Music Nouveau - Guest Heart Thursday

My heart has been singing since Sissy came home from the hospital.  I doodled this "Art Nouveau" styled 2.5x2.5 inch ACEO/ATC to celebrate Clytie's homecoming and Guest Heart Thursday!  Such a wonderful lovely happy day!

For more heart art, photography and altogether fabulous heart stuff from around the world, visit Clytie at Random Hearts for Guest Heart Thursday!

Sissy Clytie is Home!

This is a commissioned piece I've been working on.  It is a picture of how I see Psalm 91.  These verses show us that The Creator's shadow overshadows our life's shadows.   I couldn't get the camera to do the graphite drawing justice--so when I'm done adding pen and ink, along with color, I'll put it up for you.

I am posting this drawing in celebration of my darling Sister Clytie's release from the hospital.

God was protecting her! As you were Praying for Clytie, the emergency room doctor got a bee in his bonnet.  Though the tests had come back with inconclusive results -- normal or just a tiny bit high, that wonderful doctor was convinced there was a blockage -- he would not give up looking.  Amazing, amazing!  He even asked for two-year old data in order to find the problem.  Because of this doctor's dogged persistence Sissy is going to be just fine.

Clytie had an angiogram yesterday morning, during which the actual blockage was discovered.  They cleared the vein, and put in a stent.  I spent yesterday afternoon with Clytie in the hospital and had the huge pleasure of picking her up and bringing her home this morning.

THANK YOU everyone for your thoughts and prayers.  I know there was an angel hanging over that doctor's shoulder, telling him to look further, when the tests said something completely different than the truth.

You can visit Clytie to welcome her home, at Random Hearts.  She tells me she can hardly wait to go walking!!!

Sissy Clytie Rushed to Hospital

I am letting everyone know that my sweet little sis Clytie was rushed to emergency this morning.  She was in tremendous pain.  This is the second time she's gone into emergency over the past few weeks.  Turns out what the doctors from local urgent care thought might be acid reflux disease--is in reality a blockage in her heart.   

I spoke with Sissy about an hour ago and she is feeling MUCH better.  She says they will be doing an angiogram tomorrow to find out where the blockage is.  After that, they are talking about putting a stent in.  Looks like she will be in the hospital for a few days until they figure out what's going on.

I would appreciate your prayers for Sissy's complete recovery.  She is heart of my heart--and the world would be a terribly dull place without her in it.  She's not only one of my own best friends, she is beloved to many people out there.

I will keep you updated here and on facebook.  Please drop by her blog and leave a note of encouragement for her.  You can visit her at Random Hearts.

Art Nouveau Roses - Guest Heart Thursday

 

Last night I was doodling--here are the results!  Three 3.5x2.5 inch ACEO/ATC cards.  The first was drawn with the idea of Guest Heart Thursday, the second two were just for fun.  After I add color to them, I'll put them up for sale in my Etsy shop! 

There is a hidden heart in one of these drawings--can you find it?

Springtime Awakening

Springtime in the forests of our childhood is beautiful.  There is a slow awakening, almost like the wintering forest has been sleeping and is stretching as it awakens -- springtime flowers, tender green leaves stealing over the sleepy forest.

FATuesday Artist Spotlight #48

I created Featured Art Tuesday Artist Spotlight, to showcase inspiring Artists and to provide a forum for all Artists to share their work with one another -- this includes every type of medium, sculpture, beading, watercolour, restoring vintage cars, pen and ink, oils, gardening, interior decorating, photography and crafts, including writing and poetry. The list goes on and on. 
 

Each one of us is creative in one way, or another -- FATuesday Artist Spotlight celebrates the creativity found in every person.

I hope you will join in the fun. 

I only recently discovered Joel Haas, through a quote from one of our FATuesday's featured artists.  Joel's sculpture is delightfully inspiring.  He infuses each of his unusual pieces with vivid personality.  One expects these whimsical  metal sculptures to turn and wink when no one is watching. 

 Joel writes, “I make whimsical animals for the garden. Most pieces are welded and forged together from scrap steel parts and painted with rust-resistant primer. The final colors are applied with sign-painters' lacquers which won't fade in sunlight.  Some people have asked me if there is any serious or deep meaning to my work. I say, ‘I hope not. There're already enough serious and deep meanings in the world to keep thousands of art critics busy.’  I just make stuff that transports me to a happier place where I can hum and whistle.  Art can do that.”

