Oh my.. I've been neglecting my blog again!!!
It's been a few months already.. I am going to have to start marking it on a to do list or something!!! Lets see, I've only finished one painting since my last blog.. but I'm well on my way to another finished piece.
I've been really pre-occupied with a few projects, I was working on greeting cards with my friend Kelliena, she is a talented psychic from Halifax, NS.. we have come up with some greeting cards featuring my art and her readings/sentiments inside. They are beautiful, and I hand embellish each card with iridescent paint. They are available on my website, as well as a shop in NS called "Sarah's Spiritual Treasures" in Lower Sackville. (She also has a few of my necklaces available too).
I've also been quite distracted by my favorite band.. they're coming to Edmonton!!! The name of the band is HIM... they're from Finland, they sing their own special brand of music they call "love metal"... I've been addicted to their music for the past few years, and they also just had a new album come out.. I've had it playing non stop since it came out Tuesday.. LOL.. it's playing right now!!! I always have music playing while I'm painting, I find it helps me relax into the painting, I'm not thinking so hard about each brushstroke, my hands just move, and the paint goes where its supposed to... sometimes I find painting is like a sort of meditation for me. I think everyone has a source for their inspiration, mine comes from music and nature.
I'm contemplating putting up a work in progress picture of the one I'm working on now.. but maybe I'll wait, I'm so close to finishing... well here is the last painting I did.. it's called "Mermaid of Hope's Reef".. I was craving something colorful.. the dead of winter will often do that to a person I guess!
Happy Valentines All!!!!!!
