a blog along!

hi there.  it's me.  again.  i know i posted just yesterday about the paintings i put up in my society6 shop, but i'm here now because sweet effy wild has created a blog along challenge for the month of september, and i have decided to jump in!

i used to enjoy writing as a child and young adult but have just gotten out of practice and lazy.  i think writing about ones life is important, especially as one gets older and more, um, forgetful.  i also think my blog has stagnated and gotten rather boring and i want to add my personality in it instead of "here, i painted this" and "here, i put those paintings up in my shop".  BORING!



i want to show more of who i am

what my world is like

what I'm interested in

the good, the bad, and the ugly

i've decided that this blog should be more about what makes me tick, as thats what really creates the artist inside!  my art is for me, i create paintings for myself not for consumerism.  i create pieces that resonate in my own heart, and i think i started thinking more about not wanting to bore people who *may* read the blog.  there are a hell lot more people not reading than there are reading this, so i need to get it back to me.  it's ok to have my blog about me!

so, starting september first, i will be writing daily in an attempt to get back into my head.  effy has prompts in case i decide i don't know what to write about, so that should help a lot!

and i'll apologize in advance for the influx of posts and notifications that will be happening.  some things must happen to create change.  and this is a good change.

until later,
jenny

three new in the shop!

hi there!  my sweet man was able to work with me this weekend to get my newest paintings in the shop.  i'm also proud to say that since getting a february 2018 date for my library showing four months ago i've gotten eight new paintings completed!  thats pretty good progress for me.  i know that once the show is under wraps, i will be free to work on other mediums, not just canvas, so that will taper down.  of course i'll still be making works on paper still available in the shop (if they are shop worthy), but the pressure i give myself to have show quality work will be less.

so, here they are!


the seeker;

prints

tapestry

and cards

tail of the peacock;

prints

sweet curtains

a funky backpack

and much more!

and 

queen of her own healing;

print

phone cover

and totes

as usual, you can find more items available for each painting at my heavenspirit creations store.  i noticed that we forgot to add "queen of her own healing" as a tapestry, so we will fix that this evening.

a therapy canvas

i had an experience the other day that triggered my inner 'injured child' who fretted and freaked out.  instead of stewing in that pot of fermented awfulness i decided to slather paint to canvas to release the trauma of the day and of my past.

then i searched my collections of royalty free images for the right feeling i wanted for this piece and started painting her right on the canvas, no planning or sketching first, which has been a must for me until this point.

added her hands

and gave her a crown and small plant, symbolizing new growth;

she's still a work in progress, but she has been very healing for me!

she is titled 

"queen of her own healing"

until later,
