Christmas S.H.A.M.E…

ChristmasTreeFB“Colorful Christmas Tree”

Mixed Media Painting/Collage

Sharon Cummings

2014

It’s a little pathetic that my daughter has put up and decorated the tree herself this year.  She also put up the wreaths, bought poinsettias, made a ginger bread house, baked sugar cookies and put antlers on the dogs.  She is in college mind you, but she did it all alone.  It sounds so sad, but we ALWAYS wait until the 15th to start Christmas! For me the time between Thanksgiving and the 15th is a whirl of painting, packaging and promoting!  This year she was so bursting with festivity that she couldn’t be patient and wait for me and my husband to finish up our BUSY time of the year.  The “ahhhhhhhhh” time has finally come!  So we are joining her in the fun and joy!  I will not be around much until after the New Year.  It’s time for the reward for all of the hard work.  Shopping!  Now that is something she and I will do together. 🙂

Are You a S.H.O.P.aholic?

Today I am taking my daughter and one of her friends shopping.  They love to shop for clothes and accessories, but what teen-aged girl doesn’t?  Ok me at that age.  I am not much of a shopper and never have been.  I have been told many times that I shop like a man.  You know the stereotypical male shopper right?  He knows what he needs, goes in and gets it and leaves.  If that is manly shopping then I must agree.  I shop like a man.

Now it’s a totally different story if you drop me into an art supply store.  I will look at every single item, take off caps, smell things, etc. Papers must be felt with my hands for textural nuances.  Price comparisons for canvas must be made.  And look at all of those colors of paint!  Every brush has to be pressed against my skin to determine it’s value.  I can spend hours immersed in art supplies.  So in this one way I am truly a “shopaholic”.

But today it is all giggles, lip-gloss and possibly neon tennis shoes. 😉  The only thing that makes the shopping part bearable for me is the fact that these ladies love a good bargain, so we will be hitting consignment shops and Goodwills.  You never know what you will find in those places. 🙂

Cyber Monday has always sounded naughty to me.  Like something you just do not talk about in mixed company. 😉  But at least it is something you can do in the privacy of your own home, bathroom and even in your cubicle at work. 🙂 In fact people are cyber mondaying all over the place on smart phones.  Someone sitting next to you on the bus may be cybering.  And your Mom is probably cybering your Christmas gift as you read this!  Ha ha

In all seriousness….today is your last chance to SAVE BIG on my work through Fine Art America. For SAFE cyber mondaying, please enjoy 50% off of my commission on all Fine Art America prints. That’s right…I am willing to reduce my income by half. How many folks would do that? This coupon is for 50% off of “MY” mark up and not the total price.  Simply shop and when you check out put in this coupon code to see how much you can save!

Coupon Code:  SUBYTE   Discount:  50.00% Off Artist Mark Up  Quantity: Unlimited Expires:  12/04/2013

Black Friday Bunk?

I recently read an article that explained that Black Friday was just hype.  That the so called “deals” at department stores and bricks and mortar retailers were really just psychological number games.  People get caught up in the frenzy of the sale and totally forget to analyze whether they are actually saving anything.  To me, even if there were real deals, there is no way I’d risk my life (people get trampled!) or that much of my time and energy just to save a few bucks.  Have you seen the parking lots at malls on the day after Thanksgiving?  I personally have better things to do with my time. 🙂

 

Seriously…..stay safe….stay home and support hard working self-representing artisans.  Thank you and happy shopping!

I Am An Alien…

It’s been suggested in various groups that I might be an alien.  Why?  Other artists see how much work I produce and how much I market myself.  They wonder how I can do so much and be human.  I’ve addressed this in other posts, but it all boils down to focus for me.  Some experts might even call it OCD. 😉  I will say that as I am ageing that my focus has gotten a little blurry sometimes and I do forget to do things on occasion.  I also get tired.  But this time of year I am hyped on the excitement of the season.  I absolutely thrive on painting gifts for people to share with the one’s they love.  The thought of the joy my work will bring is out of this world!  And getting ready for my first show has me smiling at the speed of light.  It’s a full creative moon! There are UFO’s everywhere (unbelievably fun objects).  It means more hours of painting and more hours of promoting, but just maybe the Mother Ship has a spa waiting for me come mid December…..

Deep Visions

Over the years I have experimented with a variety of styles. One of the greatest things about being an artist is that I have no boundaries for creative expression. I can create something different every day! I have developed a few signature styles in my art that I have not seen anyone successfully copy (it’s hard to copy someone else’s vision). People recognize my Labor of Love, Stone Rock’d, Pure Water and Black Magic the most. But this style you see here is one of my favorites. My art often evolves as I am creating and it is as much a delight to me to see what happens as I move paint and water around as it is to my collectors to view it. Deep Visions requires a lot of paint that is then sprayed and moved around with water. Adding expensive inference paints to the mix gives a opulence that is just stunning. This style is reminiscent of coral reef…deep sea…underwater treasures. I paint commission paintings, but no two could ever be exactly alike…

Every Summer I take my daughter on a little girl’s getaway.  Neither of us are real fashion hounds, but we do love a good bargain.  We like to make our way down to Sarasota, FL hitting the Ellenton Outlet Mall first.  We can usually find a few goodies there, but the best shopping is along the main drag through Sarasota and Bradenton.  There seems to be a Goodwill or a thrift store every few miles.  It’s fun to find odds and ends at each place and then put them all together at the end of the day to make a unique outfit.  Sometimes I find interesting things to photograph for my artwork too.  We eat like queens and give each other pedicures.  This is what life is about and I leave work far behind me…..

Basking In The Glory….

I created this sunflower art many years ago using my signature “Labor of Love” style.  When I listed it for sale, it sold immediately…..within minutes!  It’s always been a favorite of mine, but for many years it languished as a print listing without much interest.  I’ve always wondered why and now I know!  It just wasn’t getting any traffic!  Two days ago Fine Art America promoted this piece to email subscribers (I did not know they were going to do this).  The response was phenomenal!  I got tons of comments, inquiries for commissions and I’ve sold 15 prints so far!  So happy that this painting is finally getting the attention it deserves.  It was created with so much joy….joy that should fill others too. 🙂

A special promotion is still going on here…DO NOT MISS!

Unexpected Beauty….

ImageI have been so busy lately with painting commissions and creating new work that I have neglected my photography. I always have my trusty Canon PowerShot with me everywhere I go (I am on my 5th one as I buy new models as they come out!). Snapping anything that catches my eye and delighting in the journey. Combing through the masses of photos, I found this gem the other day. I remember the day very well. I was on vacation with my husband and we stopped at an outlet mall. The buildings were typical and a bit run down. It was an older mall, but there was a store my husband wanted to go into. The weather was perfect so I decided to wait outside for him to do his shopping. I found this lovely little koi pond in the middle of the dirty grounds. I marveled at the fish and their fluid like movement when I spotted a lone lotus. A beacon of beauty…
