Title: "Winery"

Product Details: 24 X 36 ,Charcoal Pencils/ Acrylics

My Message: (This painting goes great with my last post) This is a custom painting I sold last year. The lady that requested it, showed me a painting she wanted me to do for her, at a local Target Store, of a winery scene. I'm not sure to whom the artist was. It was a lovely painting, however, it wasn't quite my taste. But by looking at it,  I kindof got the idea of what she wanted. She told me that she trusted me and to "do whatever I feel".... Ha, I usually take advantage of those four words.  She asked me to make it "sketchy" . So....with all her advise, I created my own picture of the painting she showed me. I added a lot of her personality: the type of wine she drank, her favorite color, and grapes that matched the theme of her kitchen. Even though my painting for her turned out nothing like the painting she showed me, she absolutely loved it! I visited her a couple of weeks ago, and the painting is still displayed in her kitchen. Just where I planned it to go. It matches her and her kitchen perfectly!! **makes me happy**

You must have a photgraphic memory. You take pictures with your mind and then paint it. You add your own ideas and feelings to it and of the person requesting it. That is a true artist. Luck to you and your future!

I am an uniquely creative blissed out inspiration, buzzing, beaming, and connecting in art and freedom, flowing in an abundance of magic expressions.
My purpose is to beam my love in painting until it hurts no less than no more.

Daily Quotes from: thinkexist.com


"Life offers us the opportunity to act on the basic human impulse to create. This incredible opportunity, whether it takes the form of a full time occupation or much loved unpaid labor, is not to be taken lightly. It is a gift, a grace, and because it is an unearned blessing we cannot tell what may come from our efforts to honor the process, what effects the work we do will have in our lives or the world.
That is not our business.
Our business is to honor the gift, do the work and give ourselves to it completely while keeping sight of our human fears about failure and fantasies about achievement."
-Oriah Mountain Dreamer
