Autumn Falls

Alrighty then, I've got a lot of great news for you!

3 weeks ago I was asked to go to M&T Deli to paint. They have two windows at the front of their store with platforms and they get artists to go in there and just go at it and paint away! I said yes and started almost immediately.

Through a lot of difficulty I did it; I painted this picture on a 4x5 foot canvas.




The painting is made out of Acrylic paint and Oil Pastel. The tree trunks are pastel as well as the background of the leaves, the rest is acrylic.




So, I finished painting this on Thursday and it actually sold by Saturday before 9am!
They have never sold a painted so fast before! It is quite spectacular, eh!
I'm very happy and quite proud of my work.

Cedar Tree Cafe's New Art!

By Monday afternoon my art will be presented at Cedar Tree Cafe!
I am so excited! My art will flood the place with excellence! I am loving it!

Go check it out!


Right now though, I am about to get down to business and get a couple more things done before hand.

I have some different art pieces to present
Most are acrylic on canvas - boring BUT I have something special about some, I have two acrylic on old window panes and one is actually Crayon! I shaved a bunch of crayons, formed it into a tree then I used a hair drier to melt it and WALA! Who would have thought! Haha.  Hope you enjoy it!
These are just a few of the many going up in Cedar Tree Cafe Monday afternoon.
40x40 Acrylic

The Newness of Today

I can do many things, but normally I will do them in phases. Not in any particular order or anything, they just all happen eventually.
Somehow, I've managed to get 'forced' to do them all at this time. I did this to my self, I shouldn't be complaining, I'm just a little scared, doing all of me at one time! Scarry stuff!

I have 2 classes at University, Music Theory & Performance and Creative Writing: Skills
I have AHA (Actors Helping Actors)
I have Guitar lessons starting this week.
I have a ton of art to do to go up in Cedar Tree Cafe soon! (which mean I really shouldn't be writing this... haha) And I have a peice going up on September 26th in Issac's Way for an auction! Its amazing

It's a lot to do, I have to work on all of this constantly on top of having work and I want to start swimming so I'm getting more excersise.
I also have the best boyfriend ever who I loveeeee spending time with (:

It's my 18th birthday next week too! So very exciting! I'm kind of nervious as well, I'll be an adult! I couldn't be happier though, I have a great life. Everything is falling into place...

So there's a lot on my plate!
God's grace is so amazing!
I'm going to be working my butt off to keep this going and get it all done with exclence!

Everything at once

I decided to write today... I haven't written in a while, so don't mind me please.

I am a young girl of 17 years... I have big hopes and dreams like anyone else can, but the difference is the action I am taking. I want to be everything God has given me the power to do, which is everything and more... I AM everything, everything at once.
I honesty don't know all of the things that I want to do... But I am learning about what I can do... Almost every day I realize how much more I can offer.
I look at all my options. I want to go places and not just experience but be the experience everywhere I go.
I teach. Be a teacher in different ways. My first step is becoming an Educational Assistant at the elementary schools in the city, I applied for the job and after a few fix ups, I've done everything I can that now all I can do is wait and wait and wait... I can't wait for this waiting to finally disperse...
I write, stories, memories, and dreams.
I act in films and plays
I create things, like art, music and cupcakes ...haha (:
I want to travel all over the world... places like England, France, Austria, Brazil, Antigua, all of Canada ...you gotta know you're own country, eh... I don't know where else specifically, just everywhere would be nice.


There's just a lot of steps to getting to be who and what and where I want and need to be...

Generation to Generation

This is Lady Gaga and Madonna. I love this piece, I made it with magazine clippings, glue, paint and glitter.
The first thing I did was drew out these lovely Lady's, then I had to trace it on tracing paper. I then cut out a TON of news paper articles all the same font, colour and size then I pasted it all over the page, and surprisingly the weird shapes I pasted all seemed to just fit as easy as a glove, it was like a messed up Jigsaw puzzle! I then did the same to the body's. I then traced the image back onto the picture and painted. Last but not least, I had a blast glittering Lady Gaga's exploding boobs! Haha!
