince our little ones that there is this person called Santa Claus.  We tell our friends we have other plans when we just do not feel like going out to dinner with them.  We call in sick to work when what we really want is a day off.  And we tell our mate we had a salad for lunch when we really had a cheeseburger in order to avoid conflict.  And one of the biggest lies we all tell is that we are “fine” when someone asks how we are doing when we really feel horrible.  In fact, we are a lying culture because it is much more acceptable to be polite than sincere.  

Where am I going with all of this?  I honestly do not know, except to explore just how complex our ethics really are.  We are taught that lying is wrong, but we are also taught that you shouldn’t hurt people.  The truth hurts sometimes….so we avoid it.  Because the lesser of two evils is to spare someone’s feelings.  Or is it to spare our own?  Conflict avoidance seems to be one of the biggest triggers for dishonesty.

In my own life, I try to avoid doing things that I would need to lie about to the people I love.  My child was also never subjected to the “stork” and Santa Claus was “The Christmas Spirit”.  But am I 100% honest?

My newest piece above titled “Honesty” is. 🙂

When was the last time you met someone who was really charming?  You know the type. Someone who has an open, friendly and contagious smile.  A person who has a real way with words and could convince you that just about anything was absolutely wonderful simply because they believe it is!  I am talking about the genuine type and not the sleazy car salesperson who is trying to be charming just to sell you a car.  Do you even know someone like this?  Are you sure?  You may not be able to know the motives of people, but look deep into my new painting and be “charmed”……be sure…..

I’ve been looking through The Looking Glass again…..actually I’ve been playing around in it for quite some time now.  I had 22 images to share with the World and got them all up yesterday.  Whew!  I am getting ready for the Holiday season and promotion and custom work will be the names of the game for the next 6 weeks.  I will not have much time to create new paintings let alone list them!  So enjoy these NEW pieces until the crazy time ends!

I’ve always had a thing for circles.  Every since I can remember, I would collect round pretty things.  I would constantly draw them.  I would intersect, separate or make a mosaic.  And as a career artists much of my work features circles and spirals.  To me they symbolize the continuity of all that the Universe entails.  Everything is connected and returns to the starting point.  For some reason lately, I have been seeing these beautiful mandalas everywhere.  It’s as if they were calling to me to create some.  I found some youtube videos showing how to make them with Photoshop but my brain just tuned out, but I did grab a few things from them….enough to figure it out myself by experimenting.  Here are my first mandalas…..I was surprised by their striking beauty.  I hope you like them too!

This piece intrigued me from the moment I fused the acrylic images together.  I saw a sleeping moose and a cow with her eyes closed immediately.  But I struggled for a name and I was stuck.  I posted the image on my Facebook fan page to see what others might see in the work.  The response was phenomenal!  So many got involved and had ideas and saw things I never considered.  Ultimately one of my fans saw a beast at the top and a beauty beneath and once I saw those images, that made the title he chose perfect….”Beauty And The Beast”…..so much to see.

TIME TRAVEL – Where Would You Go?

Time travel has been an interest in Science Fiction films and books for many years.  Poets have written about it.  Scientists have dreamed of it.  So far, all we can do is go back in our minds to places we have been or seen before.  If you could go back in time, where would you go?  Sometimes I think it would be cool to go back a few hundred years and see how people acted back then.  But then I remember my Holistic Medicine beliefs…my herbs….my meditation and know I would be burned at the stake somewhere.  Honestly if I could go back, I would not go far.  I’d go back to last Summer and say goodbye to my Dad before he passed away.  I’d go back and spend time with Grandparents, Friends and other loved ones who have passed.  For me time travel wouldn’t be all that exciting to an outsider looking in.  Iced tea and biscuits with Granny would be Nirvana…..Digging up worms with my Dad for fishing would be amazing……Where would you go?

Webster tell us that enlightenment means the state of having knowledge or understanding : the act of giving someone knowledge or understanding.  For me it means seeing my world for what it really is.  Taking off blinders and realizing where I am nourished and walking away from people and places that do not feed my soul.  it is spiritual satisfaction.  In this abstract art piece titled “Enlightenment” I see a very satisfied soul….an all knowing crow and a beautiful tropical bird.  It makes me feel happy in side.  My Looking Glass series takes original paintings on yopo and fuses them together to form interesting faces, figures and objects.  Look closely and discover new things!

Also a new pattern today titled “Awakening Spirit”….do you see two sides of the brain? Someone pointed that out to me….always finding something NEW in these!
