I have to make room for new paintings, so I have launched a Studio Clearance Sale on my <a href="HTTPS://www.dianekhewitt.com">website</a>. From now until the end of April, just enter CODE : 50APR at Checkout for HALF OFF ALL ORIGINAL Oil Paintings. You may still purchase Fine Art Prints, but the originals may be gone. So, HURRY and don’t miss out on this SPRING CLEARANCE! </p><p><br /></p><p>It’s officially Spring! If you are like me, you will want to clean out clutter and update your living space. Here is a few suggestions for ways to modernize your haven. </p><p><br /></p><p>3 Ways to Brighten-Up Your Living Room With Original Artwork </p><p><br /></p><p>1. Bring splashes of color to your monochromatic rooms with a contemporary abstract painting.</p><p> </p><p>2. Add a grouping of paintings with a common theme or color palette, placing them one frame width apart. If they are gallery wrapped canvases place them approximately 2” apart should work well. </p><p><br /></p><p>3. Place a colorful row of similar sized paintings vertically in a neglected area, such as by a staircase or in a corner of a hallway on a narrow wall space. You could also place them horizontally if placed above a piece of furniture or above a mirror. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiidMaKMPnm0mDDkHOUh-cbsrZdnzzFMewgQGr8xkQ1OTXj86SaDR_eXY4HagpBTgF31rYsLFn6SMhTmluHCHH0EY7T0gfXXt8QNnPkq39tMEhNnavHjQfxHtXEMEWZRrRyHQX8ct2z-mGfgf2NJNc_aZr2Lc2roEe0B4lc4Z8k2OFcdcAtrWM-coL2cFA/s750/IMG_7924.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="550" data-original-width="750" height="235" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiidMaKMPnm0mDDkHOUh-cbsrZdnzzFMewgQGr8xkQ1OTXj86SaDR_eXY4HagpBTgF31rYsLFn6SMhTmluHCHH0EY7T0gfXXt8QNnPkq39tMEhNnavHjQfxHtXEMEWZRrRyHQX8ct2z-mGfgf2NJNc_aZr2Lc2roEe0B4lc4Z8k2OFcdcAtrWM-coL2cFA/s320/IMG_7924.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;">Celebration Of Connection nos.1&2</p><p style="text-align: center;">20x16” Oil on Canvas</p><p>When I am in my art studio painting, I move into a meditative head space and lose track of the time. At the end of the day, I rush back to family and usually leave things ‘helter-skelter’. If you saw my recent post on Instagram, you saw my disorganized studio. I put in some time organizing that lately, as well. It’s still a bit messy, but I can now find things. </p><p>“I think in terms of the day’s resolutions not the years’” ~ Henry Moore</p>DIANE KNIGHT HEWITThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12831772504861113076noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991531781504759925.post-69468087411798872112024-01-24T12:20:00.000-08:002024-01-24T12:23:26.795-08:00A Woman’s Mind Is Always Full, Yet She Manages To Imagine The Beauty In Nature In This Abstracted Portrait Oil Painting by Georgia Contemporary Artist Diane K.

There is a sale going on with 25% off fine art through the end of November. Feel free to share the link with others. I am still loading pieces as I find the time. The good news is that Etsy allows for payments for larger pieces of art, an option not currently available on my website. If you see a piece that you like on my website, but it is missing from my Etsy Shop, let me know and I will add it. </p>

However, in the past couple of weeks I did, donate paintings for Galas auctions. The Forsyth County Humane Society is a no-kill shelter that has become affiliated with our Suwannee-Cumming Art Center. Those who know me well know how much I love and respect animals, so that was an easy choice. I also donated a painting to The Music Academy of NC for a friend. The proceeds will be used toward their program for less fortunate young musicians to pursue their dreams. </p>

