This is a re-work of a painting I did a bit ago that was just too busy in my view, so I sanded and scraped off texture and re-worked certain areas to simplify it to what you see now. See the previous version here...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIOpfqKH8gfnUjUBwQdrxTy1Y5CfB7rqy4ZgeJ29GglMDebGY1zIHqxjWIix9-HrJGS5FCcvCkMVlaKU4-LdVSR2a-hKeW4RF4JS15qqsij81SfG7XJlpzeGXfWLw9wrW1ih6-11_iJBNZ/s1024/A+light+in+the+forest+previous.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="1011" height="205" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIOpfqKH8gfnUjUBwQdrxTy1Y5CfB7rqy4ZgeJ29GglMDebGY1zIHqxjWIix9-HrJGS5FCcvCkMVlaKU4-LdVSR2a-hKeW4RF4JS15qqsij81SfG7XJlpzeGXfWLw9wrW1ih6-11_iJBNZ/w202-h205/A+light+in+the+forest+previous.jpg" width="202" /></a></div><div>I love pine trees almost as much as aspen, however, in life, they just don't grow that close, and even though it was my artistic rendition, I was always a little claustrophobic when I looked at it, so one day I just decided to simplify; which by the way, is my new thing. maybe...ha!</div><div><br /></div><div>Don't be afraid to play with something you have once called complete.

It is like looking into the depths of it and yourself and pulling out even more. I actually really love this process.

Last week my old laptop was on its last legs, so I decided to change my life for a bit and get a new one. I ended up with a refurbished tower, and have been adding things to it ever since. This is awesome in a way, but very demanding of my time and life also. I went from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and that came with changing my photo storage system as well. WOW! I have been slipping away from it for moments at a time to re-work a painting I've never loved and adding some splash to another one I love but I think I can do better...It makes for a bit of upheaval for sure.<br />
<br />
The video above is of the tweaking to a painting from a few years ago that always bugged me. I LOVE parts of it, but other parts, YUCK. I'm still editing this version, but thought I'd play with a video here.<br />

<br />
I'm learning a lot about switching to a new system. It isn't all rainbows and kittens. But, I'll make it through...but, will my art business survive the glitch of time...yet again! YES...eventually!<br />
<br />
Wish me luck!<br />

I have been revamping my life and my on line presence and my classes for awhile now, and I FINALLY have found my creative voice and have gotten most of my p's and q's together. After many attempts at many different sites, including Etsy and a few free websites I have landed in the best place online I could be! <a href="http://www.saundralane.com/">MY FineArtStudioOnLine website</a>! As it turns out I was trying to find separate sites that would hold my paintings (that was FASO), my jewelry and creative treasures. I failed miserably with ETSY as they take way too much and I was forced to raise my prices, AND, they would take money out of my account and I could never figure out why...I paid for ads with them and sold some, but again, they took WAY TOO MUCH...and the day I stopped the ads my sales went to zero! I found out that they can bury your ads so you feel forced to advertise with them! SCAM!<br />

The day I found out that FASO would hold everything I do I was in heaven! Not only is that great, but they do not take a commission in the form of fees or anything else; no transaction, nothing but what pay pal charges for services; which is a great deal less than ETSY. AND, Fine Art Studio Online has an excellent customer service team that will chat with you on line, you can email them, or talk to them on the phone...VERY SOON! Often within minutes!<br />
<br />
SO, call me a happy artist! I'm busy loading my items in my website as we speak! Give them a try if you paint and need a good reputable company!<br />
<br />
HAPPY CREATING!<br />

This bear painting was done as a request from someone who saw "Bear Visit" I did a year ago; that sold, and she loved it so much she wanted one similar...Which is good, as similar is all I would be able to do on something like this...You can see the first one below IS similar, but different...ha...I enjoyed working on it to try to give her what she wanted. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
This is my 3rd entry for the Mountainside Miniature show coming up in just a few days! I love painting dragonflies...and...the story goes that...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="ya-q-full-text" id="yui_3_17_2_6_1503610587667_1556" itemprop="text">When
a dragonfly lands on you, you will hear excellent news from someone far
away from home. A dead dragonfly symbolizes sad news. Dragonfly
symbolism crosses and combines with that of the butterfly and change.
The dragonfly symbolizes going past self-created illusions that limit
our growing and changing. Dragonflies are a symbol of the sense of self
that comes with maturity. <br />
<br />
They are fantastic flyers, darting like light, twisting, turning,
changing direction, even going backwards as the need arises. They are
inhabitants of two realms - starting with water, and moving to the air
with maturity, but staying close to water. Some people who have the
dragonfly as their totem have had emotional and passionate early years,
but as they get older they achieve balance with mental clarity and
control. They gain an expression of the emotional and mental together. <br />
<br />
Dragonflies are old and adaptive insects, and are most powerful in the
summer under the effects of warmth and sunlight. Their colors are a
result of reflecting and refracting the power of light. As a result,
they are associated with color magic, illusion in causing others only to
see what you wish, and other mysticism. <br />
<br />
The are often represented in Japanese paintings, representing new light
and joy. To some Native Americans they are the souls of the dead. Faerie
stories say that they used to be real dragons. <br />
<br />
Dragonflies are reminders that we are light and can reflect the light in
powerful ways if we choose to do so. "Let there be light" is the divine
prompting to use the creative imagination as a force within your life.
They help you to see through your illusions and allow your own light to
shine in a new vision. </span></div>

