I completed and published my Wisdom Painting website today. That was quite a project! Perhaps I will get back to my fine art painting really soon.

Here are some favorite phone art images that I created in June. I create them almost daily, sometimes 2-3 per day. I have been receiving good feedback on most recent creations. Let me know what you think.

Two New Digitally Altered Photographs

Two new digitally altered photographs are available in prints. Both are of a tree I photographed at Fay Canyon, Sedona, Arizona. I brought them into my cell phone app and played around with them to create a new digital image. Enjoy.

Committed to my Art

Commitment in the Clouds.Digital  Phone Art.

True confessions... I committed to my art, officially to myself, on September 4, 2013. Ever since, I seem to have gone underground. So, what's going on? Why have I not been able to come to the surface and perform?

I will just throw my thoughts out here since it is my blog about my art notes and thoughts. So... it must be because deep down inside somewhere I don't believe that I deserve to prosper from doing what I love. I seem to have effectively punished myself for the past 3-1/2 months.

Fly Free, Digital Phone Art.

I have done a couple of very small plain air paintings, on recycled cardboard of all things. I must have bought into the "starving artist" syndrome and internalized it on a deep level.

I packed up everything, placed most of it in storage, and moved from Tucson to Prescott, and landed in Cottonwood, Arizona.  I still don't have all of my art supplies and canvases in one place.

I have allowed my thoughts, my commitment, my self-confidence to waiver. I think I have been shrinking myself so I didn't have to actually live up to my highest art potential. Ouch! On some level, I have been playing small for a long time and especially since I profoundly made the commitment to self and to my art. I must step up to the plate, stand tall, take back my power. I am a creator, after all!

Okay, in my own defense, as I'm posting my phone art images on this post, I realize that I have not stopped creating altogether. I have been wildly creating new phone art. So, perhaps, I have not been totally underground. I still allow myself to delight in the creative process. Hmmmm... this makes me feel much better.

Today, I recommit... to my art. I allow my art to prosper me financially. I hope I have something more to contribute to next week's blog, like a new painting! Thanks for listening.

What My Fans Tell Me About My Art

"Oh, this one is truly great!
I love this style, Mary! "

Oh, this one is truly great! I love this style, Mary!

In this week's blog, I focus on what a few of my fans are telling me about my art. It might be time to take my art more seriously, devoting more time and attention… and action toward its success.

I truly love making art and yet, it seems something inside me does not believe that I can prosper by creating art. So, maybe if I listen to what others are telling me about my art, it will propel me forward and deeper into my own positive belief.

Thank you to these fans for appreciating and talking to me about my art. It is deeply appreciated.

Read the captions underneath each work of art for comments on my art and those particular works.

"Mary very nice ....... your pieces are fabulous!!!!

"Terrific!" --BS

I think it would make great prints for doctors, dentists offices. Childrens wards in hospitals. Childrens bedrooms. Sunrooms, anywhere you want something really bright and cheery…Really, you've never thought of this? I've been thinking it for a long time.
…I think you could have a market for your art. I keep calling it happy. But it is… it's also fairylike… and sorta magical. I wouldn't put it in my living room… but kids would love the bright colors and the fantasy of it." -- MMT

"Absolutely love seeing your art!" --BS

By the way Mary... I just want to say that I love your art. It is so bright and fun. Have you done anything with it as far as selling it? …Like I've said before, I think your art would be wonderful in hospitals, especially in childrens wards. It's so happy. …"

"Mary, they need people like you. ...what I mean by they need people like you is that everthing that can be done to promote healing, or even just a pleasant place for someones last days is a gift. Your art is brilliant, colorful. I look at it, and it makes me happy. I think that it could have the same effect on others.

 … "

"...And it has been proven that good thoughts and such can be healing.

 Sooooo, your happy art could help save lives... That's why I think you are necessary!




 …"

"Mary… just looked at your [Mary's Fine Art Facebook] page. Do you even begin to understand what you could do?" --MMT

So, to the readers of this blog post… what do you think? Do you agree with what the others have been saying about my art? Do you have any suggestions, contacts, or leads to share with me? How can I expand my art market? I welcome all of your comments.

" Lovely Mary.......    " --VR

Phone Art

It is addicting. I uploaded the Paint Joy app on my android phone months ago. This week, I decided to give it a try since my Muse was screaming at me to create something. Much to my delight, it is so much fun!

Fingers and Tools

I can create mini pictures with my finger and the tools on the app. Choices of colors and media give me many options to create to my heart's content. Here are the drawings I have done this week.

Enjoy.