The gallery is open Fridays and Saturdays from 11 am- 4 pm on Fouts Road in Roswell. Stop in to see some of the works of its many gifted members. You can also see some art by Members by following their Roswell Fine Arts Alliance Facebook and Instagram pages; or purchase art on their new Website Shop at <a href="https://www.rfaa.org/shop">https://www.rfaa.org/shop</a> . Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get my photos together this quarter. I should be ready closer to Christmas when they again change out the art in the Shop. </p>

I invite you to decipher what each means to you. The beauty of abstract is that it speaks to each individual personally. What you see may not be what others see. For me, as the painter, the fun is in intuitively laying paint on the canvas, turning it up, down, and sideways, and walking away to really get to know the piece. The emotions, forms, symbols and meaning behind the art usually begin to shine through when I am viewing the art from a different perspective. It is when it reveals itself to me that I am able to title the piece. Let me know what you see in these pieces of art.<a href="https://www.dianekhewitt.com/workszoom/5324836/beyond#/" target="_blank"> Beyond </a></p><p><br /></p><p>On any given weekend in September and October you will find small towns and cities filled with fall arts and crafts street festivals and plein air paint outs. I hope you will take the time to get out and explore your area. These last few weeks have found me varnishing, framing and preparing for local art festivals. Cummimg GA’s “World Of Art Festival” was a recent one I enjoyed. There was street food, arts and crafts, dance groups, and Celtic and Mariachi bands. I learned the history of the Brannon-Heard House, where the Art Center is located in Cumming. The house was built in 1905, and has been the Brannon Hotel, a home to the Heard Family, the town’s school teachers’ dormitory during the week (they went back to the country on the weekends), and even a dentist one used one of the upstairs rooms for his practice, before being used for weddings and other events, before becoming home to the Arts Center in recent years. The house was considered haunted, although no one has heard from the ghosts for years. It now houses an art gallery and a gift store filled with artistic treasures. They usually change out the theme for the exhibitions in the gallery every 3-4 weeks. Various art classes are also held there throughout the week. </p><p><br /></p><p>Last weekend was the Roswell Art Festival. Roswell Fine Arts Alliance had a tent there with art from its membership. There are so many gifted artists in Roswell, GA , who show regularly at the Gallery in Roswell, as well as at many local venues. The event was held “rain ir shine”, and boy did it rain the whole first day. That didn’t stop the shoppers. They donned their umbrellas and ponchos and braved the weather. The turnout was amazing. On Sunday the sun was out, and the visitors were steady. Food trucks fed multitudes of people, while a rock band played music reminiscent of the 60’s. </p><p><br /></p><p>The weekend also held a major event, the Cumming Art Festival at the beautiful Cumming City Center. The Center offers a huge boutique shopping area, numerous restaurants, putt-putt gold, a children’s playground, and grassy concert arena. Tents lined both sides of the busy streets selling everything from original art, pottery, jewelry and every imaginable craft. The event was a huge success with many out-of-towners, as well as locals like myself, discovered the City Center’s many charms f oh r the first time. </p><p><br /></p><p>Roswell is having a “Sip and Stroll” coming up, hosted by the Roswell Women’s Club this year on Oct. 22nd from 2:00 pm- 6:00 pm. Ticket holders will get a “passport” to several Canton Street merchants redeemable for free drinks and discounts as they stroll & vote for the best “BOO Y’aLL Scarecrows” by local artists on display. Tickets are on sale at the website. Everyone must be 21 or older to purchase tickets. Single ticket = $30, Couples ticket = $50. September, where bar and restaurant crawlers will be walking up and down the sidewalks of the historic city of Roswell viewing artwork from local artist with Halloween Entries that are sure to surprise visitors. </p><p><br /></p><p>Art is definitely in the air during the months of Autumn everywhere. </p><p><br /></p><p>“I would like to recapture that freshness of vision which is characteristic of extreme youth when all the world is new to it.”<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>-Henri Matisse</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope you have a fun week! </p><p><br /></p><p>Diane</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwOtZMXg-mAFgFQyKTH6O0g3t38uU64baeyAK98Sh-bMYNCJh9ZW-_oXfV0Q9qbYveh1v8wg2OaSC6qdcOvfqh7ifcNdX2f9xUUYK1r7ZZ3OjNG6UP6yqLfi2y3GzX1WhTUF2V6a_p_VijD3g66KMx4WUwpxtb01YYNPKJ7JylVHKooYvfSeGL3t1wZdo/s1374/230912%20beyond%202%20%2000ppi%2016%20x%2020x1.5%20diane%20k%20hewitt.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1050" data-original-width="1374" height="245" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwOtZMXg-mAFgFQyKTH6O0g3t38uU64baeyAK98Sh-bMYNCJh9ZW-_oXfV0Q9qbYveh1v8wg2OaSC6qdcOvfqh7ifcNdX2f9xUUYK1r7ZZ3OjNG6UP6yqLfi2y3GzX1WhTUF2V6a_p_VijD3g66KMx4WUwpxtb01YYNPKJ7JylVHKooYvfSeGL3t1wZdo/s320/230912%20beyond%202%20%2000ppi%2016%20x%2020x1.5%20diane%20k%20hewitt.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCnDz9awqFTz17HTTx_cyGDC105W9j1-IZLJ-2De0lDrCIme918Q-m3G4UTOMWep9dWA5l__mz9zHUIEdpL7Yb_P47-8kL1rfinq9HsWzAQNBrIIH1_hctVC1OOSd5rM6oJ69k0agGCPzD-8ShDgHYvUwwGPHa2s7QU1kYnHW3MyBv-NeCP0QeLf7Yxzs/s2348/IMG_0781.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2345" data-original-width="2348" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCnDz9awqFTz17HTTx_cyGDC105W9j1-IZLJ-2De0lDrCIme918Q-m3G4UTOMWep9dWA5l__mz9zHUIEdpL7Yb_P47-8kL1rfinq9HsWzAQNBrIIH1_hctVC1OOSd5rM6oJ69k0agGCPzD-8ShDgHYvUwwGPHa2s7QU1kYnHW3MyBv-NeCP0QeLf7Yxzs/s320/IMG_0781.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><a href="https://www.dianekhewitt.com/workszoom/5324902/inquiry-lockdown#/" target="_blank">Inquiry Lockdown </a><br /><p></p>DIANE KNIGHT HEWITThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12831772504861113076noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991531781504759925.post-33962916455786364872023-09-05T14:57:00.006-07:002023-09-05T14:57:40.160-07:00Perspective In Art<p><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 13px;">Next month this abstract expressionistic piece, will be next to a photograph entitled, 'New View', by Georgia Nature Photographer's Association Photographer, Ginger Kirk.