You can see more of this wonderful artist's work when you visit Joel Haas Sculpture.  

The extraordinary art of Sergei Shillabeer fills my eyes to the brim.  His inspiring use of color and light seem almost supernatural.  There is a transcendent, translucent glow to each of his paintings.  Born in 1946 in Binghamton, New York, Sergei received his early art training in Chicago and during the late 1950's in Los Angeles.  His paintings and sculpture have been exhibited in the Netherlands, Mexico, and Japan.  It is no surprise he has exhibited in conjunction with the United Nations and was exhibited solo at the National Academy of Arts and Sciences!

Sergei writes, “My training came primarily by staring and staring at the masters at museums every chance I could get. I have a fondness for Monet and especially Manet and an absolute love for Sargent and Jouquin Sorolla…”    

To see more of this gifted artist's work, visit his art page at Bull Dog Studio.  You can also find him on facebook at Sergei Shillabeer Art.  

I found the enchanting clay art of Abby Moore on Facebook.  Her charming work is so inspiring.  Because of this artist's creative work, I have felt the urge to dig my fingers into polymers again.  As you can see, Abby's Christmas ornaments are gorgeous.  Some of her fascinating artwork looks as though she's quilted her designs from cloth--only it is clay. 

Abby writes, “I’ve been sculpting since I was a little child. Of course back then, I only played with play-doh. Thank goodness I found polymer clay for a history project when I was 11 years old. I’ve been claying ever since and would be lost with out it. It is such a wonderful experience every time I sculpt something new with polymer clay! That’s why I love it so much.”

To see more fabulous clay pieces, visit Abby's Polymer Clay.  You can also find her on facebook at Abby's Art.

The exquisite artwork of Danny Hahbohm speeds right past the eye gate into one's very soul.  When I visit his webpage I come away refreshed.  His artwork is truly inspired and inspiring.  He paints light as though he has already visited heaven, if that were possible.  His artwork speaks truth without saying one word.

Danny writes, “…I have a place I call my God room.  It’s just a back porch that overlooks God’s domain, which for me is a small pond and a section of the woods joining with some condos and a pool.  It is just some place where I get to be with God alone.  Just He and I as we talk and share our thoughts together…”

To see more of this gifted artist's extraordinary work, visit The Inspired Art of Danny Hahlbohm. 

I found the photography of Kannus-Maoo quite by accident.  Her macro work is incredible--a poetic dance between camera and subject.  I love to take pictures of tiny things--her pictures inspire me to greater heights.

Kannus-Maoo writes, "I think a photography class should be a requirement in all educational programs because it makes you see the world rather than just look at it." 

To see more of this exciting photographer's work, visit Kannus-Maoo.

Pout - Guest Heart Thursday

I think these pouting lips look just like a heart.  This painting is an ACEO/ATC, the size of a baseball card.  Thinking of the beautiful face which inspired this painting, it isn't surprising her adorable pout brings hearts to mind.

The artwork of Stephen Bennett is extraordinary.  When I first saw his wonderful portraits, I gasped.  His use of colors is so creative and inspiring.  His subjects touched me to the soul--there's something almost mystical about his art--something which captures the imagination and fills one's eyes to the brim with tears.  At least that is how his work affects me personally.

Stephen writes, "I am a portrait painter because of my passion for the world's people. For the last 20 years I have explored over 30 countries worldwide, seeking out indigenous and traditional people to paint.  My mission is to use my portraits to preserve and celebrate the cultures I encounter. I would like to invite you on a fascinating journey to experience the diversity of our world through my colorful paintings."

To view more of this extraordinary artist's portraits, visit Steve Bennett Portrait Painter.  Happily, you can also purchase Giclee prints at Stephen Bennett, Art.com.

My darling sister Clytie first introduced me to Prospero, of Serendipitous Garden.  His wonderfully imaginative, digitally enhanced photos are eye-catchingly beautiful.  The haunting loveliness of his art, coupled with the profound nature of the words he chooses to accompany each photo, always causes me to stop and ponder.  Sissy and I have adopted Propero as our own dear brother--which gives us much license to tease the daylights out of him.  (grin)

On a more serious side, from one of his most recent blog entries, Prospero writes, "Words like conscience, tenderness, and autumn light have already disappeared.” A profound thought, indeed.

To see more of Porspero's fabulous photos, visit Serendipitous Garden, Mirror, mirror,on the wall...

