“Nature’s Chorus”
New Mixed Media Art Painting Based On Old Pen
And Ink Drawings From 25 Years Ago
Sharon Cummings
2014
I am still reincarnating some of my older work into newer pieces. It’s so much fun to see these old renderings transformed into a brand new piece of art. When I was sitting hunched over my drafting table all of those years ago painstakingly drawing lines, I had no idea that someday there were be a computer program that would allow me to colorize them using my original paintings. Really technology rocks!

“Flamingo”
Art created with
Pantone Markers and Prismacolor Colored Pencils
Sharon Bratcher Cummings
1993
I’ve always thought flamingos looked a bit like aliens. Their red eyes and long necks pose quite a striking figure. And those pink feathers! Does it get any stranger?

With the recent passing of Maya Angelou, I was inspired to go through my books and find a few of hers for a reread. A favorite is “I know Why The Caged Bird Sings.” It has been said that a caged bird sings because it wants freedom. I’ve had a bird and he sang whenever he was in his cage, but he also sang when he was freely moving around my home. He sang on my shoulder as he nuzzled my ear. He sang when he was having his bath. He even sang when he was eating. In fact, the only time he didn’t sing was at night when I would cloak his cage in darkness. Only then did all go quiet. I believe we are all like birds. We sing because we must. Whatever your song is be it art, music, writing, cleaning, building things, dancing, speaking, etc. it is something that you MUST do. A deep yearning within that moves you without thought. I do not ask myself why I create art. I simply do it.
Rest In Peace Maya…

I got a call on Friday while my husband and I were on a photo shoot in St. Petersburg, Florida. We were capturing images of the beautiful birds that call our state home. Pelicans and blue herons mostly. The call was timely as it came from one of my licensing agents who had just completed a trade show in Atlanta, Georgia. Her voice was hoarse and weak from all of the talking she had to endure, but she couldn’t wait to give me the news. They had taken a handful of my animal pieces for display and got a tremendous response from buying agents for zoos, aquariums and museums from around the country. I was specifically excited to hear that the San Diego Zoo was interested in my work! More animals she says…….and that is exactly what I was working on! Serendipity is definitely “for the birds”. 🙂
