Drawing inspiration from a beautiful faux stained glass piece....

The image on the left is beautiful gallery glass artwork by Lucy Shear that came across my newsfeed this morning.

She's inspired me to try adapting my zentangle designs into a faux stained glass artwork. The image on the right is the design I am creating. After I finish drawing it I will outline it with liquid lead onto an 8 x 10 acrylic sheet. There's going to be a lot of lead outlining to get done before I can start painting but I'm excited to see how this works. I'm feeling that this piece will be done in shades of blue and green. I'll be using translucent paints so when this finished piece is displayed in a window it will be just beautiful! I've also decided I should get some of the Gallery Glass gold leading because look how beautiful it is in Lucy's piece!

Who knew there was an artist lurking within? Certainly not me.

It started with my Mom giving me some paints that she wasn’t using but I never did anything with them because “I wasn’t artistic” - according to myself. We really need to learn to have a kinder inner voice because I have discovered that apparently I am artistic.

In early 2018 I was introduced to an artist on Instagram from Australia who makes the most beautiful art. I looked at it and was truly inspired. I thought how hard can it be to put dots on some rocks. I had never felt that I was artistic at all but this woman has changed me forever! So I began and since that time I have started following even more rock artists to inspire me.

In late 2019 my sister in law introduced me to another Instagram person who creates coloring books. Drawing is another thing I said I could never do but thanks to the inspiration I am receiving from this woman and through various social media sources I have discovered that I actually can draw.

So the lesson is....you never really know what you are capable of until you actually try it! Never say never, I can’t etc. to yourself. Obviously I have to change my words and thoughts from - "I'm not artistic" and "I can't draw" to.....
"Cool something new! Let's give it a try and see where it goes!" And now when people ask me what I do I say - I am an Artist!

I look forward to expanding my creativity. Thank you for your interest and support.
