Be Original – My Instagram Roundup

May 20, 2019 Leave a Comment

As usual, when I looked through my Instagram posts over the past few weeks, I saw a theme. This time: originality. This is a heavy subject if you really want to get into it. I’ll probably write more about it at some point, because I’m dealing with some unpleasantness in regards to someone who thinks churning out bad copies of my art is acceptable. It isn’t.

I’ve been painting for 50 years. I developed a style that reflects what is in my heart and soul. I use colors and composition to wrap up the message that my art will provide. When I teach classes, I do so to allow people to see new techniques, to let go and have fun, and to develop their own styles. But some people don’t do that. And that is all I will say right now.

Instead, enjoy this Instagram Roundup, which pays honor to creativity.

Our first project in Mixed Media Faces is fun but simple one. We use just three colors plus black and white to create an entire face. I'm a firm believer in the fact that you don't need expensive art supplies to create and find your style. ??????????? No painting experience is necessary for this course! It's online, self-paced, and something you can do at your own speed, in the privacy of your home. Join us! ??????????? https://ift.tt/2Nea5aw

Picked up some #Senneleir oil pastels at Blick over the weekend, and I couldn’t resist getting into them last night. I had a day where I really needed the comfort of art, just the playfulness and joy that comes from experimenting and doing different things with pigment and texture.

The world needs YOUR art, not a shoddy copy of another artist. Develop your own artistic voice. Learn what you want to say as an artist. Learn what makes you unique. Is it your take on a specific medium? Is it a way for you express what is uniquely in your soul? Social media makes it easy for us to get inspired, but the real way to develop your own style as an artist is to put away what you see, what you've been taught, and develop your own way of painting, your own subject matter, your own feel, your own art.

The Space Between Dreaming is a moving novel written with warmth and heart and which contains valuable wisdom. I loved that the work tackles difficult topics about childlessness, childhood trauma, and betrayal by friends with sensitivity. It tenderly captures the social and emotional toll of being childless. I loved the main characters and found them to be realistic and engaging. The work masterfully explores the themes of friendships and relationships, drawing important lessons that can be applied in real life. The inclusion of art and the process of painting also enhance the story. Cherie Burbach's unforgettable novel will resonate with readers for its applicable themes and compelling characters. Fans of women's novels will love it.

Cherie Burbach's writing is surprisingly vivid, this being her debut attempt. She can take you inside the character's mind within a span of words, all the things they're struggling with put bare before you. The prose isn't flowery, but gentle enough to nudge you into relating your traumas too, and heal as the characters do.

Loved learning more about art, and the community surrounding the people in the book. Couldn't wait for the next chapter and following the women in this story. I am hoping the author has a second book in mind, to continue the journey of Jane and Grace. I would recommend this to book clubs, so they could meet and discuss what they read and what they think will happen next.

A beautifully written story about the lives of two very interesting women who come together and form a life long bond. I love how this book is written. I found myself placed in the story like I was an innocent bystander watching each moment unfold and learning more about art than I ever thought possible. As the book ended, I found myself wanting more. My hope is that there is a 2nd book in the works so I can continue watching the friendships unfold and the lives of the main characters continue to grow!
