A little food for thought today
Quote from the Online Plein Air Magazine by artist Rusty Jones
“We all have to accept ourselves for who we are and not try to chase after some other approach to painting.
There’s a point at which we have to stop listening to the voices of our teachers, forget what we have seen in art books and exhibitions, and just paint intuitively.
We have to accept that our personal statement will emerge without making a concerted effort to find it.”
Here is the latest installment in my Color of Music Guitar series titled: Hallelujah!
I called it Hallelujah because it reminds me of those beautiful imperfect Stained Glass windows you find in the old churches.
Also every time I look at it I can almost hear “Hallelujah” being played on it.
I absolutely love how vibrant this piece is and it’s unique among the other pieces in the series for two reasons
1-This is the smallest guitar I’ve worked on as it’s a child sized acoustic guitar (nice & light as a wall mounted Art piece)
and second
2-It’s the only one in the series that wasn’t a commission. Meaning, it’s looking for a musician or art lover to take it home.
I’ve listed it in my Esty Store if anyone is interested in purchasing it 🙂
Cheers,
Amanda

Hello 2014, Think I forgot about you?
Well if you’ve been following along at all by now you should have realized I’m terrible at maintaining my blog,
add in the fact that I had our second baby at the end of January and the months tend to slip by.
But that’s life, and my kids and family are a big source of my joy and desire to create Art.
So how am I managing you might ask? lol Good Question.
Not Bad I guess,
I’m currently working on finding balance in raising two BEAUTIFUL Daughters: Zoë & Prudence
while trying to find time to keep our house from looking like a complete disaster 😉
while also doing my jewelry inventory
All the while trying to keep up with the flow of creative ideas I’ve had lately
Oh and of course trying to squeeze in sleep so I don’t go completely insane Heh!
So all in all not too bad.
I’ve also signed up for the entire season at our local Farmer’s Market so that will be keeping me busy from June until the end of August this year
and of course I’m still peddling my wares over on Etsy so pop on over.
As for me, I have a lot of work to do 🙂 and I will try to keep updating as I go along, but for tonight, back to inventory 🙂
Cheers,
Amanda
