JOY PARTY

 This beautiful 16 in X 16 in painting was such a JOY to create!

As a kid growing up around flowers and gardens it became my JOY!

Thus it is no surprise when I sit down to create that flowers and leaves and stems all show up for the JOY PARTY!

The colors alone exude joy! The word "JOY" set among a teardrop shape outline says there is always joy amidst tears, always.

Yes, sometimes it is in hindsight after time has gone by, but it is there.

Imagine this lovely painting on YOUR wall and the FEELING it will produce in you daily! (okay I am keeping it haha).

You can purchase it here for $225. plus shipping or click on the painting.

Have a very joy-filled day!

                                           "Allegory of Love"

What a journey this has been! It is amazing what is revealed to us in a painting! Incredible!! It can be about ourselves or about others. Things open up and reveal themselves as the painting unfolds and we see our own personality and relationships with others too.

Colors often reveal a lot and I know some folks end up with a lot of dark colors. Mine are full of love and joy and are peaceful! You might call these symbols but really they are snippets of me and my world. 

The bird Hahaha I spend a lot of time around birds here at the lake and love them so much! I will admit that I have never seen a pink one with funny legs standing on a heart! I just love it so much!

Find the love, count the hearts! Oh my! Do you see sweet caregiving? How about the music? Anchoring? A bird flying free under the moon? Fish? A cat? A dancer or two? Flowers? Love and more love!

I hope you enjoy viewing this as much as I did in creating it. It was a lengthy process and a beautiful one!

LISA'S PAINTING

For now, this is called Lisa's "Painting." Last night it was mine and last night I asked her if she wanted it as my gift to her. She said "YES!"

This painting is so near to my heart for so many reasons. I often paint water, hearts, stars, and flowers. Most often I add bees.

This one has an added bonus of a bottle with stars pouring out! It will have an added gem, a message inside! Ah! How fun!

I think I will also create a real message that goes with the painting!

It is not done but will be soon! How exciting for both of us!

Stay tuned for the final look! <3 <3 <3

"Home"

Home!

Yes! This painting was after I "got home" from a little side trip! Well, you see, if you read my post on avoidance you saw I took a little side trip into abstract! The funny thing is, like often happens, I found my way home!

Not only that but found myself in a better place than before I left! Yes! Adding some new techniques to my repertoire has been such a joy and a blessing. To combine the two, abstract and realism has been so fun! Getting back to my "flower garden" has been too.

This one, created in alcohol inks and acrylics really made such a great combination to then highlight in white. Oh yes, there was a challenge when I began but as always, it all works out~the metaphor for life.

Learning to honor the process and stand in the knowledge that it will all be great if I want has been learning but I am quick to stop that shop talk when it begins! Hooray!

I hope you love it too!

If you would love to own it you can purchase it here.

Or click the painting if you literally want to grab it up!

It is $ 288. plus shipping

"LYME IN THE CO - CO NUT"

Hello, honey bunnies! This gal mustered up some energy today to paint. Strange? Yes, you might think that knowing me as you do!

But it’s true at the zoo!

When it comes to painting it doesn’t usually call for me to muster up or have energy! I don’t need to possess creativity or wait for inspiration!

Okay so back up a bit, my energy is lagging. It’s a good thing given the alternatives!

You see, once again, I’ve been bitten and not smitten and it was not love at first sight or bite. It was an ugly tick who got me!

I wasn’t in love with the idea of having Lyme disease again ( yep) but I AM in love with healing.

No worries at all! I’m in good hands right now.... God’s, mine, some special family members, and my amazing friends!

I won’t be wiped out this time! I got it early

and began my high-power protocol! Zap and boom it will be gone!

So back to my painting (you see below).

I wasn’t inspired nor had a plan. Technique? Nope! I just showed up to play like a child!

This is what happened. Is it done? I don’t know. What is it? I don’t know! I did feel a twinge to call it Lyme. That spoke to me.

Some twist on that title will arrive if it wants to.

I’m excited to watch it transform as it dries and see where it wants to go next.

This uncharted path I took to create this was wonderful and it’s repeatable of sorts, a million times with so many different colors and that many beautiful outcomes!

No rules or techniques remember?

I’ve been inviting some here to come to play, and some to catch me up on your life!

If you'd love it I would too. Just ask!

I’ll keep you posted on what happens with this baby!

P.s. are you waiting to muster creativity or inspiration? Wait for no mo!

 COMING SOON

IT'S AN ART PARTY!

Really? Yes! Painting is awesome and while it is great to paint with myself, it is also wonderful to bring others on board who want to learn to paint. 

Right now though it will be "tea for two."

Yes, I am looking for one person to come under my mentorship to enjoy painting, practice, and get a feel for the way art goes. The freedom you will experience in disappearing the idea that " I am not good enough" to be an artist is mind-blowing.

I am interviewing right now to see who would be a great fit to work with me in redefining art for you and enjoying the artistic process.

You will come out of it with paintings that you love and can send to friends as gifts or put up in your own living room? Yes!

No worries about supplies as they are easily accessible online and shipped to your home, no in-person stuff required. Yes, we meet on zoom so we are together but not worried about germs.

Note; I mentor you in creating art YOUR WAY!

If this is you just message me and we can talk! How cool is this? YAY!

Much love and happy creating!

Bette