This year I decided to do creatures that are on our property. The first is "Bunny" who visits us every morning! I think of this little baby as all color and light and fun! She often sits with her back to me, but with that one little eye keeping watch on my every movement! </div>

For a fun "Long Skinny" as I call them, this slice of pine tree is painted on a cradled panel that is stained green on the sides. I adore how the depth of these paintings can allow for sitting on a shelf OR hanging. I have included a wire on back. The background actually started out as another painting, so there are things back there that were original to another work that I didn't really enjoy. Then I put some paper over it, acid free of course...a bit of texture and then the tree is in oil. A great conversation piece for sure!</div>

I was never interested in doing them before, until one day I realized <u>I don't have to</u> create a perfectly symmetrical dream catcher...I can tickle my artist view by doing them in a new way. Creating something with your own spin is a perfect solution for days when you are stuck for ideas!<br />
<br />
My dream catchers are made with aspen branches from my property on the mountain. I have learned that the best way to create them is to shape them as they might naturally be; meaning, not a perfect circle...and then letting them dry a bit. This way they will not shrink once you have added the web inside. I enjoy adding a bead or two..this one has a hand made bead from a magazine I rolled, and an actual acorn that I found after a season. To add another of my personal spins I added a word encased in two part epoxy. I tea died an old t-shirt and use them as an added element of texture hanging from these catchers...and then I decorate with feathers and beads...I love leaving little shoots (when they are there) of branch in my designs that emphasize the natural"ness" of the finished dream catcher.<br />

The fun thing about these fun bits of whimsy is they can be personalized with a word of phrase of your choosing! The only drawback is these little beauties are not huge so you have to keep your phrase to a few words...but...FUN!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
I happen to be teaching a class on how to make these beauties on June 4 at our local coffee shop called Tamari's. If you are interested...send me a message!</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As an artist it is imperative that we change and grow just as we grow as human beings. This keeps us from stagnating. This is what has been happening in my life the past couple of years. Throw in a few life changing events like job losses, fires, health issues, and a myriad of other events and this growth spurt has been longer than I think it would have been...but life has it's twists and turns and we can only do our best to move forward as we have time and breath to do so.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The two paintings above are the result of my growing pains...along with so many projects and other things I have been doing to create inspiration in this artist brain of mine!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
SO, follow along if you will...life is awesome, and crazy and scary and fun...for us all!</div>

When my auntie M and uncle T's home burned down two days after Christmas my heart was broken for them! They lost almost EVERYTHING...they had no insurance...but, so many folks stepped up and generously gave so that they were able to put a down payment on a new home that they delivered just recently to their property and they JUST moved in! YAY!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
One of the treasures that somehow survived the fire; with some damage, but survived for sure was my grandaddy's guitar that traveled with him through WWII. I saw a video the local news folks took and this guitar was in it, so I grabbed a still shot and painted it as it lay...I added some words from my heart..."Out of the ashes beauty will rise...I will choose to find my strength...my God will teach me to keep on growing and changing and moving toward the true gifts beyond"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I wanted it to be a reminder of how we can survive during the destinations of life.</div>

I put these sticks on gallery wrap canvas as shown above and on barn wood...but who knows what material for a background will come to me next! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">WORDS with my work has begun to be more and more important to me. I played with it in my early works that now describe a bit of a familiar to me style as in my 24"x12" "Aspen Lights and Shadows"...the whole phrase is "aspen lights and shadows weave through"...It seemed important to me to describe my experience with the aspen stands I had walked among. I realized it was harder to market and sell these works because not only does it have to appeal subject wise, color wise, design wise, but then also PHRASE wise...I still do these on my 2D works, but not as often for the very reason I described...but I still have a need to include the word or phrase as I can...</span></div>

This very special "journal page" like painting is created specifically for Luna's Mandala. Words have found a way into my paintings a lot lately...I'm drawn to the added power they can hold when added with the visual. The photo doesn't show it but a peridot has found its way into the center of the poppy.</div>

If you have not been up to Conifer to see this special space I hope you do soon! Luna has a wonderful store that includes original artwork from local artisans...jewelry, wonderful organic and trade free clothing, minerals, crystals and MORE! I love the atmosphere at Luna's Mandala...it is CALM and INVITING! She is wonderful about making everyone who stops by feel like they are the one and only! SO, I am pleased to do work that "fits" in when ever she asks. "Dream Catcher" is one such piece! </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
ALSO specific to Luna's are my "Affirmation Sticks". These fun little bits o art are my way of reminding us that we are important, and we need to remember it! I create these affirmation sticks by wrapping a dowel with hemp, leather, and other bits of this or that and then add color and such with beads of different stones. Then comes the affirmation. I will use metal pre printed ones if it fits, but if it doesn't fit what I want to say I make my own and encase it in two part epoxy for a permanent application. </div>

