art for life saundra lane galloway art for life inspiration is god s gift to the artist s soul home about website prints facebook pinterest order your own pet portrait monday july 13 2020 a light in the forest again this is a re work of a painting i did a bit ago that was just too busy in my view so i sanded and scraped off texture and re worked certain areas to simplify it to what you see now see the previous version here i love pine trees almost as much as aspen however in life they just don t grow that close and even though it was my artistic rendition i was always a little claustrophobic when i looked at it so one day i just decided to simplify which by the way is my new thing maybe ha don t be afraid to play with something you have once called complete as long as you are the creator and it is within your grasp if you find inspiration to make it better so be it there is something freeing about re working a piece it is like looking into the depths of it and yourself and pulling out even more i actually really love this process i admit that it took some elbow grease to scrape some of the texture down but i didn t want it so intense with the new subtlety of it if that is even a good descriptor as you can see in this side view i ve stained them a green that works with this painting these cradles are great as they are practically indestructible and with the thinnest version of mdf there is 1 8 it is surprisingly light weight here you can see the texture scattered in an intentional way in a light in the forest it fills in the imagination about all the things that are in the thick of the woods i get this texture by using modeling paste and a palette knife using those bags that some fresh onions or potatoes sometimes come in you just spread it like butter and lift it off there is a chest across from the front doors of my home where a painting similar hangs but i hung a light up here so you can get an idea i hope this encourages you to not be afraid to try to re work an older painting you might just love it best of all happy creating posted by saundra lane galloway at 3 55 pm no comments thursday june 25 2020 necessary upheavals of a new computer last week my old laptop was on its last legs so i decided to change my life for a bit and get a new one i ended up with a refurbished tower and have been adding things to it ever since this is awesome in a way but very demanding of my time and life also i went from windows 7 to windows 10 and that came with changing my photo storage system as well wow i have been slipping away from it for moments at a time to re work a painting i ve never loved and adding some splash to another one i love but i think i can do better it makes for a bit of upheaval for sure the video above is of the tweaking to a painting from a few years ago that always bugged me i love parts of it but other parts yuck i m still editing this version but thought i d play with a video here i m learning a lot about switching to a new system it isn t all rainbows and kittens but i ll make it through but will my art business survive the glitch of time yet again yes eventually wish me luck posted by saundra lane galloway at 3 46 pm no comments wednesday june 3 2020 everything has changed and that s a good thing dreaming tree epoxy necklace now on faso under my jewelry collection i have been revamping my life and my on line presence and my classes for awhile now and i finally have found my creative voice and have gotten most of my p s and q s together after many attempts at many different sites including etsy and a few free websites i have landed in the best place online i could be my fineartstudioonline website as it turns out i was trying to find separate sites that would hold my paintings that was faso my jewelry and creative treasures i failed miserably with etsy as they take way too much and i was forced to raise my prices and they would take money out of my account and i could never figure out why i paid for ads with them and sold some but again they took way too much and the day i stopped the ads my sales went to zero i found out that they can bury your ads so you feel forced to advertise with them scam the day i found out that faso would hold everything i do i was in heaven not only is that great but they do not take a commission in the form of fees or anything else no transaction nothing but what pay pal charges for services which is a great deal less than etsy and fine art studio online has an excellent customer service team that will chat with you on line you can email them or talk to them on the phone very soon often within minutes so call me a happy artist i m busy loading my items in my website as we speak give them a try if you paint and need a good reputable company happy creating posted by saundra lane galloway at 2 53 pm no comments thursday august 31 2017 a bear in paradise mixed media on cradled panel copy saundra lane fine art a bear in paradise 18 x18 sold mixed media on cradled panel this bear painting was done as a request from someone who saw bear visit i did a year ago that sold and she loved it so much she wanted one similar which is good as similar is all i would be able to do on something like this you can see the first one below is similar but different ha i enjoyed working on it to try to give her what she wanted i think each one has some fun qualities so i didn t mind doing it detail i think she will enjoy the different paper i know her well enough to know this this gives an idea of size when put in some type of decor this one is cradled i used a combination of grey and leather stain to compliment the painting stay inspired in any way you can posted by saundra lane galloway at 11 09 am no comments labels

on panel permantly mounted on frame 85 on hold for the mountainside miniature show august 30 september 28 2017 lakewood arts council next to casa bonita this is my 3rd entry for the mountainside miniature show coming up in just a few days i love painting dragonflies and the story goes that when a dragonfly lands on you you will hear excellent news from someone far away from home a dead dragonfly symbolizes sad news dragonfly symbolism crosses and combines with that of the butterfly and change the dragonfly symbolizes going past self created illusions that limit our growing and changing dragonflies are a symbol of the sense of self that comes with maturity they are fantastic flyers darting like light twisting turning changing direction even going backwards as the need arises they are inhabitants of two realms starting with water and moving to the air with maturity but staying close to water some people who have the dragonfly as their totem have had emotional and passionate early years but as they get older they achieve balance with mental clarity and control they gain an expression of the emotional and mental together dragonflies are old and adaptive insects and are most powerful in the summer under the effects of warmth and sunlight their colors are a result of reflecting and refracting the power of light as a result they are associated with color magic illusion in causing others only to see what you wish and other mysticism the are often represented in japanese paintings representing new light and joy to some native americans they are the souls of the dead faerie stories say that they used to be real dragons dragonflies are reminders that we are light and can reflect the light in powerful ways if we choose to do so let there be light is the divine prompting to use the creative imagination as a force within your life they help you to see through your illusions and allow your own light to shine in a new vision whatever they are to you a dragonfly is a pretty little creature for sure find inspiration wherever you can posted by saundra lane galloway at 3 39 pm no comments labels dragonflies dragonfly paintings dragonfly symbolism oil
