Window to my Heart

"Window to my Heart"

15" x 30"

I was sitting on my bed and was browsing artist pages and this is what came of that experience. I was looking at old antique jewelery and vintage photography. My passion and love is was I was looking at and I guess that is what I painted. Thank you for all of your support. Peace, Love, & Happiness!

Summer Explosion

"Summer Explosion"

Well here is the newest piece I have finished. I called it summer explosion because when I reflect on what I was thinking when I was painting this and what was happening around me this is exactly what was going on. My kids are begging to play on the water slide next door and the sun shinning bright and hot and it is mid May. The beautiful flowers and the smell of fresh cut grass and freshly laid mulch perfuming the air and the music of laughter and kids in the air. What happens as I was finishing this painting is the true sound of summer, it is the music of the beloved ice cream truck and the begging voices of my children for the refreshing treat and the splatters of melting ice cream ♥ ♥. This painting has texture and a high gloss look. I took my time painting this, I really wanted to have balance of dark and cool colors. It is a representation of where I hope my art is going. I want to tell a story and have representation of what my life is about. I want each peice to be a representation of Tina so each person who hangs a piece in their room can have a part of the story :). Keep the creative spirit alive ♥. Tina B.

Spring

I can not beilieve how fast time is flying! It is almost Memorial Day Weekend! Kids are almost out of school and summer is fast approaching. I have been working on a couple of paintings since my last post. I really try to get out there everyday and do a little. It really helps to calm me and do so enjoy it :). Here are a couple websites I am selling my art if anyone is interested.

It has been some time!!!!!

It sure has been a long time since I last logged onto this Blog. I forget how much I miss writing to an imaginary person everyday. This is really very comforting is a wierd way. Well I have painted alot more since my last post and I have started painting more abstract. I am really playing with colors, textures and other techniques. On a personal level I feel great. In fact I haven't felt this good for a very, very long time. I will try to be better with this because it really does feel good to write my thoughts out.

Time

Time 2010

This is my latest painting I just finshed today. It is called time. I really think this something we forget and then we wish we could get it back. I know when I look back on my last 15 years I wish I could have some time back.

Tree of Happy

Tree Whimsy

Painting I did this morning after I had a slight step back in my progress of happy. This helped me remember to take life a little more lightly. Remember the joy.

Good Day

Some days are good and it is a relief. These are the days I remember to have faith in the process of healing my self. I must remember that life brings the good and the bad and we just have to live through the bad to have the good days. My husband had the last few days off and we had a great time being together. We talked and relaxed and discussed our lives and where we are going and remembered the past and what a journey it has been to get here. It goes by so fast sometimes we forget to reconnect and that was what we were able to do the last couple of days. I love my husband with all of his quirks and I needed to remember why I love him so much and I really have been thinking about that for awhile and I came to the conclusion as to why. I love him because he tolerates me and all of my quirks. He loves me when I look my worst, he loves me when I act my worst, he says I sexy when I really need to hear it and he hugs and kisses me when I need love. I have faith in us, I have faith in myself and I have faith in my family. It feels good to know that this is one part to healing my sanity. I feel like I am heading in the right state of mind to start healing myself so I can become that person I want to be.

Love and Peace

Creative Angel

Pure 2010

This was my second painting today. This is my angel i feel that this may be my inner self. This is who I need to channel win I feel blue. I need to remember that just being me is a great thing. I will find that peace. I will find the inner calm that I really need in my life.

Learning about myself

Insight 2010

It was a hoot today. I really had a bad day so I had to get in the garage a paint. This is the first one that came out of my head. Hope it brings me wisdom to help me figure out myself. I learned today that I am not perfect and nobody is. Well I was always striving for perfection to find out all the times I let myself down and made myself feel so bad was a wasted emotional stress. I strive for my best and that is all. I will be the best woman, best mom, best wife, best daughter and best sister I can. I will allow my self to express my inner creative soul and I will heal through my art. I will be ME!

Sisterhood

Sisters 2010

It is good to remember that families are made up of different dynamics and that loving all is a way to always be connected to all. I really think women should be there for each other and support all. With support and love we are all friends and become the beautiful sisterhood of peace, wisdome and love!

Tree of Dreams

Dreams of Color 2010

I was thinking of the many ways our life can go. It is good to remember where our roots are and that all the things we do are interconnected and we should always follow our heart and stay grounded.

Mother

Mother - 2010

Super powers, blue skies, peace, hair in place, with cream complection, and rosy lips. This is my dream.

For the Birds

I wanna see! 2010

I was dreaming about spring, beautiful flowers, & butterflies. Do you ever wonder what the birds are thinking?

Day One Feb 1st

Freedom 2010

It is my husbands birthday today! He turned thirty :)! It has been a very good day. I was not able to get into the garage to paint but I will make sure tomorrow I make some time. I have been really enjoying my time painting and listening to music. I really feel like my self. I feel like the canvas is mine to develop and mold and that is what I want in my life. I want to be the one in control. I want to get my balance back and grow into the woman, mother, wife, sister, daughter that I should be. I want to be beautiful inside and out. I want the color and vitality I paint comes through in my life. I will get there and I will shine. I want freedom from myself. I need to give me back to me. It is my life and I choose what happens and doesn't happen. I can make myself happy!
