Strutting Your Stuff
Strutting your Stuff!!! If you have ever watched the movie, “Staying Alive” and watched John Travolta dance his pants off -- well, literally, of course, then you know the feeling of giving it all -- 500% Not only is John beautiful to watch, he is in incredible shape and you know that you are watching perfection. There must have been months and months and hours and hours of practice to make that last dance work.
John was so HOT in this movie -- and when he danced, it was all of him -- every muscle, every movement was sensual and powerful. Just watching him dance, makes me want to dance -- as his partner, of course!
He danced his heart out -- he broke the rules -- he was there in the moment with every part of his being! And that fever, that intensity, is what a painting cries out for -- All of you.
After his performance he just wanted to walk the streets of New York and Strut his Stuff!
And that’s how you feel when you do that powerful painting that makes you smile and makes you glad that you are a painter.
Soooo -- here’s the challenge. Strut your Stuff! Play the song, “Staying Alive” and paint your pants off and see what painting with all of you is like! And let’s see these incredible paintings!
I look forward to seeing these great paintings and Strutting your Stuff! Send me photos of your incredible paintings!

Discovering New Techniques
When Jackson Pollock dripped paint on the floor while he was painting, a whole new form of art was created -- it opened new doors for his painting and for the public who then collected his abstract art. He was inspired! And he painted some amazing canvases, and his art grew into his “method” of creating art. He had shows in New York, magazine articles and fame. Yet, somehow over the following years, he forgot to stretch himself again and develop new techniques to express himself.
Change is good -- stretching your artistic muscles is a must to keep your art and yourself growing. When you try new colors, new brushes and new techniques you are opening the door to your “method” of painting and the world awaits your creativity. And, you never know what magic will happen!
Try something new today -- Discover your genius!

Finding Your Voice
Art has been a tremendous part of our universe -- it has grown from crude drawings inside caves to incredible paintings that grace the walls of so many homes and businesses and museums! We are surrounded by art of all kinds -- it is seen on billboards, clothing and even graffiti!
Over the centuries artists have survived and painted -- even when they were told what to paint (mostly religious scenes), they found a way to truly express their thoughts on life and their universe. I remember reading how many Russian artists used to hide their “real” art under their beds, knowing what would happen if they were found out.
Today, there are no restrictions on what we paint or how we paint -- isn’t that amazing? The doors to “art” have been opened and it is up to us to “speak” our words of art with freedom. It is important to find your “voice” in your own art and let that person “out of the box”!
Here’s to art that truly comes from your heart! What is your art saying?

Painting with Red
As a painting evolves, it creates its own story - the strokes of the paint guide you into the canvas and when you get lost in the painting (even for a few seconds) -- the painter has done their job. That is the magic of painting -- to create a place to go that makes you smile, makes you think of memories that you cherish, and touches your heart!
When painting people, I love to push the painting to the abstract where you as the viewer finish the story through the movement of the paint. Red is my favorite color and using greys around it makes it "pop" on a canvas.
Capturing that fleeting moment is what this painting is all about.
