Colorful Palm Trees

The beach days are almost over here in Florida. It comes with mixed feelings. There is the joy of cool crisp air and a chance to be outside on the trails. But the damp cold of the sea is a bit too much. I will miss it. Until I return home…

“Colorful Sea Turtle”
New Art Mixed Media

I decided to give my 25 year old turtle drawing some real color. There is nothing wrong with trying to mimic nature in art, but I always find it a little boring. There is no cure for this color junkie. 😉 While I will use the following: graciously donated photos, public domain work or vintage images from time to time, I much prefer to work with my own photography and graphics. This little guy posed a real challenge to recreate him in my new “Color Fusion” series, but I think he can swim away now into the colorful sea!

“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!

As I was looking through my pen and ink drawings from 25 years ago, a little light bulb went off in my head. I’ve been working on my Color Fusion series for weeks now and combining those black and whites with my acrylic painting on fabric seemed to be a marriage made in heaven. I love color, so here I go!
First I took my ink drawing and scanned it on my Brother scanner.
Then I fused my new acrylic painting on fabric onto the design using my computer. I added some background texture from a crinkled piece of paper that I scanned.
Enjoy!

“Colorful Seahorse”
Mixed Media Art
Sharon Cummings
2014
I know today is all about 911 and that most people will be talking about that horrific event in American History. It is burned into my memory mainly because I had a little girl in kindergarten at the time and I can recall vividly rushing to her school with all of the other panicked moms. Hugging my Muslim friends who had removed their Hijabs out of fear of attack. It was indeed awful. Explaining that to a child was beyond comprehension.
So today I take you back to my kindergarten year and good memories that I hope will make you smile on this day. I grew up the first half of my childhood on Siesta Key, FL. We did not have an ocean view as we were not wealthy, but a very modest home on one of the side streets. Right next door was a fish market that would smoke mullet all day. When bored, I would wander over there and if I smiled cutely, they’d give me a sample of their fish. It was so yummy. But what I remember most is that they had this vertical fish tank in the corner of their store. It was filled with tropical fish and mainly seahorses. I was so intrigued by how they swam with such small fins. I would watch them for hours. One day I noticed one of the very “fat” seahorses was making jerking motions and much to my delight he was having babies!! I squealed with so much joy that all of the customers rushed over to look in the tank with me.
I remember the proprietor asking me if I wanted a little tank of my own with some of their seahorses to care for. I did, but then I thought about it and decided i didn’t. It was much more satisfying to sit and watch the fish over there and besides, I wouldn’t get free seafood goodies at home. 😉
