This piece is painted on a 11×14 canvas panel that can be framed or be displayed on a table. It is painted with acrylic and oil colors. It is layered creating a texture.
Have you ever wondered what it means to commission a piece of art. Some people may think they could not afford to do so. All it means is that you asked an artist to create a piece of art that suits your space. It can be done to fit any budget. All you have to do is inform the artist of what style, color and size you are looking for. Once finished you will get a picture of the piece emailed to you for approval. If you want more of a certain color then you can advise the artist if you want less than that can be changed. The artist will work on it until you are satisfied. That’s it, you have just commissioned an original painting from an artist. Just think you owned an original painting from an artist whose art will go up in value as time goes on.
In my Etsy shop I list painting that I have previously sold as a commission piece. Like the one in the picture above. You like the style of this painting but you want it in different colors. You purchase the piece and I work on it for a week and send you a picture for approval. Once it is approved it’s shipped.
Buying art that suits you don’t have to be difficult or expensive. You have been wanting a piece of art for that space over your sofa for years and have never found what you are looking for. You can easily commission a piece. I even offer payment plans. Check out my shop and have a look around. Wish you the best of luck on finding the perfect piece that suits you.
Many people go through life not knowing or acknowledging what their purpose is. Did you know that everyone has a purpose that touches the hearts and minds of someone. For me it is my art. I know painting is what I was born to do. Through it I have touch lives in some form or fashion. Whether it’s donating a painting for a charity or inspiring someone to find their niche in life. Before I started painting I did all sorts of things. I made gift baskets, candles, home accents, and wrote poetry. I still write poetry but it does not inspire me like my art does.
I see other artist that inspire me to keep painting and sharing my work with the world. Is there someone who inspires you to find your purpose? What is it you like to do as a hobby? What are you good at? What are the things that really get your attention? Have you seen or tasted something and said I can make that?

This is the last day of the first month of my rejuvenation Journey. I have had many inspiring and fearful moments. I’ve been uplifted and torn down. I have been energized and weary. Through it all I have tried to see the forest through the trees. Some days I had to really push myself. Other days I had to slow down and take a step back and re-evaluate. Yesterday I was under the spell of defeat. Felt like I was in a trance, hypnotized. I could not move. I did not want to do anything! I prayed and was reminded of the sermon at church that morning to PRESS ON! It was at that very moment that I got the strength to do just that. I started moving around. I was lead to my storage closet and found paintings that I had done last year. I had not titled one of them yet nor shown it. Well here it is “HYPNOTIZED”
In my Etsy Shop I am determined to reach a goal of 50 items by May 30th 2012. I am currently at 21. Here are a few pieces I added today.
Cohesive Souls #6 Series
Influential Destiny #1 ACEO Series
I am excited to introduce my new line of The Art of inspiration note cards. This is my opportunity to combine my love for painting and poetry. The great part about this endeavor is that my customers also get to choose pieces of my artwork to be made into a notecards and create the message they want in the card. You can personalize it. All you have to do is choose a piece of my artwork by the titled listed in the description in myEtsy Shop and contact me giving me the message the message you want. You can order as many as you want. I will email you an invoice to make your payment through Paypal and mail you out the cards. This is a great little gift to give someone who needs some encouraging words or just to say thank you especially if they are art lovers. Is there someone you want to inspire? If so, what would you say to them?
Spirits In the Field
This post comes in late today. I almost did not post today but I am determined to push myself as I have stated in my previous post. I am usually sleep during this hour. Its almost 11:00pm. During my rejuvenation journey there is another path I am taking, it is making a routine and sticking to it. As I now see if I want to be successful on this journey I am going to have more of these late nights.
What inspired me tonight to push myself is John. John is not my husband or boyfriend he is John Coltrane. Jazz music, John’s in particular, just gets me moving. It does wonders for me when I am painting. As I listen and write this post I see that it gives me that same feeling I get when I have a brush in my hand. I get a burst of energy. I would like to share this with you in hopes that it does the same for you. You tell me how John makes you feel. Enjoy!
