IT'S ALL ABOUT MY MAMA

                                             

If any of you have been around me for like 5 minutes..hahaha..you KNOW my Mama is my heart! Many years ago I painted a mural (border) in her dining room! When I was visiting her for a couple weeks in the summer, while I did my art shows, I decided to paint her a floorcloth! 

As it has been with all the floorcloths I have painted, to the best of my knowledge, no one ever put them on the floor. Mom left it rolled up in the closet for safekeeping. You guessed it; "That is just too pretty to walk on." Okay, you can do it your way.

Well, when she died my family asked if I wanted it and of course I said YES! Yes, it is on the floor here.

This is indicative of the work I did back then and still do, although I have taken a fancy to abstract (these few weeks) and am excited to create some "long-form" art.

Yes, I create commissioned art! I love creating these floorcloths and if this is what you fancy, just ask! I have created so many with so many themes so it is your pick! Ask me your topic/choice/theme and we can discuss it.

 Love Lives here!

Ah, hearts have always been my love and I see them everywhere. When I paint them it is even better. You see, when love lives here, deep inside my own heart, it is easy to see love everywhere. Do hearts magically appear in front of me? No. 

Because I am aware and alert to where hearts are: in nature, in art, and life in general, then I see them. Because I am a collector of hearts, in people and in life, they show up! People send me hearts, buy hearts for me, and otherwise share their hearts with me.

This is why I paint them too! It adds to the love in the world as well as in my own heart. I love my "heartpourings" whether in word or artwork.

I hope you do too!

Much Love,

Artist, Bette