I first found Jeanne Klaver, an artist from Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania,  through her blog.  Her photography -- especially the set of photos (the first of them seen above) chronicling bird against scary snake  -- was gripping.  I hope the birdie did get away!

Then I found Jeanne's art blog, full of wonderful sketches and imaginative drawings.  I loved the caption she has in the header of her blog.  "The essential element is imagination."  This is the essence of Jeanne's inspiring work.

She quotes Joel Hass, "I just make stuff that transports me to a happier place where I can hum and whistle.  Art can do that."  That is the sweet place Jeanne's art takes us!

To see more of Jeanne's fascinating photography visit Daily Reflections from Atwater Pond.  To see more of her imaginative artwork visit Atwater Pond -- Where Art Matters.

I found Adrian Mills through one of my favorite artists, Valerie Greeley.  The simplicity of line and vividness of color are absorbing.  His inspiring work not only appeals to children, but to adults.  That is quite an accomplishment for any artist.  Adrian is presently working on a picture book.  I am excited to see what this talented artist has in store for us. 

Adrian writes,  “I am a freelance artist and children's book illustrator currently based in the South East…  My work primarily consists of pen and ink drawings with a vibrant mix of colour.  I enjoy creating characters and aim for my work to be contemporary, quirky and fun.”   

To see more of this artist's charming, yet wacky work, visit Adrian Mills Illustration. 

 

I found Jane Gray  quite by accident.  This wonderful writer, photographer and artist, from Bronteland, Yorkshire in the United Kingdom, has inspired me to try my hand at writing again.  I was so intrigued by the storyline she shares.  But not only that--her charming photography and incredible artwork add a riveting note.  Set in the Yorkshire moors and marble mountains of Tuscany, her "time-slip" novel tells of the love between a young painter and a sculptor who are neighbors, but who actually live half a century apart.

Jane writes,  "I have been a folk singer, a fashion designer in London, run a gallery and coffee shop in the lovely Yorkshire Dales, written newspaper articles and magazine features, short stories, songs, poetry and even greetings cards...  The Time Sculptor’s Secret is my first novel.” 

To see more of Jane's art and photography, as well as to read excerpts from her intriguing novel, visit The time Sculpture’s Secret.

Orchid Faery - Pink Saturday

I once visited a greenhouse where rare orchids grew. That is where I met this little Orchid Faery, wearing these exotic blooms in her hair.  The orchids she wears are one of a kind, tended lovingly by a master gardener.

.

I started with a pencil sketch, which I inked in with various sized indelible ink Staedtler pens. After inking, I erased the pencil lines, then added vibrant color with my beloved Prismacolor pencils.

To make sure the outside edges remained crisp and clear, I re-inked some of the more prominent lines. This must be done with care, gently rolling the ink pen tips periodically, because bees wax from the Prismacolor pencils can clog the flow of the ink.

Since I can't bear to part with the original drawing, you can purchase a limited edition, signed, numbered print at my Etsy shop, BethLeda Artworx.

The Adventures of Toez, the Polydactyl Kitten - Guest Heart Thursday

Princess Twinkle Toez came to live with us about a month ago.  She has six toes on all but one paw.  She is what people sometimes refer to as a Mitten Cat, because her front paws look like mittens.  Her back paws look like her feet are on wrong, because the larger toe is on the outside of her foot--rather than the inside.

Below you see her with one of the toys she delights to bat across the floor.  Once she catches it, she often holds her prize between her hands--rather like a human!

Her feisty personality has inspired many small ACEO drawings.  She loves to play--often pouncing upon anything that moves--and sometimes it is all in her imagination.

Toez was sleeping in the window seat when I sketched this more realistic drawing of her.

After awhile she awoke with that quizzical look upon her whiskered face.  "What you doing?" she seems to say.  She would rather eat my pencil, you see--and why did I awaken her from her nap?  Well, she's just SO cute!  I'm sure as time proceeds there will be many more adventures from Toez, the Polydactyl Kitten

I will be putting these up for sale on Etsy after I add a little color!

I fell in love with the bold color and perfect shading found in the paintings of Heather Foust.  Her artwork is full of whimsical surprises which inspire my own art.  She is not only a gifted artist, but is an engaging writer, too.  I love reading her thoughts about each of her pieces.  Combined, her artistic style and writing skills, make for a fabulous way to start the day!

Heather writes, "I am a wife, mother, grandmother,sister, friend,Mixed Media Artist. I finally found out that I can do and be anything I want to be. Well maybe I should say I found out what I want to be when I grow up. Yippey Yeh! Life is Grande!”

