Art is the only thing I have ever really wanted to do. Being an artist has been my dream from the very beginning. I have never wanted to get rich from my artwork. Instead, I want to be able to make enough to be able to give it away. I believe art brings people together. It heals, it brightens the world. Case Art isn't just another art store, it is my way of helping others through art.
More often than not, a painting won't turn out to be anywhere close to what I had hoped it to be. It can be incredibly discouraging. Today's painting is one of those pieces I am discouraged with. Most of the time I can let it roll off my back and move on. Take the lessons learned and make the necessary adjustments. But the last couple of days have been different. It has been harder to bounce back. These failures are not how I wanted to start my new year. I feel like I poured everything into preparing for my solo show and now I am just artistically exhausted. I am sharing these feelings because I want you to know it is okay. It is okay to have multiple days in a row that hard. Everyone has them. Just because their lives seem so shiny and glamourous, doesn't mean they are. This painting will dry and will be painted over, and that foundation will give strength to the next masterpiece.
But you all believed in me more than I believed in myself. I see beauty in this piece now, because you saw beauty in me. Thank you.
Beauty in the Unexpected is 16 x 12 inches, oil on stretched canvas. It is gallery wrapped and ready to hang.
No matter where life takes me, I vow to never stop using my art to help others. The talents we are given are meant to be cultivated and to be used to improve the lives of our fellow humans. It is a greater gift to give of these talents than it is to use them simply for personal gain.
She painted “Fire In The Sky” for me from a photo I took…. It’s amazing, and I’ll probably have another done.
My house is filled with her art! She’s done a commission of my precious dog and I find myself staring at it every day. She captured his personality and everything! I also buy her prints too and frame them. They definitely add to the aesthetic of my home! Her talent goes beyond measure!
I have bought several pieces from her over the years. Always very impressed with her Talent and amazing works of art she’s produces. Each one expresses the natural beauty of world around us.
Thoughtful and Beautiful art. The artist can capture your very idea and present it on canvas.
