This work of art came directly from my soul. It is muted on purpose to capture the feeling of shape shifting spirit. I experienced this, and fortunately had witness. Had I not; I still may be questioning myself.
And, ahh for the love of cover music. Jennifer O’Connor does Cat Stevens proud with her cover of one his songs. As always, I wish you love, and joy.

Art: tierza – Title: Butterfly on Hand
Music: Jennifer O’Connor covering Cat Stevens “Wind”
I can’t say just how much I love Timmy Reynolds. I remember seeing him solo, live in Columbus Ohio. I felt really bad as his genius was boo’d. Sad, thing was everyone who really didn’t understand his music thought they were going to a Dave Matthews Band Concert. I also was fortunate to see The Dave Matthews Band multiple times in Columbus Ohio. I loved it when he kicked off his tour, and had tickets for two nights. TWO separate play lists. So many things in these lyrics are true for me, in the present, where I sit and ponder. The art I created is a bit dark; unlike the bright and shiny pieces that thrill me to make. I am exploring, searching; and thankfully finding answers. Lyrics from this song will be at the end of the post.
As ever I wish you joy and love. #art #artist #exploring #TimReynolds #DMB
“Dancing Nancies”
“Could I have been
A parking lot attendant
Could I have been
A millionaire in Bel Air
Could I have been
Lost Somewhere in Paris
Could I have been
You’re little brother
Could I have been
Anyone other than me
Could I have been
Anyone other than me
Could I have been
Anyone
He stands touch his hair his shoes untied
Tongue gaping stare
Could I have been a magnet for money?
Could have been anyone other than me?
Twenty three and so tired of life
Such a shame to throw it all away
The images grow darker still
Could I have been anyone other than me?
Then I look up at the sky
My mouth is open wide lick and taste
What’s the use in worrying, what’s the use in hurrying
Turn turn we almost become dizzy
I am who I am who I am well who am I
Requesting some enlightenment
Could I have been anyone other than me
And then I’ll
Sing and dance
I’ll play for you tonight
The thrill of it all
Dark clouds may hang on me sometimes
But I’ll work it out
And then I
Look up at the sky
My mouth is open wide lick and taste
What’s the use in worrying, what’s the use in hurrying
Turn turn we almost become dizzy
Falling out of a world of lies
Could I have been a dancing Nancy a dancing Nancy
Could I have been anyone other than me?”

These are some older works. I was looking at them and pondering my reality. One work is on paper, the other on canvas. I am not sure if they fit with me any longer. Time will know. The lyrics of this James Taylor song made me think of fire and rain as metaphors, as well as literal. I just wanted to share that. As always, kindness and joy. Spread some around.

Art: tierza – Peaceful slow hot day
Art: tierza – And it would rain for a million days
Music: James Taylor – “Fire and Rain”
I hope you will take to time to enjoy and ponder the art while playing the accompanying music. Someone commented on the arm they saw in the upper portion of the painting. This song pretty much sums up a reason someone dedicated this song to me. Love and kindness, always. #art #music #love #artist #abstract
Art: tierza -Title: “they will see us waving from such great heights”

Oh for the love of lilacs, and Jeff Buckley. When I was young I had a huge lilac bush outside my window, and the smell that wafted over me took me to other places. I miss that lilac bush. I was reminded of it on a trip to The House of Blues in Cleveland when I turned a corner, and my girls and I all said MMMM in unison. What a beautiful night that was. As always I wish you love and kindness.

I absolutely love Michael Franti & Spearhead. I have played this song countless times, it gives me strength knowing I am not alone.
Brilliant lyrics to make one think. Today I want to share one of the best self portraits I have ever seen. Self portrayal of Susan Loughry is spot on accurate, and I aspire to that level of creativity. Also, still moving, and I think some deconstruction going on today. I hope to be in that space tomorrow. Today’s post also will include a pictures of “The Series Remains.” I am reducing what I am using to its barest minimum. Meta art is being born! As always I wish you happiness and love.

From the studio Monday – Shouting out to the Sisters today. Special Shout outs to Susan, Trish, Joan .@Wohali and Francine. Thank you for the friendship, the uplifting, and also inspiring. Sister Awake is the name I gave to the piece in the window. I played the Tea Party for awhile on my ipod, checked out a multi-dimensional work of water color, and pondered where I would go with that. The current body of work exploding out of me is pushing boundaries of materials. I love the armored sculpture belonging to artist and permaculture practitioner Susan Loughry. Susan said she picked it up somewhere after attending what sounded like a wonderful pottery workshop, not to mention blacksmithing! YES! I said blacksmithing. Wishing you love and happiness.
I am posting a link for you to check out the Touchstone Center for Crafts “http://touchstonecrafts.org/”

Art: A lot of random
You know, I really did dance in the window, in a frame for a few minutes. I don’t think anyone saw that #performanceart, nonetheless it was fun. I listened to the song on my ipod: The Meat Puppets song titled “shine.” I enjoyed it, but had wished I was more surrounded, encapsulated in it. Staging a window fun and has a point! The thinking of this stage was to say I have a fear of a blank planet. Our plans are to have a Portal to Creative Reuse, as well as space for a Portal for Creative Connections. A mission to reduce waste, and think of art in a different way. Art working was fun. I did work in reference to the last post music. (Collective Soul- The World I know.) Thinking about the state of the world, I worked on deconstruction of a canvas for the tortured canvas concept. Score today: one new start, one disaster. and one reuse project started as well as the one dance in the window. And most of all I shined. As always I wish you love and happiness.
Music: The Meat Puppets – Shine
Art: Totally Random
Community: You betcha!

Not all of the art I make is with paint. Sometimes I go digital, fun stuff! I created this portal for no specific reason, but it was telling me something, but what? I now know and will be revealing more. I am going to load some of my paintings and continue move into a very sacred and special place. I am thinking today will be productive. This wonderful song by Collective Soul will inspire me today. I am not sure where that will lead. As always, I wish you love and happiness.

I am listening, and it makes me wonder. I will get a better picture of a spiral staircase where I am making art. This staircase is like a siren’s song to me, I wonder where it can take me. Yesterday I experimented with monoprinting. I am not completely in love with it. But, I did enjoy trying it. Will I do more? Hard to say. Always wishing you love and kindness.
I hope you enjoy pondering the art while listening to the music.