To see more of this inspiring artist's work visit Heather Foust.

Every painting by Michael Naples is food for the eye.  I have no idea how this amazing artist is able to paint one piece each day.  Each of his wonderful paintings has a power that is undeniable.  I loved going back to see how his style and skill continue to improve.  Michael's blog, art and sheer determination to continue doing the thing he loves.  I look forward to seeing more of this talented artist's work.

Michael writes, “I am a painter from the Chicago area. I started this blog in August 06 to get back in the groove of painting. I feel I have grown tremendously as an artist since then and still feel I grow with each painting I do.” 

To see more of Michael Naples' artwork, visit Daily Paintings.

I have a huge admiration for Australian artist Matteo Grilli, who's great love for nature can be seen in every brush stroke.  The journaling feel of some of his pieces often gives his paintings a special allure.  As a beginning watercolourist, I find great inspiration in this brilliant artist's exquisite work. 

Matteo writes of the painting above, "...I wanted to show a page from the 'Design Book', the sketchbook I use to plan and design what's in my mind before the actual painting. I developed this one from a few sketches and a couple of photos collected from a walk at Toohey Forest, South Brisbane. Although these birds, now a favorite of mine, are so colorful, in some conditions of light they can camouflage extremely well within their environment."

Years ago, my family and I had the privilege of staying in the home of Margie and John Wall.  To our great surprise, there was a tiny faery house just outside the front door, which fascinated and captivated our imaginations.  Margie taught the kids how to make these amazing little fairy tree houses with their tiny furnishings.  My eldest was inspired to build miniature chairs and furniture out of stalks of dried grass.  Each of our kids built their own little habitats, which they still have.  If you get the chance, purchase your own copy of this charming book.

Margie writes, "A lot of the fun for you, in building a treehouse of your own, will be finding the materials."  My children spent HOURS looking for things they could use in their little treehouses.  They created some charming habitats--to watch a child's imagination at work, is truly a wonderful thing!  

To read more about Margie's delightful Treehouse Habitats, visit Margie Wall Treehouse Habitats.  

I have enjoyed Al's wonderful pictures for some time.  I love the way he captures emotion on film.  His work has a crisp edge to it which inspires me.  He is a gifted photographer who's work reflects his love of the world with unusual angles and artistic sensitivity. 

Al writes, "Born in London, I've lived in The Netherlands, New York, and Washington DC. Now I've settled down in Colorado and love taking pictures. Unless otherwise stated, all pictures are taken by me with my Nikon D40X. I do almost no photo editing - occasionally I will crop or remove a dust spot, but that's all. What comes out of the camera is what you see here.”

Chief Joseph in the Clouds

I showed this cloud painting to a friend of mine awhile back.  I had thought this fellow looked a bit like George Washington.  But she thought, instead, that this man looked like an Indian Chief.  Of course, I  thought of Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce Tribe.

Dad recently told me we are related to the Nez Perce Indians.  I feel honored to know Native American blood runs in my veins.  I have always felt a connection to Chief Joseph.  He was a noble man who fought hard for his people in a time of great change and transition.

In most of the photos and drawings I found of Chief Joseph, there is a profound sadness in his eyes.  When I read his story and the story of the Nez Perce peoples I understand why such deep grief is reflected there.

Above you see him as I first saw him in the clouds.  He is smiling.  That idea makes my heart happy.

Star Dancer, ACEO, ATC

Malaya, my darling little niece and I did some watercolors together Thursday.  This star dancer is a girl I often draw.  I don't know why--she just keeps showing up.

Above you see my darling Malaya's watercolor called Sunset Outside My House.  Not too bad for a four-year-old!  It is so fun to teach her how to mix colors, spread them across the paper--we are both learning various brush techniques--which as you can see, in a four-year old's hand, can have some spectacular results!  I think this picture is breathtaking.

Star Dancer and Sunset Outside My House are both the size of baseball cards!

Forgiveness - Guest Heart Thursday

As children grow older and yearn to fly, great hurt can take place between parent and child.  Forgiveness between child and parent is incredibly important for growth in later life.  Bitterness can grow when forgiveness is not given, or received.   

I remember the day I realized my Mother was an extraordinarily interesting person.  It was an astonishing revelation how much she and I had in common.  She became someone I would seek out -- I loved hanging with her.  What a wonderful time in my life to live close enough to go walking with her every morning--how I cherish those memories.  She was (and still is) really fun!  I am so grateful for the friendship we have.