Some time back, my husband and I were on a golf course at Amelia Island, Florida, when this brilliantly colored Cross Spoonbill soaring above us. I quickly took a photo, which I thought I would paint when we returned home from our trip. The last time we were on a trip to a friend's home in Florida, a flock of pink birds were coming towards our car on the highway. We were too slow to photograph them that time, but it reminded me to go back to my photo files and locate the Spoonbill photos from the time at Amelia. This painting is a result of that search. I remember the day was a bit gloomy, and the excitement I felt when I saw the bird. The contrast in the colors of the forest and bird were mesmerizing. That regal, soaring bird instantly lifted my spirits. <div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfOxV09qkGkjSMC7wcyp4wPJHyhNizrZpdQS3dgL8lA6DPd3YyQ4fe96lMMmggycSMDZk2u6O9f3cGNlXX8VudbZxAQVp8pYVZdtw1fRqo4gqgBLjM1ObBoSM2Hg-Ur2hb3OvxD55qST_fjyozncrQnAK_y60-AYXzMDk5UXUSDHu-OkqYP_eDyCd0fkg/s1200/230721%20Spoonbill%20Flight%20300%20ppi%208%20x%2010%20OC%20dianekhewitt%20copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="939" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfOxV09qkGkjSMC7wcyp4wPJHyhNizrZpdQS3dgL8lA6DPd3YyQ4fe96lMMmggycSMDZk2u6O9f3cGNlXX8VudbZxAQVp8pYVZdtw1fRqo4gqgBLjM1ObBoSM2Hg-Ur2hb3OvxD55qST_fjyozncrQnAK_y60-AYXzMDk5UXUSDHu-OkqYP_eDyCd0fkg/s320/230721%20Spoonbill%20Flight%20300%20ppi%208%20x%2010%20OC%20dianekhewitt%20copy.jpg" width="250" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">'Spoonbill Flight'</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">10 x 8" Oil on Canvas Board</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Diane K.