"do your best and let that be enough" is something I say to myself ALL THE TIME! I think women often push themselves to do so much and then spend so much time regretting that it wasn't enough. THIS affirmation is for a woman like this! We need to remember, OUR BEST IS ENOUGH! Thus the birth of this piece!This wrapped affirmation is attached to old barn wood and is ready to hang!</div>

and, is if that wasn't enough, the little reminder below "truth" should be enough to cement that thought in our minds...IT IS TRUE!

"Choose Happy" was a no brainer for me...we are living in some stressful times right now, so I wanted to bring some bright color and a reminder that we CAN "Choose Happy" to make our day tun around.

To paint aspen for me is a joy! I spend so much time in and around the aspen tree, I feel like they are family! This painting was from a need to feel the spring time at the tips of my fingers! I love the soft colors that bring spring, and that is what this painting is about. You will see bits of paper peeking through, and a mark or so here and there from charcoal to define a bit of the abstract feel of the leaves. I usually paint the subject matter in oil, so the top of it all will be oil. This 18"x18" cradled painting comes ready to hang.</div>

"Stretch" is an ostrich that is waiting to be in a small works show at the Acorn Gallery in the Lakewood Arts Council location February 26-March 31, 2017. It is hard to get photos of work as it really is, so I hope you can stop by the LAKEWOOD ARTS COUNCIL right next to Casa Bonita in Lakewood, CO to see these little bitties in person!<br />

Raja is a kitty that has passed on to kitty heaven. I did this commission for a dear friend who loved her dearly! These are important portraits for me, they are a tribute...they make me smile, and cry and remember how important life is in all forms! I loved her coloring all ready, but as is my style, I play with color (all except the eyes)...it's the fun part of being an artist!</div>

Sasha is the pet kid of a gentleman who owns a business up here in Conifer. She was commissioned by Raja's mom as a gift, so I try to say very little...no giving away surprises!! :) I love this dog...she poses for pics...she's a sweetie pie for sure!</div>
<br />
This is an unusual but fun time of year for me...I spend a lot of time on commissions and gifts that make it look like I'm not doing anything, when in fact, it's one of the busiest times of year for me. I just don't post a lot of them as folks who are recipients of the gifts might see! It is after the holidays that I start back on the main body of my work...so hang on! :)<br />
<br />
I've been really busy creating canvas baskets and affirmation ornaments for classes and such...below are just a few of what I've done.<br />

My son-in-law LOVES the Huskers...doing a helmet was my daughter's idea...so that is next for my easel...and one that is very important, that I will probably cry through, but I'm honored to do it...My co-grandma's father passed away recently. She took this photo of her holding her dad's hand...my sweet daughter thought it might be a good gift for her this year, so this will be a blessing painting!<br />

SO, as you can see, busy days here in my studio! I love this time of year for the gifts and commissions I am honored to do, and know that soon I will be back at my easel with my mixed media paintings...some of which I've already started! I hope this year finds you able to do blessings in whatever creative way is YOUR way!<br />

I am still slipping in mountain summits for my project of the same name. The name "Camelback Mountain" is derived from its shape, which resembles the hump and head of a kneeling camel. You can find this mountain in Phoenix, AZ. I like to add a frame suggestion for these fun paintings, and my favorite is a floater frame because it shows all the edges. I get my floater frames on line from a company called pictureframes.com. They offer a good selection of floater frames.</div>

I chose to frame him in a fun little gold 5"x5" wood frame and matt him in a contrast blue to help him pop among all the forest greens. I could have matted him in white for a safer, more appealing to the masses end result, but I felt playful for this guy today, thus the blue! FUN DOINS!</div>

Sept 14-Oct 14, 2016</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's that time again for the Mountainside Miniature Show here in Colorado. I always enjoy doing these shows as I like to paint small works along with my larger ones. I love the square format, so almost always do a square. This year I decided to do all animals as I've been missing doing them lately...so the first one is an ostrich of course...they make me LAUGH!</div>

"Superstition Mountain" is part of the Superstition Mountains just east
of Phoenix. The mountain range is in the federally designated <strong>Superstition Wilderness Area. </strong>The
elevation in the more remote, eastern portion of the wilderness is
higher than the western portion, which lowers temperatures slightly.
Numerous hiking trails cross the mountains from multiple access points,
including the Peralta Trailhead, the most popular. The Lost Dutchman
State Park, located on the west side of Superstition Mountain, includes
several short walking trails. This is painted in oil on panel and is
ready for framing or can sit on an easel or a shelf as is! In this
suggestion for frames I have placed it in a floater frame (not
included). I purchase my floater frames at pictureframes.com in their
floater frame section. The frame shown is CFS3.</div>