I have known Darlene Pringle for several years.  In fact, when we first got acquainted I won a print of the drawing you see above.  Her work hangs in my office where it fills my eyes every day.  What a privilege to share this genuinely beautiful lady’s life.  She is one of the most effervescent people I’ve had the honor to know! 

 

As you can see from the wonderful clay doll above, Darlene is a versitile artist.  She is a self taught mixed media artist who works with a huge array of artistic mediums.  This sweet woman is a musician who loves piano, theatre, antiques and floral gardening. She is also a writer/Contributor for Christian Spotlight, an International Movie Review site. 

Darlene writes, "When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, 'I used everything you gave me Lord.'"  

To see more of Darlene's fabulous work, visit her blog, A Dancing Mango, Where Magic of the the Past Lives.  

I met Robin years ago, at a lady's retreat where she was the speaker and we were the drama entertainment.  I received one of her books and have been a big fan ever since.  My teenage daughters loved her books as much as I did. 

It is no surprise Robin got her start as a writer when the teens at her church challenged her to write stories for them. This wonderful storyteller hadn’t thought much about being a writer, but took their request to heart and set an alarm for 3 a.m., three days a week. With two small children it was the only time she could find to write. After many rejections, Robin's book was sold and she hasn’t stopped writing since. Over four million copies of her 75 books have sold and can be found in a dozen translations all over the world.  It is a GREAT honor to know this wonderful artist.

Robin writes of her own dear daughter’s recent wedding, “Over the years I’ve written some dreamy romance moments for young couples but I could never write this. How do you describe the mesmerizing beauty of innocence? How do you catch so much happiness like fireflies in a jar and carry the glow with you always in your heart?  Sigh. So much happiness."   Having a Mom who's a writer can be really fun, I see! 

You can buy Robin’s books at Robin Jones Gunn Online Shop.  To peruse her fascinating newsletter, visit Robin’s Nest. 

I have followed Henny Netjes fascinating blog for several years now.  As you can see from the picture above, her photography is breathtaking.

She is also a wonderful artist.  Henny’s charmingly thoughtful artwork is extraordinary.  I believe she should be writing and illustrating children's books.

Henny writes,  “I draw and make pictures about sense and seemingly non-sense. about beauty around, yet in hurry life and all important else, forget to look & see. About God's glimpse shining through. Just around the corner in 'everyday-normal-life' hardly noticing, until looking back I see!.............. 'GIVE MY EYES WINGS'=IWINGS.'"  

To see more of this tremendously gifted artist’s photography and art, visit IWings.

I have known Becky Loyall through her blog for several years now.  She has been working on some altered books for her sweet granddaughters' upcoming birthdays.  It has been such a delight to follow the progress of the marvelous altered books she is crafting for her beloved grandbabies--a Faerie Dog Book and a Faerie Cat Book.  I have enjoyed watching each charming page as it is added to the whole!

Becky writes, “I am a Mixed Media Artist sharing my joy of the things that bring happiness into my life. Sometimes the things I like are a bit silly but I like to laugh and so I hope you will be able to laugh along with me…” 

To join in on the fun of Becky’s most recent projects, visit Whymsical Musings.  

Sorrow and Joy 

A fairy sits alone and cries,  

Tears streaming down from both her eyes.  

Why is her heart so very sad?  
What will make her soul turn glad? 
Seeing the one she loves and misses,

Covering that one with all her kisses;  
When she has her loved one near

And holds the one she loves so dear, 
Her eyes will sparkle and her smile return

When the one for whom her heart did yearn 
Shines on her like the sun above 
And wraps her in the warmth of sweet fairy love.
©2011 Randi Kuhne, My Fairy Poems. All rights reserved. 

Searching the internet for some of today’s talented poets, I found the whimsical faery poetry of Randi Kuhne.  Her word pictures inspire ideas for drawings in my mind--she uses words to paint beautiful pictures of faeries and their magical world.  Randi also loves photography and music and is working on a book of illustrated fairy poems.

Randi writes, “I've written poems since grade school and began to focus on fairies several years ago. I'm a lazy/workaholic affiliate marketer...Eventually I will illustrate some of my fairy poems and sell them online.”  She says of herself, “And there you have it, me in a nutshell.  Emphasis on nut.”  What a delightful lady!  I will be one of the first in line, to purchase her fairy poetry book when it comes available.
