I love to bead but I hate it too, because od deadlines and shit. I hate it. I hate that something I love i hate because I have to do it to pay the phone bill and shit.
I love to paint. I started to in elementary and was serious about it in high school because my art teacher was really cool and he got me into oil painting. I took art all 4 years as my elective and recieved A's all 4 years.
I love the Impressionist Era. I love Gauguin and Van Gogh the best. Well, Van Gogh the best I guess, everything about him and his life fascinates me.
I love to take on the view of things in this world through a brush. i love the lines and effects a brush gives.
Sometimes I wish I could see life that way.
So last year, I went to the city with my mom, sister and aunt. My mom was getting her hair foiled so we hit every thrift store that there is.
I...well my sister found a blank canvas at one for a dollar and showed it to me. I bought it but never painted anything on it.
Then when she took this picture of my baby sister Jonna I knew I was going to interpret it on that canvas.
This is how I see it through my eyes and brush

This is an awesome piece of art, Dana! I love your interpretation of the photo. I knew you could paint pictures with words, but I had no idea that you could also paint with brushes - I'm impressed... so many talents hidden within you, I hope they are passed on to your children. Do you see any budding writers in the bunch? I too am sad that you have bead under pressure, I wish it could be something that you just do for the love of doing it. Maybe someday it will happen! I refuse to ever give up hope of brighter futures (perhaps I am an idiot, but to loose hope is to loose everything).
Very impressive. You definitely have talent. My favorite painting is 'Christina's World' by Wyeth. Have you any more of your work you might share with us?:)
