Something about turtles that make me smile. We’ve got one that wonders our property. I am like a giddy kid when I see him. 😉

“Colorful Sea Turtle”
New Art Mixed Media
Sharon Cummings
2014
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!

When I first started selling my art, I remember being very insecure. It felt so vulnerable and raw to list a painting for sale. The fear of rejection was high. The thought of complete failure was ever present. But I decided it was worthwhile to pursue my dreams even if no one ever bought a single piece. Fortunately for me I got my art online when it was all new to everyone. There wasn’t a whole lot of competition and sales came easily. That was a relief! But what I found was that each and every listing still felt dicey. I was always “sticking my neck out”. You would think that with 10 plus solid years of consistent sales that those feelings would fade. That as an artist I would have complete confidence in my work. That every piece would feel like a winner. It isn’t so. To this day, every time I list new work I am waiting to exhale….
