Flowers and vase

The artist have to grow, mature with the art, and has to become a poet an observer of all things. Gazing, analyzing then striking with the brush, an hunter of quiet… and beauty.

So much that we can say about our brush strokes that goes in to the canvas like single phrases of pure poetry, the music, the love, enchanting laughs of mistakes and no no’s, but we continue… for the Art and for our sake and so forth. But what are we really portraying? This might not be as pretty as it looks, to understand a painting or artwork can take an entire different meaning for us. I thought it was fair to explain this painting because it is about time. It is important to do this and it will be easier for the viewer, gives more value and heaviness to your paintings as well.

A resent visit, told me that it was amazing once the painting was explained to them, this was in the case of the artwork titled conception in which it is representing Cycle of Life, when I told them the flower is pregnant, if you look closer… and point out… it is carrying a fetus, the artwork became serious, and enticing to them, I felt it was my responsibility to give them the (representational) meaning. The artwork has many other connections, but after that, became something to appreciate more and admire.

New Artwork on Hot Press Watercolor Paper.

Now about New Artwork, we must also understand that is still early we are also finding our selves in a painting, I am in the mode of stepping back and asking, what is the next step?~ The next step can take weeks or perhaps minutes, don’t precisely know this, but so far will explain some of it as much as I can.

The black background on the right, since I am a right sided painter it means mystery, death, the subtle, unknown, creativity itself, but if you look the entire painting can be read from right to left as well . The black sugar cup, jar or bowl it also represents the same, sort of like a box of Pandora. you can see it is not opened. All of my works are representing of something… that is going on around, I also include other things : For example , War, famines, disloyalty, Jealousy, etc…that you can tell by my obvious use of colors and the disconnected patterns.

But since despite what is going on… I know there’s still good and beauty that is how the entire picture connects. Making a strong statement about your Art should be important to you. In my case, must important is the skill, that endurance, trial and error, that we must go trough, regardless if the artwork it is liken by us others or not. The purpose also of giving a chance to elevate the medium value~ which is Watercolors.

Art, Music, Stories… and Encouragement

A simple Story…

A friend of mine whom I’ve known since we where in high school, now a proud mom of 2 girls and an excellent Baker, Told me a simple story about her then 2 years old daughter. While one of her cakes was cooling off’ the little girl stuck the finger in the frosting. Mom asked, what are you doing? The little Girl answered: I want to, I had to, I had to! Licking her fingers off, With such proudness, You know the first reaction you get when a child does that...

Continuing on that thought, and I know it comes from a 2 year old, but if we get that same attitude when it comes to what We have to do. It shows a bit of a rebellious attitude, but must importantly determination. Always asking and why not? The lesson is, being determined, taking action, commit to it, and learning. You like Art? You want to do it?, Now, you have taking all the steps to pursue it, You see how everything just “simply connects”.… Yet, you have put it a side, thinking is not your call, because concerns… and perhaps afraid to take a leap.

Not everyone, of course is all “crazy” and jumps head first, like some one “I know very well” and yes, it is not easy. But nothing that is good for you, is easy to do, good things take time, sometimes longer than we wanted to, patience is key, and it is also how we learn, looking ten years back on my own experience I had all the excuses…one of them? being a young mom, with three small children, even so, couldn’t be more clear in my face everything I liked to do, had to do with Creating. Hours ends… sharpening pencils, long nights with out sleep… sketching everyday”

“Imagine the face of my mentor and whom I owe an big apology. After a year or more… I said, wanting to be a “Hairdresser” because it was a “safer way to gain income” wile One Day, prior to do an extravagant Hair cut with layers and different mix of colors, on that same moment… I took my sketch book out… and sketched that Hair Cut, looked at the page and my heart saddened… saying to self, Mary.., what is this that you are doing?

Now in a “survival” mode and determined. Exactly September 11, 2009, made a commitment To change my view towards what was art…and artists. Determined first to Change, and now, doing everything possible in my power to sustain that. Not only My self but those whom are pursuing this carrier, and know very well how hard it is. So If you like what you are doing, you have what it takes to continue, and it is possible for you, Just Do it! Why? Because you had to!, You Have to!, You Want to!. It is such determination that brings you forth and strong.

Recently told a friend of mine, well… The Blog has recipes that is one of my favorite hobbies, and Gardening blessed with a super green thumb!, then again, all relates to working with hands, and it is used to unclogged, it is repetition that makes your mind and inspiration flow. So the Blog wouldn’t stop being what it is, actually, want that to be seen purposely, because it is How we learn and Yes, Change is good. But now, to give importance to the Main course, which is Art, and whom I am, an Artist and to those whom are doing the same, my friends.

The two would meet again in the future, nevertheless in what would be called my “First” Real Show, where ought to have the best mignon wrapped in bacon that you would ever taste. and yes, there will be vegan food too. But in my case in my first. I wasn’t ready and it wasn’t the time. Hope this experience helps you realize something, and give you a different attitude a positive one. Because Giving is the must rewarding Gift, here are this words to you.
