Hello crazy people! I have been really busy this month! I just started a part-time job as a sassy cashier at my favorite joint Whole Foods. Love it! On top of ringing in organic produce, I'm a focused mom to my 2 year old and I occasionally paint canvases (wink wink). I also, try to sell my art, clean the house, do laundry and put it away (I hate that part), cook healthy meals, and have some kind of adult conversation with my husband. Oh yeah, I also am trying to get back into a regular work out regimen (my last blog). I guess I can sleep when I am old and I must be eating good because my jeans are still tight. Anyway, I'm a busy chick! On top of my chaos, I have been working really hard on finishing a special piece. My special paintings is titled "An Angel named Hope." The drumroll pppllllleeeeeeeeeaaaaaaassssssseeee!!!
ttttaaaaaaaaaa daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Here she is my beautiful angel of hope. Now this painting is out of the ordinary for me. It's different from my usual Buddha inspired, asian mixed media masterpieces (I'm being sarcastic). However, I think I may have pulled it off. Now, what's important is the underlying meaning behind this work of art. I have breast cancer on both sides of my families and I recently discovered a friend had gone through the whole ordeal at the tender age of 29. Yikes! Let's put it this way. My spiritual thoughts have been incorporated in every stroke of this painting. I don't think it is the best craftsmanship I have ever put out there, but the incredible feelings put forth into it make up for it. Enough of the sappy stuff. Let's talk about art!
The following picture is a detail of Hopes' pink sash. It has gold lettering that spell out HOPE and white and pink rhinestones. I have to add these to everything. I love rhinestones. One day, my husband is going to wake up with a bunch of rhinestones glued to his face. Hee Hee. Also, Hope's wings have the slightest bit of sparkle from the tiniest touch of glitter. Many thin layers of metallic paint and thick texture was applied in the background. I had fun painting this painting because I got to be very girlie. To all the women of the world..........Blessings!!
Oh before I go. I just want to tell ya that I will be accepting offers to buy this painting. Half the proceeds will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Also, it has been entered into a show at www.ebsqart.com in regards to Breast Cancer Awareness. Here's the link: http://www.ebsqart.com/ArtShows/sh_148.htm.
