Glitter and things

My Thoughts, painting

Bubble Trial 1Rainbows, Bubbles, Glitter, and Flowers are some of my favorite things in life. Yes, these things are usually loved by children and really girly girls and I’m not quite either of those, although I am convinced I may be like 5-year-old trapped in a 30-year-old body. Regardless, I was thinking about just keeping my art simple, only using flower petals. I believe (possibly wrongly) that a lot of others do not share my love for the overly colorful and shiny, that others view it as gaudy and/or childish. So my plan was to keep my paintings simple, toned down, and “safe” in a way. But I realized that just isn’t me. With my usual bright red hair, fun furry-fuzzy boots, and big colorful earrings, I tend to stand out and I think my art should be just as loud and unique. People are gonna like what they like and hate what they hate, no point in trying to please everyone, it’s just not gonna happen. And therefore I’ve decided to be my unique self and if I never sell a painting, at least I get to be me!

Be Authentic. Be Unique. Be You.

The Journey Begins

My Thoughts, painting

Rose Petal Painting 1.0Thanks for joining me!

I’m not quite sure what I’m doing… for the past month I’ve been into painting. Alright, yeah, doesn’t sound that bad, nothing wrong with painting, nice colorful hobby! But that’s the problem, it’s not just a hobby for me, I’ve been researching ways to start getting my artwork into galleries, how to create my own website, who my contacts are, even picking out my domain name and creating a new email address specifically for my artist alter ego.

Uh, please keep in mind that during all this research, reading, note taking, and searching, I wasn’t doing much of anything else during my free-time. And that includes, painting. So yeah, all this time and effort into how to sell and become a famous artist when I actually couldn’t really call myself an artist since there was no actual art going on. Hopefully, you are just as “WTF?” as I’ve been lately.

I’m just going to assume that this is all a bit wacky simply because it all started with a dream. And no, not the, “I had a dream…” kind of dream, but one of those strange movies your subconscious puts together when you sleep and then you wake and realize that your subconscious really enjoys messing with you… 

Be Authentic. Be Unique. Be You.