I took the reference photo for 'Evening Rain In Midtown' from my balcony, when I lived in a high rise in The Atlantic at Atlantic Station in Midtown Atlanta. Every evening it was a treat to watch the sun set in the evening with my husband.</p><p>The heat in our country has been out of control lately. We've been lucky in the Atlanta area, so far, not to suffer from the heatwave quite as much as much as many other states. My heart and prays goes out to those who are homeless or at risk, and must deal with this massive heat wave. Be kind to everyone you meet. Heat makes people irritable and irrational. Be the "calm in the storm". I am extremely grateful for air conditioning every day. I hope you are, as well.</p><p>I like to journal each day, and keep track of every day's blessings. Gratitude is a wonderful thing! It opens the heart for many more blessings. Did you know that you can't feel grateful and worry at the same time? </p><p>Hopefully, this excessive wave of heat will diminish soon. Unfortunately, here in the Atlanta area, we have come to expect the heat and humidity during our late summers.

It's my interpretation of an extraordinary daybreak over the Atlantic Ocean. </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue; font-size: x-small;">My family and I saw many gorgeous sunrises when we owned a condo on the beach at Amelia Island, Florida. We were there for over 20 years, </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 13px;">and I finally got around to painting one. This painting was much more challenging than </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 13px;">I had imagined. Attempting to simplify God's perfect art work is never easy.

I am giddy, and terrified, about all the exposure. It’s taking me out of my comfort level, and exposing me for much critique. But, I am feeling ready to step out from behind my website and easel, and step into the light. </p>

My husband and have lived in a constant state of flux in the past few years. A part of that has been packing, unpacking, and looking for lost items. Some of those lost items have been some of my art equipment and supplies. We had trouble locating the area where we both wanted to live. My husband wanted to live on a lake. I wanted to try living in a high rise in Atlanta. We settled near Lake Lanier, and closer to our friends. <p></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 13px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 13px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">I have always leaned on my friends for love and support during trying times. And we have had our fair share of those in the last few years. We downsized, my husband was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease, I tore my knee, had surgery, and spent months in rehabilitation only to realize I need a new knee. Life has been a challenge to say the least. </p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 13px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 13px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">My husband retired after 36 years of practicing law. I managed his office and was his secretary for almost 20 of those years. So far, he has not enjoyed his forced retirement. However, with him being home more, his help with our home, and his help caring for our very needy 16 year old Yorkshire Terrier, I have been free to finally get back to my passion - creating art! I view that as the “silver lining” in this journey. </p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 13px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 13px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">These days find me feeling like I am finding my <i>wings</i>. I plan to explore some new ways to express my truth, story and emotions through my art, as well as continuing my tried and true methods of painting ‘en plein aire’ and in-studio landscapes, seascapes, still lifes, etc. I am currently in the process of organizing my art studio, sprucing up my website, and regaining some confidence, Then, you will be seeing some new art coming forth. </p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 13px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 13px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">I hope you will sign up for my newsletter, “<a href="https://www.dianekhewitt.com/email-newsletter" target="_blank">What’s On My Easel”</a>, to follow my progress, and also check out my new and improved <a href="https://www.dianekhewitt.com" target="_blank">Website</a>.

