JUST ONE DROP 3 Dimentional Acrylic on Paper built up on Masonite 36 x 36

JUST ONE DROP

 

The idea for this piece came from a sermon delivered at the Center for Spiritual Living Dallas by Dr. Rev. Petra Weldes.  If you want to realize the vastness of the universe, you need only stare out at the ocean. Visualize each wave as an individual, each coming from the same source.  Scientist have discovered that a single drop of that ocean holds all that is found in the Universe.

VROOM VROOM Acrylic on Canvas SOLD

VROOM
It’s her birthday
She tells you she is this many
And she holds up four fingers.
She is so very excited because
Today, you see,
Bright
And shiny
And red,
She got her first set of wheels
Three if you’re counting.
She places herself carefully on the seat
Gets an arm wrestler’s hold on the grips
Places her feet strategically on the pedals
And off she goes
Traveling from 0 to 3.2 in 5 seconds
Her braids flying straight back behind her
Her puppy chasing with tongue lolling
She is feeling the need
The need
For speed

Zentangled Hands.  Can you tell which are mine and which are Heidi's?

Zentangle Practice pieces

These are some of the zentangle practice pieces I have done since taking the class from Sandhya Manne CZT.  This is an addictive artform and definitely allows for meditation.

DIVERSITY OF TEXAS 16 x 20 Acrylic 3 Dimesional on canvas board

This Piece is on display for the Membership Show at The Plano Centre until the end of February 2012.  The theme is "What I Love About Texas"

My description that went along with this piece is ... From the High Plains to the Alamo; from the Rio Grande to the Gulf Coast, the diversity of TEXAS will keep you busy.  I first came to TEXAS 20 years ago for a training class.  For three weeks, the class learned insurance by day and Tex-Mex cuisine by night.  I had never tasted better.  It wasn’t until 2003 that I finally moved here with a native Texan and began to enjoy all the wonders of TEXAS.  I’ve been to the beaches on the Gulf Coast, to the caverns near San Antonio.  I have visited the Hill Country vicariously through the stories of a friend who goes there every year for an artist’s retreat.  Ahhhh the diversity of TEXAS, mountains, beaches, desert, cactus, caverns, guacamole and Cowboys – what more could you want.

CSL Artist of the Month Show - July 2010

The second month of showing my art in the Center for Spiritual Living foyer. I switched some out and did some re-arranging. Still, for me, a very successful showing.

DIVERSITY 16x20 Oil on Canvas

This is the painting that started me into my second attempt at becoming a professional artist. I have always loved the abstract painting that could be anything to the eyes of the beholder. My journey in this world of abstracts has been an amazing trek into a world ruled by color, brush and pallet knife.

UNDERGROUND CAVERN 8x20 Acrylic on Paper

Stalactites and stalagmites – have you ever been spelunking? Does the idea of being a mile underground creep you out? Try it and be amazed at the beautiful sculptures created by dripping water. Here in Texas, you can even attend an amazing world flute and brass bowl concert down in the depths of mother earth.

This is the foyer gallery display at CSL Dallas(Center for Spiritual Living). My very first art show. I am the "Artist of the Month" for both June and July. Getting lots of "oooos" and "ahhhhs" from most of the viewers. Some even saying that the display makes them happy when they see it. There is even the possibility of a couple of sales. WoooHoooo!
