Something Great Wakes up from something Bad

Back in the summer 2013, Mia started painting by “coincidence”.

She searched  for something that would make her feel less pain or otherwise help replace the pain that she had in her body, if only for a little while.

For a couple of years Mia have lived with Lyme disease (Borreliose) and have been going through treatments. She didn’t want to eat more painkillers or use any morphine plaster. Instead, she began painting!

Mia called her project: ‘The Pain-Paint Therapy’

Never before had she held an artist’s paint brush in her hand, Mia bought home what she thought was she needed to create ‘something’.  And she just started!

It was an amazing feeling for her and the painting has helped Mia a long way on her path.  Every summer, she carry out her easel to a sunny space and starts to paint.
It also brought her children and her closer together, to create a hobby room outside for all of their creativity. 

Mia's daughter Olivia (9 years old) and Mia paint together.  Olivia is truly Mia's best adviser and coach. Max (7 years old) is creating colorful snail houses. They are a colorful family

That’s Amore!

PAIN PAINT PROJECT

 Having lyme disease you have to be creative the whole time or you fall down the black whole. Chronicle Lyme is always there, and you have to be strong to keep it under control. My painting has (is) my savior. Never would I have believed ...me painting.

I love it. Its so much fun and relaxing. I don't have to eat painkillers. So I named my work
"Pain Pain Therapy"

Dog, Senior, no value in many eyes (I adore them)

 This I actually made last year. It was my first painting. I dusted it off today.

Butterfly, in so much chaos around but still so beautiful.

Working on this one, and its interesting why this one is starting to become my favorite.

Not to have a voice. Stand up and find your voice, your key.

I am happy! That's Amore!

SUMMER PAINT PROJECT

Canvas 40x40, Acryl

Namaste, hummingbird..its amazing what comes out when you don't think or make any plans.

Some have asked if my painting are for sale, and yes they are. My passion is helping those without a voice.  This passion also colors my work on canvas.  You may own one of my works for a minimum donation of 50 Euro + shipping.  The full donation, minus the cost of the materials used in the work of art, will go to help animals through the non-profit organization I founded in 1999, Animals Without Limits.  The larger the donation, the more animals in chaos, crisis and war-zones we can assist.


We are on Facebook ,  Twitter (AnimalsWL)

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!

WILL I GROW?

I asked my art/life therapist last Thursday if I would grow, from painting like a second grader to paint as a four grader?

I love playing with the colors, and I have no idea what I am doing. My inner child gets to come out and be creative.

I just paint and never have a clue of what it will become. I thought I started to paint a puppy, but obviously my love for Seniors took over my brush (smiling)

The tears came and I "asked" the painting why?

"Many are so afraid of adopting Senior dogs"

That's why I painted the crown with hearts, since for me...they are the KINGS.

I love Senior dogs.

That's Amore!