My wonderful cousin, Michelle Knight, is a excellent photographer in North Carolina. Her photographic eye always captures spectacular landscape vistas outdoors. She has allowed me access to her photos from time to time. This oil painting was inspired by one of her photos taken along a peaceful mountain road. I truly appreciate your support, Michelle!</div>

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 14.34pt;">I love visiting Denver, Colorado. My best friend’s daughter, Whitney, her husband, Alex, and their precious babies live there. The couple loves to travel the World, and stay quite active in everyday life. Alex also enjoys extreme snow skiing, mountain biking, and more. </span></div>

My husband and I have lived a beautiful, if complicated, life together for 39 years. At this chapter in our journey, we decided to <b>simplify</b> our lives by downsizing. I'm sure many of you that are my age can identify with our experience.<br />
<br />
Having sold our homes easily in the past, I got busy packing away my messy art studio. After all, it was clearly the biggest eye sore to any non-painting, potential home buyers. I packed away hundreds of paintings, many unfinished, along with all of my art essentials. I felt such sadness when we had movers transport it all to a nice storage unit even though I knew it was only temporary. I just couldn't risk the chance that my oil paintings would have been sold for very little, or donated after an estate sale. .<br />
<br />
I then spent my days organizing, inventorying, packing, selling, donating, and throwing away items accumulated during our then 36 years of marriage. We had 2 large garage sales, where I sold a lot of art equipment, like unused or outgrown easels, art backpacks, paints, brushes and the like, along with home furnishings, gifts never used, clothing never worn...well, you get the picture. Our basement had been full to the ceiling, and it was almost 2,000 square feet! It took nearly a year of cleaning our basement area up and out, before we felt even close to listing our home for sale. We still had quite a bit around the walls, but felt any potential buyers would expect to see things in one’s basement.<br />
<br />
Our realtor gave us a price at which to list our home, and we laughed. The recession is over, we thought. We should get so much more than that for our custom, beautifully decorated home. So we priced it higher, based on the comparable homes that had sold near us, with room to negotiate. We lowered our listing price several times, to no avail. We staged our home twice to appeal to young modern buyers. Each time, having to separate items to keep from items to sell, and hire movers to deliver more things to storage. We eventually changed agents, and while it sold in the months to come, we looked back over the whole experience, and realized we had practically put our “normal” professional and social lives on hold for 3 long years! Nevertheless, the entire time we had been <b><i>extremely</i> <i>busy</i>. </b><br />
<br />
Every day during the time our house was being shown seemed frantic, tidying up for a showing every couple of days, taking my Yorkshire Terrier off in the car while agents came through my home, searching out places to move after our home sold, deciding what favorite furnishing would fit into a new small space, cleaning out and selling our mountain cabin in Blue Ridge, GA, and finally, planning a remodel of our beach condo at Amelia Island Plantation, where we planned to eventually land, gazing out at the water and painting, for the final chapter of our retirement. So you see, there was not enough time in the day to create an oil painting.<br />
<br />
We located an auction company to hold an Estate Sale following our move, to sell the items in our home that were no longer of use to us, only to find that “brown furniture” , antiques, and upholstered furniture <b>do</b> <b>not</b> <b>sell.</b> First things to go were painted & farmhouse furniture, wall art, and costume jewelry. Now, we had to figure out what to do with <b>those</b> leftover items! <br />

