Children and My Art

Many children are allergic to animals but they love my animal paintings. The children love my art since the colours are bright and happy (just like their spirits are) One little girl told me she felt happy looking at her picture before going up from bed. I have to tell you, my heart skipped a beat and my tears came. What a better art critic can I get?

I am so happy and blessed that my pictures are touching hearts and spirits.
That's Amore!

Många barn är allergiska mot djur, men älskar mina tavlor. Barnen älskar mina målningar, då färgerna är starka och glada (precis som deras själar) En liten flicka talade om för mig att hon tittade på "min" målning varje morgon innan hon steg. Det gör henne glad och harmonisk innan dagen börjar.  Mitt hjärta gjorde ett kraftigt dubbelslag och tårarna kom fram. Bättre beröm kan jag inte få!

Jag är så lycklig och tacksam att mina målningar berör hjärtan och själar.

That's Amore!

PAIN PAINT PROJECT

 This project, did I start last year, due to my chronicle Lyme disease. The pain was horrible and I started to drift into a lighter depression. For years struggling with pain, with different diagnoses--that I didn't accept--

Later, I found a long good treatment. However, the pain came and went, due to stress in life and wrong food (and wrong people). Instead of eating painkiller or using morphine pad I started to paint. I had never before held in a brush, not even being close to a canvas....but it helped me. When starting to paint my mind went into a kind of meditation. And I love it! Its amazing what can come out from you without you knowing whats hiding inside of you. An interesting fabulous journey. And my wonderful children, are also starting to have fun with the brushes.

Jag startade detta projekt forra aret pga min kroniska Borrelia sjukdom. Smartan har varit fruktansvard (kommer och gar) och jag borjade dala in i en latt depression. I flera ar har jag fightats med dena sjukdom men under aren har jag fatt olika diagnoser--som jag inte har accepterat. Men till slut hittade jag en behandling som har gjort livet lattare. Men, smartan kommer och gar pa grund av stress eller fel mat. Istallet for att ata smartstillande eller anvanda morphin plaster borjade jag att mala! Jag har aldrig tidigare hallt i en pensel och aldrig varit nara en malarduk.....men det hjalper!
Nar jag borjar mala ar det som jag gar in i ett meditativt tillstand. Jag alskar det!
Det ar otroligt vad som kommer ur dig utan att du vet om det.

Djupets hemligheter!

Livets intution!

Intressant underbar resa. Och mina underbara barn, har ocksa startat att ha roligt med malarpenslarna.

 Not done, still in working progress.....I have never painted a hummingbird before, it "just
happened ;-)"

Today I looked up what it stood for; "In many traditional cultures of the western world the hummingbird has powerful religious and spiritual significance.  In the high Andes of South America, for example, the hummingbird is taken to be a symbol of resurrection. This is because each hummer becomes lifeless and seems to die on cold nights, but it comes back to life again when the miraculous sunrise brings warmth.
 When we assume hummingbird consciousness, our life becomes a wonderland of sensuous delights. We live for beauty, delighting in flowers, aromas, fine mist, and delicate tastes.
When it becomes our totem, the hummingbird teaches us to laugh and enjoy the creation, to appreciate the magic of being alive, and the truth of beauty.
Hummingbirds awaken us to the beauty of the present moment. As they dance the four quarters of embodied exisence, they bring us medicine to solve the riddle of duality. They also awaken us to the medicinal properties of plants.
 Namaste sign in the triangle, 

Namaste, has a deeper spiritual significance. It recognizes the belief that the life force, the divinity, the Self or the God in me is the same in all. Acknowledging this oneness with the meeting of the palms, we honor the god in the person we meet.

That's Amore, Namaste

DADDY IS HOME!

Earlier on this blog, I have written about how I had started painting instead of eating pain killers for the severe pain from Lyme disease. Painting made my mind focus on something other than the pain.

 I realized I liked playing with colors a lot. It is fun!

My neighbor came over one evening and looked at my painting. Suddenly she said, "That is so cool, I like it. But the fish skeleton is backwards."

I still chuckle!

Sometimes, when I look at art, I do wonder what is going on in the artist's mind and heart when they are creating. Now, I do wonder what is going on in mine?
I guess that's called "Art". A creative mind working though a hand and brush not canvas!

That's Amore!

STAND UP FOR MYSELF

Its interesting how little we know about ourself. When I look back at my years I have done so many things I wouldn't had expected from myself.

Thanks to my Lyme Disease I started to paint. I absolutely do not call myself artist. I call myself Creative.

I find it so much fun, inspiring and scary. Scary since I never know what will come up on the canvas.

This is so far from being done, and some of the things I will re-paint. Before the helmet was painted I had painted feathers. From Indian Chief to Soldier Peace. Yep, you never know your own path.

Stay Brave.

That's Amore!

TOTEM PAINTING

So my last painting outside my comfort zone, but will you ever be done? I constantly see things that I could improve, change or add color to it. But its so much fun.

Sometimes I peak on other artist pages, but not to long....I noticed my confidence then goes done a bit. But people/artist with colors inspires me I want to be able to paint as them.  But most of the time I just love it, what a great way of not thinking for a couple of minutes...its a great pause in my hectic lovely days. And, it seems to be the only time my two kids doesn't interrupts me....hm, interesting.

That's Amore!

I KNOW I AM BETTER SINCE I SEE IN COLORS

 What a process! What a year of battling this awful Lyme Disease! The Crime of Lyme! But I know I am getting much better.  Not only do the tests show it, my love for colors is back. Battling Lyme is not only a health issue, it is mental and family. Your mind is getting into a Zombie-state, pain in the body and depression is sneaking up, waiting in the hallway to enter your mind. You don't only fight the pain you have to take back control of your mind. No one else can do it for you. I started to paint and dream again. I had to change my dreams since I know my body will not be able to do what I had previously dreamed about. So I changed my dreams and re-painted the picture in my heart.
 This is the first time I am holding a brush and acrylic paint. I have no idea what to paint, but let my intuition buy what I needed and followed with my hands what comes out from my mind.
The butterfly is me, exploded out from the ocean of madness, pain, chaos --- into the area of light and energy from the colored stones.
 This colorful acrylic painting was done by Olivia (8 years old) and me, creating together. I love how she wrote AWL on top (our rescue organization www.animalswithoutlimits.com) I am so proud over my daughter.  I hope we will create more paintings together.
That's Amore!
