KEEP YOUR HEAD UP

Whatever is on your heart will show up in your art. Thinking about everyone who has been effected by hurricanes and other natural disasters over the last few weeks. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

HEART AND SOUL

I believe that the world would be a totally different place if we could learn to see beyond the obvious. If you look deep enough, see hearts and souls, you'll realize that we are all the same.  Peace and blessings

SWEET INSPIRATION

WORKS ON PAPER

Hello everyone!  I hope that everyone is having a great productive week.  I've been able to keep myself busy here in the studio with a few creative projects.  In addition to the larger paintings that are in progress, I've been working on smaller paintings on paper.  Working on paper has given me the opportunity to play around.  I've been experimenting with my Neocolor  crayons, gelatos and oil pastels.

 I'm also working on adding more collage elements to my paintings.  

Here is the finished piece.  It's entitled "Connected".  I added glitter to their gowns and headpieces for sparkle.

This is a detailed look at another painting that I finished this week.  I love how her skin looks, very layered and textured. I used some collage papers on her as well. It makes for some very interesting contrast and depth.  I've incorporated lots of glitter on this piece as well.  I love glitter!

And, here is the finished piece!   

What have you created this week?  I'd love to hear all about it.  

Have a great day,

Sharon

LIFE BOOK 2018 BLOG HOP AND GIVEAWAY

Hello everyone!


I have some wonderful & exciting news! I am going to be teaching on Life Book 2018  next year! I am thrilled and honored to be apart of this amazing course!

And even MORE exciting news is that I can give away 1 space on this amazing year long art course! Keep reading to find out more about Life Book 2018  and to find out how you can win a spot! 

First let me tell you a bit more about Life Book in case you haven't heard about it yet!
“Life Book, a celebration and honouring of YOU” is a year-long mixed media art class
organized by Tamara Laporte from Willowing Arts.

Tam is joined by 23 incredible art teachers who are all gearing up to share their mixed media techniques, tips and tricks with YOU! PLUS this year, Life Book is going to be bigger and better by including another 12 fantastic artists and wellness guides who will focus on additional personal development practices and other art modalities, like sculpting, photography & writing!

Themed around self-development and healing, you’ll be creating several loose mixed media art journal pages per month which by the end of the year you will bind into a glorious journal (a Life Book)! You will have a wonderful keepsake that you can treasure for the rest of your life! You will also be introduced to yoga, aromatherapy, dance and angel energy and other wellness exercises to help support your personal development journey more holistically and imagine the fun we will have getting introduced to and acquainted with some of the other wonderful art forms out there!

You can find out a lot more about this wildly popular course (it has been joined by over 16500+ people in the past!) by clicking HERE 

 I haven't fully developed my class idea yet, but I'm excited to be sharing how I build an underpainting and use the mixed media art technique of "abstraction" to create a painting.  Here are some examples of my work.

Registration opens on September 12th 2017 and the class begins on January 1st 2018.
So if you want to start the year with a fabulous creative BANG and spend 2018 with a wonderful creative community of like-minded souls, learning more about art and how to be kinder and more loving towards yourself, be sure to join once registration opens!  Keep this page bookmarked so that you can sign up the moment it goes on sale!