I had thought the stress of moving from our beloved home and yard into a small condo would be tough, but I found that deciding what to keep from a home full of items, some for which we had scrimped and saved, gifts we loved dearly, things from our travels to other countries, and stuff passed on from generations past, proved to be the most stressful of our recent endeavors.<br />
<br />
With all of that finally behind me, I can finally breathe. It feels like I am completely starting over as an oil painter. I plan to explore some new ways to express my passion of art. I may attempt <i>a painting a day, </i>or<i> </i>paint some<i> </i>contemporary<i> </i>abstracts. Whatever I try, I know I will find peace in getting my brush wet again!DIANE KNIGHT HEWITThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12831772504861113076noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991531781504759925.post-48988846143890701632013-05-31T10:31:00.000-07:002013-06-13T10:35:58.851-07:00'Painting From Photos'<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">“Don't buy
into the Lie”<br />
by Diane K. Hewitt</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It's about time! I am finally settling into what I would consider a somewhat "normal"
routine for 2013. Christmas decorations are put away, my house is put back to
normal, and my mind is refocused on <span class="il">my</span> art career. Yes,
there, I have said it….’career’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It has
taken me over 5 years to admit that my art is my ‘career’ not just a hobby, as
many would think. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just yesterday my nail
technician asked about my recent first group exhibition.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I told her it was a great success for
the hospital, but I did not sell any paintings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>She replied, “Your art is just a hobby, so why be concerned about
selling anything?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Nevertheless, starting off 2013 with my first showing was extremely exciting!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a group Art Exhibition at Emory
Eastside Hospital in the Greater Atlanta Area. The five paintings I delivered
remained <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>on the walls of their new
Patients Tower throughout the month of January. Around 800 people were in
attendance for the Grand Opening of the Hospital’s state-of-the-art Patients
Tower, despite threats of sleet and snow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
Unfortunately, </span>I was not well, and was unable to attend the Opening.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, I was very grateful for the
opportunity, and for <span class="il">my</span> friend and mentor, Duck Ae
Karasek, who believed in me enough to recommend <span class="il">my</span> art to
the show’s organizers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">With the new year also comes a new sense of 'self' for this painter. Better
choices on <span class="il">my</span> part WILL result in more time in the
studio, and better art. Of that, I am certain! The other day I had an absolute "ah ha" moment , after reading a devotion posted on
a friend's Facebook page. There is absolutely no reason for one
to "buy into the lie" that this is all there is in life. One’s choices
formulate their reality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And, reality
can change with different choices.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So,
this year I will choose to accept nothing less than who I am authentically meant
to be....a painter!<br />
<br />
Wikipedia defines 'authenticity' as "...the truthfulness of origins,
attributions, commitments, sincerity, devotion, and intentions" and "
the degree to which one is true to one's own personality, spirit, or character,
despite external pressures."Merriam-Webster defines it as being:
"true to one's own personality, spirit, or character."<br />
<br />
I realize that the word ‘authenticity’ means different things to different
people. I suppose it depends on where they are in their life's path. Some may see it as not being 'fake' to their friends and acquaintances,
allowing them to see their true personality 'flaws and all'. Not putting on a smile for others while hurting deeply on the inside. For me, at this time in my life, ‘authenticity’ means being the real artist that I know I can become with
daily study and intense practice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can
not allow external forces, such as critical self-talk, excessive social media, petty
household duties, needy spoiled pets, and plain old procrastination, to get in
the way of what I am authentically meant to do in growing my career.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Doing so would only result in <span class="il">my</span>
own "lack of authenticity."<br />
<br />
In summary, my wish for all of you in 2013 is
the gift of ‘authenticity’, however it may apply.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I can still hear the gentle tinkle of water as it flowed under this multi-colored stone bridge, with soft afternoon light peeking though the floral and fauna of the green forest, and the soft whisper of the cool breeze coming through the trees. The bridge is situated atop a creek adjacent to the
Chapel at Calloway Gardens in Pine Mountain, GA. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />

in the courtyard of a Tuscan farmhouse, while I was on a trip in Italy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> This particular vignette drew my attention with the beautiful pottery, barrels, pumpkins and more. Nearby g</span>rapes had been harvested for wine, loaded on trucks, and ready
for market.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The farmer’s wife had set
the perfect outdoor table for our bountiful luncheon of fresh vegetables, olives,
cheeses, fresh pastas, and sumptuous wines. With the beautiful backdrop of the
Italian hills, this delightful feast and fine companionship created perfect
memories of our trip to the Tuscan region.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
