With the incredible success of my abstract guitars have come requests. Can you do a violin? A saxophone? A banjo? I created a beautiful violin two days ago and was inspired to keep going. The french horn is a work of art in and of itself. I love the circular patterns and detail. Music is as much an anchor in my life as artwork. I play tunes when I paint or create on the computer. Some days it might be rock and roll or country. 80’s music is also a favorite. But many days it is classical.  Just the sound of the musical instruments and nothing more…..

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. 🙂

Making Music

I’ve been making music again.

 Visual chords.

Playing hues.

Colorful explosions of eye candy.

My instruments do…

Make sound.

But only the soul can hear it.

A Good Surprise!!

Hello Sharon,

We now have your work on our walls. Congrats to us!

Lovely to have you as part of RB and hope you have a great holiday season. 

Martin (RB’s CEO) (Redbubble’s Jared holding my art)

Every artist is excited to see that they have sold a piece of artwork.  But it was especially rewarding to learn that out of the thousands and thousands (or as they say zillions) of images that RedBubble had to choose from that they picked one of mine for their new Headquarters in California.  And I got paid in FULL. 🙂  Sound the trumpets…that is cool as hell!!

Today is a “play day” which means I will not be spending hours in front of the computer. Instead I will be doing some things that I love to do like bike ride with my Hubby and creating just for fun.  I am putting a new piece over our fireplace. 🙂  Enjoy your day everyone!
