2014

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. 😉

“Little Angels”

Angel Fish Art

Pen and Ink on Illustration Board

Sharon Cummings

1993

BWFishClose

I am still digging around through my old portfolio.  I found these little angels swimming in the ocean of boards and papers.  They looked so crisp and clean until I scanned them and saw the close ups.  You can see the irregularities in the amount of ink applied to different areas.  There is also an ink “bleed” on the lines.  I am sure I was quite pleased back then, but with the perfectionism of the computer age, this would not fly now. 😉

Crayon and Letraset Transfers

Date: Unknown

FunkyFishClose

As I continue to go through my old portfolio, I am finding a few surprises along the way.  I found this guy hiding among the rubble.  He is clearly created with Crayons, and for those old enough to remember, Letraset transfers.

Long ago before the advent of home computers, there was a need for an easy way to apply perfect typography and texture to images.  Letraset made these plastic sheets with transfers on one side.  You then applied pressure with a tool, spoon, etc. on the other and it would stick to the surface of your project.  Back then, I thought it was the coolest thing ever!!

letraset1

What a flashback….I should find my box of crayons. 😉

This will be my last Stone Rock’d fish for a long while!  Aren’t you glad?  It’s been awfully fishy around this blog and I’ve got a hankering to get my hands wet again in some acrylic paint.  This project has been fun and time consuming, but I’ve got some killer fish for my clients and for the rest of the World to enjoy too. 🙂

Happy Sunday everyone!

Flowers & Fish (They’re Connected!)

I am still working on fish and flowers.  Ever since 5th grade Science class, we all learned that everything is connected in the ecosystem.  We also know that rain makes flowers grow.  But did you know that fish also make them thrive?

According to a study by University of Florida’s ecologist Robert Holt, fish are integral in the life cycle of flowers.  It all starts around the pond where bees pollinate nearby flowers.  Dragonflies prey on bees and you guessed it:  Fish eat the dragonflies.  So less fish means more dragonflies which means less bees.  Less bees equals less pollination.  Without pollination the flowers do not survive.   

So, while fish don’t actually pollinate flowers, they have a strong indirect influence in this environment. This doesn’t mean that fish in general influence the flower population worldwide, but it does suggest that waterside plants in certain ecosystems could be affected by a drop (or rise) in the fish population. 

Very cool!

Not only have we been getting these little showers here in Florida, custom commission work has been pouring in as well. 🙂  As you can see below, I am still working hard on my fish for the big hotel project in Key West.  I am also creating special pieces for my collectors.  I spoke with a woman last night who lives in Hawaii.  She is commissioning a very sentimental piece to hang in her home that she shares with her partner. They are commemorating their lives together so far.  And my piece will signify their prayers that they would find each other before they met.  As always I am honored to be a part of so many people’s lives in such an intimate way.  And also grateful just to add beauty to the World.

Something FISHY Goin On….

Some of you might have noticed that I have not blogged about any new work lately and that I have been bringing back some older blogs that never got much attention.  The reason for both are two-fold.  First of all I am working on a bunch of new Stone Rock’d tropical fish for a HUGE hotel project in Key West, FL.  And secondly, when I first started my blog, I blogged about my most popular paintings at the time.  But with only 2 followers, no one ever saw them.  So I am giving all of my newest followers a chance to see these works too.

The piece above is titled “Tropical Fish 12” and is one of the many I have created that I am totally satisfied with.  I will be submitting it to the design firm with a few others in a few days.  I already know that the client loves my first piece as it has been paid for and is in production.  I am really excited about this project and know that they will love more of my work.  So busy I stay….

Swim along and see more below.

A lot of people are looking for art online these days.  And it is currently a great place to find it too!  There are so many talented artists who represent themselves which enables them to offer pricing far below gallery.  I’ve been fishing lately too.  In the past 10 plus years I have created a lot of work.  And I recently rediscovered two tropical fish that I painted years ago.  What a catch!  Going through the many years worth of work is really interesting and fun.

Enjoy these fishy friends. 🙂
