Seeking the Light

Sunday, June 27th, 2010

My new favorite. Yep. Definitely. I call it Seeking the Light. It’s really about seeking wisdom, truth. Light and truth are synonymous. D&C 88

6 He that aascended up on high, as also he bdescended below all things, in that he ccomprehended all things, that he might be in all and through all things, the dlight of truth;

7 Which truth shineth. This is the alight of Christ. As also he is in the sun, and the light of the sun, and the power thereof by which it was bmade.

8 As also he is in the moon, and is the light of the moon, and the power thereof by which it was made;

9 As also the light of the stars, and the power thereof by which they were made;
11 And the light which shineth, which giveth you light, is through him who enlighteneth your eyes, which is the same light that quickeneth your aunderstandings;

12 Which alight proceedeth forth from the presence of God to bfill the immensity of space—

13 The alight which is in all things, which giveth blife to all things, which is the claw by which all things are governed, even the dpower of God who esitteth upon his throne, who is in the bosom of eternity, who is in the midst of all things.

New Paintings

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

I have a show in St. George this weekend so I’ve been working on a bunch of new paintings. I want to keep things fresh, you know? The show is called the Open Air Art Affair and it’s being put on by Ed Wallace and Gayla Prince Wallace. I’ve been to a few of their shows now and they’re really nice. I love the atmosphere and it’s really fun to meet other artists and art lovers. Anyway, here are my latest paintings. I’ve actually finished 2 more as well as these but they haven’t been photographed yet. Hopefully I’ll be able to post them tomorrow.

Collaborative project

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

My husband and I are working on a collaborative project. When he takes a photo that inspires me I do a painting of it. The last 2 peices that I blogged about were part of this project as well as 2 others that I blogged about in the past.  I thought you might like to see the photos next to the paintings. We’re going to present our idea to galleries and see what they think. It’s a cool idea because the photos are art in and of themselves and the drawings are art in and of themselves. When you see them side by side you see the beauty and uniqueness of each piece and each style of art. They compliment each other and together become a new and original form of art. So here you go. The photos next to the drawings. 

Native American Girl

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

Here’s one that I finished just before Christmas. It’s a prismacolor. I haven’t thought of title yet. I have to figure out what her story is first. If any of you readers out there have any ideas, I’m open to suggestions. :) Native_American_Girl

Sorry I haven’t blogged in so long!

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

It’s been forever since I last blogged! Sometimes life gets so busy that you forget to do the little things, you know?

I’ve been getting ready for the show at the DeZion gallery lately. Today, my Dad and I drove down to my grandparent’s house to drop off a bunch of pieces that will be in the show. My grandpa has agreed to make the frames for all the art. Normally my brother Jake would do it but he’s kind of on his honeymoon right now so he’s a little busy :) . Anyway, Grandpa makes fantastic frames so I’m really excited to see how they come out. I’m sure they’ll be amazing.  It was fun to see my grandparents reaction to the art. They’re so proud! Grandma’s eyes just lit up as she was looking at it. Man, it always makes me feel so good to make my family proud of me. After all, family is what it’s all about.

Yesterday was a waste, almost

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

Yesterday was annoying. I want to get my work into some more galleries so my Dad (who’s the marketing guy for willowrise) and I decided to drive into town to show my work to gallery owners and see if they’d take it. What we didn’t know is that all the galleries in the city are closed on Mondays. We couldn’t find a single one that was open. So annoying! We drove an hour and a half each way for nothing! So now we’re gonna have to go again tomorrow. This time however we’re going to do our homework and find out what galleries are open when so we don’t waste an entire day driving for no reason. Grrrr!

I didn’t want the whole day to be shot so when I got home I painted this. It only took maybe an hour as you can probably tell but I think it came out okay for what it is. I used turpenoid and prismacolor for the background and then just prismacolor for the forground. So the day wasn’t entirely wasted. I feel a little better.wild-wheat

I changed my painting

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

Okay, I may be goofy but I really liked the way the sky looked in the photo that I took of the painting I just finnished so I went back and drew clouds in to make it look like the photo. I think it’s better now than it was before! Ha. Thank goodness for bad photography.
