Life! Art! Business! Desert Surprise!

What does all that mean?  Life, if you look for the miracles that exist in life.  Guess what, you see them.  Creating ART to me is a miracle.  Where do I get the energy, time and inspiration to take this, that, and the other and make something of beauty, that gives me joy!  That is a miracle!  

Desert Surprise!  I live in the desert.  We have highways that go on and on, flat, with mountains so far, far away you can barely see them.  When the highway runs close to a group of mountains it is a wonderful surprise!  How does all this relate to art and Business?   

You can be running flat...same old, same old, and then out of the blue!  Surprise!!!  All of your hard work comes to fruition. Hang in there!  Your time is coming!

This image below is called "Desert Surprise" it was created in the Oil Pastel Smudge technique I invented.  I recently checked my Oil Pastel Smudge FaceBook page and see I have 2.4K followers. To you it might not be a lot, to me it is amazing!  It has been a long time coming.  I post on the page every so often and WOW!  I'm reaching that many people.  Technology is wonderful! Embrace it!  

Don't ever give up on your Dreams!

The #12...under the menu of Preparing for Events, Shows & Galleries...let me add Licensing your images too!

The #12 of any medium, subject matter or similarities will make you close to an expert in that particular category.  To show you what I mean I have created a 12 month 2021 Calendar of Inspiration. 12 images in the same medium and similar subject matter.  I have researched the medium, and came up with a specific theme and this is the final outcome.  Think about making a calendar with each idea you wish to bring into fruition.   Think 12 months.  Think of seasons, holidays, colors and feelings.  You get your 12 and you have a product! My particular product is a calendar!  Happy Inspiration and Happy Creating!

I have been somewhat out of sync lately and I am sure you have too!

So what I have been doing with my time is developing a new line of imagery, one of those that has been on the back burner for a long time.  I have always enjoyed working with mandalas, sacred geometry and color.  Drawing by had relaxes me.  I can take my supplies into any room in the house and work on a clip board.   Then I transfer it to the computer and make the magic happen.  I am hoping you find your relaxation and release during these challenging times, plus create something new!  Stay Safe, Stay Home, Stay Creative!

I will be sharing my new line of images soon!  The body of work is happening, and   I am pleased with how things are developing.  Stay positive!  Stay tuned!  CREATE!

I enjoy TEACHING, getting paid for what I LOVE to share. TEACHING is the "Service" side of my business! Michaels Crafts put out a notice to offer classes in my community, I jumped in on the opportunity.   My suggestion...TEACH everywhere you can!  Get out there and show everyone what you love & can do!  It's both fun and rewarding!

Creating these cute colorful Owls and teaching how to do so, has really paid off well. I have linked to the Michael's site "Community Classroom" for you to find out more information on possibly teaching yourself and to register for class . Many thanks to Michaels Craft Store!

    I consider myself to be an Artist/Designer first,
    as creating
    is my passion.
     
    An Arts Educator, because 
    I love to share the experience in creating
    beautiful art.
     I have found though teaching and sharing with others I learn myself.

    I hope to encourage all Artists / Creatives to be successful though sharing art and business experiences so we may grow together through  knowledge and understanding.

    I am an Arts Business owner because
    ​I know what I have to offer is of value.

    ​I believe there is enough room in this world for all of us to be successful in the area that we are passionate about.
